266 NEW AUSTRALIAN LBPIDOPTERA, 



hindmarg-inal line : cilia ashy-grey, with a darker median line. 

 Hindwings with the hindmargin unevenly waved, with a slight 

 projection at anal angle; whitish; a blackish discal dot above 

 middle, hindmarginal area suffused with fuscous, more pronounced 

 at apex; a suffused, hardly traceable, waved hindmarginal line 

 pai'allel to hindmargin; hindmarginal line as in forewings; cilia 

 grey. 



2- (1) 32 mm. Differs only in position of third line of fore- 

 wings, which is from before f of costa to f inner margin, and is 

 gently curved inwards on lower ^ and without any projection. 

 The ochreous diffusion is absent as is the subterminal line. 



This is a perplexing insect to locate correctly. It hardly 

 agrees with the characters of Stiharoma on account of the antennae 

 and bifid posterior crests, a character only shared by ParalcBa: 

 but the palpi, which are very short, would remove it from that 

 genus. It would appear to have some resemblance to Gastrina, 

 but the absence of dilated femora is inconsistent with that 

 genus. I am not certain that the insect described as the 9 is 

 not a distinct species ; the balance of evidence appears to be in 

 favour of its being so. A similar peculiarity in regard to the 

 lines occurs in viel anotoxa, Meyr.
