fascia from base of costa to inner margin at ^, emitting a tooth 

 posteriorly which reaches | across wing; a suffused spot on costa 

 immediately above tooth, separated by ground colour; a thick

 Aving; a similar, inwardly oblique fascia, dilated on costa, from 

 costa at apex meeting termination of previous fascia, and emitting 

 a slightly curved tooth before anal angle: cilia ochreous, strongly 

 suffused with blackish and with an orange tooth just below apex 

 and at anal angle. Hindwings dark bronzj^-fuscous; cilia fuscous 

 tinged with yellowish. 



Gisborne, Victoria; one specimen in February (Coll. Lyell). 



In form of wing and markings it recalls both ojyhiodes, Meyr., 

 and sig)ii02yhora, Meyr. 



Philobota anarrecta, Meyr. 



I have received a specimen of this species taken by Mr. G. 

 Lyell, Junr., at Gisborne, Victoria, which presents some abnoi'mal 

 peculiarities by the curious structure of veins 4 and 5 of the 

 forewings, which are each curved so as to anastomose at half their 

 length, thus forming a small second cell; they then diverge and 

 terminate as usual on hindmargin; the neuration is otherwise 

 normal. The ochreous-yellow curved fascia from middle of third 

 streak is very strongly infuscated.
