BY THE REV. T. BLACKBURN. 587 



This species appears to agree quite satisfactorily in structural 

 characters with Dicomada as described by Mr. Pascoe, — nor can 

 I find it to differ in any structural character from the specimens 

 mentioned above as D. litigiosa. The scales on the upper surface 

 do not form any well defined pattern ; those on the prothorax are 

 silvery about the sides of the segment and tend more to a coppery 

 tone on the disc ; on the elytra the silvery scales form a wide 

 fascia at the base and another behind the middle which in some 

 examples are fairly well defined while in others all that can be 

 said is that on a somewhat wide transverse space just in front of 

 the middle the silvery scales are less plentiful than elsewhere ; 

 where the fasciae are at all well defined the hinder margin of the 

 basal fascia and the front margin of the hinder one are shaped a 

 little like a very widely open V. 



Difiers from D. litigiosa, Pasc., and D. murina, Pasc, inter 

 alia by the rostrum being blackish at the base with more or less 

 of the apex red, and from the other two previously described 

 species inter alia by the greater length of the rostrum.

Antyllis. 



The following species differs in many chai-acters and in general 

 appearance somewhat widely from A. alternata, Blackb., but as up 

 to the present time I believe only this one genus of Australian 

 JErirhinidce has been described with the following characters ; — • 

 funicle of antennae 6-jointed, femora unarmed, apical joint of tarsi 

 projecting well beyond 3rd joint, — I think it will be well to 

 attribute to it all species combining those characters. 



Antyllis bella, sp.nov. 



Breviter ova! is ; picea, pedibus ferrugineis ; omnino squamis sat 

 crassis subsericeis dense vestita; subtus et in pedibus squamis 

 sat nitidis argenteo-subviridescentibus ; supra squamis pallide 

 brunneis, his in rostri et capitis lateribus, in prothorace 

 trivittatim, et in elytris circa scutellum vittatimque latera 

 versus (vittis postice intus dilatatis) cum squamis albidis
