strongly rounded, wavy: colour and markings as forewings. 

 Underside oehreous. 



N.Q : Cairns; Innisfail. 



Gen. 39. Hyperythra. 



Hyperythra, Gn., Lep., ix., p. 99: Hmps., Moths Ind., iii., p. 21 8. 

 Callipona, Turn., Tr. R.S.S.A., 1904, p.236. 



Face with projecting tuft of scales. Tongue well-developed. 

 Palpi long, porrect; second joint very long, densely clothed with 

 long, rough hairs : terminal joint moderate, smooth, acute. 

 Antenna? of g bipectinate, towards apex simple. Thorax not 

 crested; beneath hairy. Femora smooth: posterior tibia? of £ 

 not dilated. Forewings in £ with fovea; 10 out of 9, 11 from 

 cell, free. Hindwings with cell extremely short (about ^). 



Evidently one of the Casbia group with extreme shortening of 

 cell, of hindwings. The fovea is nearly always absent in this 

 group, but I think it may have been originally present but lost 

 in most of the species and genera. 



130. Hyperythra rubricata. 



Hyperythra luted rubricata, Warr., Nov. Zool., 1898, p. 35. 

 Hyperythra rubricata, Swin , Tr. E.S., 1902, p. 61 2. Callipona 

 metabolis, Turn., Tr. R.S.S.A., 1904, p.236. 



The g of this species does not possess the tuft of hairs on 

 underside of forewings present in H. lutea Cram. Forewings 

 with 10 and 1 1 as above without variation (4 £, 3 Q). 



N.Q.: Claremont Island, Innisfail, Townsville. 



Gen. 40. Chrostobapta. 



Chrostobapta, Warr., Nov. Zool., 1909, p. 127. 



Frons flat. Tongue developed. Palpi rather short (not over 

 1), slender, porrect: terminal joint acute. Antenna? of g simple, 

 with very long ciliations. Thorax not crested, beneath not hairy. 

 Femora glabrous. Posterior tibia? with all spurs present; in g 

 strongly dilated. Forewings in £ without fovea, 10 absent, 11 

 from cell, not anastomosing. Hindwings normal. 



Type, G. delelaria Moore, from India. Probably vein 10 is 

 coincident with 9, in which case this genus, like Lomographa, 

 must be regarded as a derivative of Casbia,
