264 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, vi., 



Forewings in £ without fovea: 2 from -|, 3 from near angle, 7, 8, 

 9, 10 stalked from ^, 11 connate, anastomosing with 12 shortly, 

 and then connected with common stalk of preceding veins. 

 Hindwings elongate, rounded-rhombiform; ceil rather less than 

 ^, discocellulars angled, the dorsal very oblique, 7 from before 

 angle, 8 approximated to cell to near £, then diverging. 



The form of the hindwings should be sufficient to distinguish 

 this from Casbia even if the neuration proved insufficient. 



139. Pkridelias aprosita, n.sp. 

 o.TrpocriTOs, unapproachable. 

 (-£. 22 mm. Head yellowish; face dark red, lower edge and a 

 median transverse bar orange. Palpi \\ ; yellow with two 

 oblique red bars. Antenna? whitish-grey; basal joint red with 

 yellow apex; pectinations in £ 12, apical -| simple. Thorax

 Abdomen bright yellow with irregular dark red irroration most 

 dense on apices of segments. Legs whitish-ochreous; anterior 

 femora and tibia? crimson internally; first joint of anterior tarsi 

 and middle tibia? fuscous internally. Forewings triangular, 

 costa strongly arched at base, then nearly straight to apex, apex 

 rounded, termen strongly bowed, slightly oblique ; dark red 

 strigulated with orange-yellow; markings yellow; a sinuate line 

 from J costa expanding above dorsum into a quadrangular hlotch 

 with its angles produced, connected with dorsum at middle and 

 ^, and also with a smaller tornal blotch; these blotches are paler 

 yellow and by contrast appear greenish: a second irregular line 

 from j costa to termen above tornus; an irregular spot on termen 

 midway between this and apex; cilia yellow with several dark red 

 bars. Hindwings rounded-rhombiform, bright red, strigulated 

 with yellow and dark red; a small yellow spot in disc before 

 middle; a postmedian dentate and strongly projecting yellow 

 line; succeeded by a broad, dark red, terminal band; several
