170 EEVISIOX OF AUSTRALIAN' LKPIDOl'TERA HYPSIDAE, AXTHELIDAE. 



purple-reddish, pinkish, grey, or whitish; cilia eoneolorous, or pinkish. Hind- 

 wings with a and 7 connate or stalked, 11 present but usually weak; termen 

 rounded; colour as forewing's. Underside similar. 



Best distinguished from phoenicias by the longer, pointed forewing's with 

 more obli(|ut' termen; the palpi appear also to be rather shorter, with shorter 

 terminal .joints. Unlike tluit species the coloration appears to be very variable. 



S. Aust. : Bungaree (Hawker, in South Australian Museum); N.W. Aust. : 

 Roeburne. Hammersley Range. Monte Bello Is., Wyndham. 



There is a $ in the Soutli Australian Museum from Beverley, W.A. 

 (Duboulay), — expansion CO mm., colour uniform pale-brown, wings rather 

 thinly scaled, — which I refer to this species, but further evidence is required 

 to confirm this.

8. Antuela clemexti.
