35. Anthela phaeodesma,* n.sp. 



c?. 36 lum. S. 44 — 48 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax oclireous with somo 

 pinkish hairs. Antennae fuscous, stalk in <S partly whitish. Abdomen ochreous 

 sometimes pinkish-tinged. Legs ochreous; anterior tibiae and tarsi pinkish or 

 fuscous. Forewing's triangular, proportionately broader in <S, apes I'ectangular, 

 termen moderately bowed, scarcely oblique ; ochreous suffused with pinkish ; 

 lines fuscous ; a strongly curved line from J costa to i dorsum, sometimes faintly 

 marke<l; a white subcostal dot edged with fuscous at 1, and another in middle; 

 a broad line from | costa to | dorsum, nearly straight; midway between this 

 and termen a series of fuscous dots on veins parallel to tei-men; in c? some 

 fuscous suffusion near termen ; cilia coneolorous. Hindwings with fl and 7 

 connate or stalked, 11 absent; termen rounded; as forewiugs, hut without basal 

 line, and with one or no discal dots. Underside similar, but with two discal 

 dots on hindwings. 



N. Qld.: Kuranda near Cairns, and Atherton, in April; three specimens.

c? ?. 40 ram. Head, thorax, and abdomen duU-reddish. Palpi 2; reddish; 

 terminal joint whitish-ochreous. Antennae in c? white, in 2 grey, 

 towards base ochreous; pectinations fuscous. Legs reddish. P^rewings 

 triangular, costa nearly straight, slightly sinuate, apex acute, termen bowed, 

 slightly oblique; dull-reddish or ochreous-reddish ; marking's fuscous; sometimes 

 an irregular outwardly curved line at i; a small, whitish-centred, discal spot 

 beneatli i costa. and another beneath midcosta; a faint, anteraedian, transverse 

 line, sometimes reddish, between discal spots; a slightly curved line, sometimes 

 reddish, sometimes erenulate, from 3 costa to f dorsum; a subterminal series of 

 dots on veins, sometimes connected to form a erenulate line; cilia coneolorous. 

 Hindwings with termen slightly rounded or nearly straight, apex rounded- 

 rectangular; 6 and 7 separate or connate, 11 weak or absent; as forewings, but 

 with one or no discal spot, and only postmedian and subterminal lines, or with 

 the former obsolete. Underside similar, but markings nearly obsolete; both wings 

 with two discal spots, or with basal spot obsolete. 



In size intermediate between ferruijinosa. and pprrhica; from the former it 

 may be distinguished by the two discal spots, and from both by the acute apex 

 of the forewing. Walker's type is a ?; I have not been able to compare with 

 it the specimens I have described, but I think they are eonspecific.
