4(i. LyMANTUIA XKPIIlICMiKAPHA. 



Liimaiitiia veiihn,(jruiihii , Turn., Pnic. Roy. Sot-. Q'land. xxvii., 1915. p. 23. 



Forewin!i:> with 10 arising opposite 7. Hiniluiug-s with 6 and 7 separate or 

 stalked. 



In the type vein 10 arises on one side after 7, but the venation' of this wing- 

 is al)normal. vein 7 being connected beyond its middle by a crossbar with 8. 



Q. : Jit. Tambourine, Ivillarney; N.S.W. : Dorrigo (South Australian Museum. 

 A ? example, wing> fully developed, expanding 82 mm., forewings with 10 aris- 

 ing on one side shortly beyond 7, on the other side absent. It seems that this 

 species is subject to venational abnormalities.)
