ON TWENTY NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN 

 LEPIDOPTERA. 



By Thomas P. Lucas, M.R.C.S.E., L.S.A. Lond., & L.R.C.P.Ed. 



I have been enabled by the assistance of Mr. E. Meyrick to 

 contribute this further paper to the tabulation of the Australian 

 Lepidoptera. In the greater number of cases the specimens have 

 been examined by Mr. Meyrick, and I have to acknowledge the 

 great trouble he has taken to examine the literature and collections 

 at home, and for the valuable hints and knowledge communicated 

 by him and placed at my service. In one instance he has estab- 

 lished a new genus to receive a species. The species not examined 

 by him have been carefully studied by his monographs and other 

 available literature.
