BY E. MEYRICK. 561 



oblique, hardly rounded ; bright yellow-ochreous ; three suffused 

 white angulated fasciae, more or less confused together, first rather 

 broad, second narrow, not reaching costa, third narrow, cloudy, 

 not reaching inner margin ; a sharply defined interrupted black 

 line round apical third of costa and hindmargin to anal angle, 

 surrounded with white, at apex forming a small round black spot : 

 cilia yellow-ochreous, towards tips whitish, with a black spot at 

 apex. Hindwings and cilia light grey. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; one specimen in October. 



24. CoMODicA, Meyr. 



Head rough-haired ; ocelli present ; tongue absent. Antennae 

 f, in ^ filiform, simple, with deep notch immediately above basal 

 joint, basal joint elongate, sometimes dilated terminally, sometimes 

 with apical projecting tooth, without pecten. Labial palpi 

 moderately long, porrected, second joint beneath smooth or with 

 dense tuft of scales towards apex, terminal joint moderate, smooth 

 or loosely scaled or with long dense projecting scales beneath 

 throughout. Maxillary palpi long, filiform, folded. Posterior 

 tibiae clothed with long fine hairs. Forewings sometimes with 

 elongate transparent grooved patch beneath costa towards base, 

 costal area sometimes thickened before 11 ; 1 furcate, lower fork 

 partially obsolete, 4 absent, 7 sometimes absent, rarely 8 also 

 absent, 11 from ^. Hindwings 1, ovate-lanceolate, cilia 1-1| ; 

 veins 5 and 6 stalked, 6 to costa. 



A development of Ereunetis, characterised by the peculiar 

 antennal structure, formerly overlooked by me ; it is not yet 

 known outside Australia. The variation of neuration in the fore- 

 wings appears to occur within the limits of the same species.
