116 DESCRIPTION OF A NEW MOTH OF THE GENUS PRYLLODES, 



This species is most nearly related to Phyllodes conspicillator, 

 Crara.,"^ described from the island of Amboyna, but it differs so 

 materially in markings from that species that I feel justified in 

 proposing the name P. Meyricki for it, as it is now very generally 

 admitted that the practice of distinguishing geographical forms 

 under distinctive names is a good one. 



Two specimens of this form are known to me ; one from Mt. 

 Bellenden-Ker, collected by Messrs. Cairn and Grant, has been 

 in the collection of the Australian Museum for some time, and 

 more recently a specimen from the Daintree River was forwarded 

 by Mr. C. French to Dr. Ramsay, the Curator of that institution, 

 at whose request I have drawn up the above description. 



For the wood-engraving which accompanies this paper the 

 Society is indebted to Mr. J. M. Cantle. 



* The following is, I believe, a complete list of the old-world species of 

 the geuvis Phyllodes described up to this time.
