Brisbane. 



Mr. Meyrick kindly named this species for me. 



Sarotricha undulana, Hb. 



I have taken fourteen specimens of a Sarotricha at Brisbane, 

 which Mr. Meyrick considers to be aS'. undtolana This is a British 

 species, and naturally led to the idea that it must be a mistake. 

 But my specimens are certainly not English. They were taken 

 at light. I hope to obtain more and better marked specimens 

 next season, and so enable Meyrick to confirm his opinion or, 

 what I believe will rather be, to find this to be a new allied 

 species. Of course it may be an introduced species. I do not 

 know its food plant. But an English moth is hardly likely to 

 establish itself so near the tropics and not in Tasmania, N. Zea- 

 land, Melbourne or Sydney. 



Sarotricha demiota, [Meyr. MS.] n.sp. 



(J9. 20-24 mm. I sent Meyrick what appeared to be two 

 species of this genus. He has returned them both named as 

 above. The one type is a blue-grey with black lines, the other is 

 a brown-grey, with black lines and brown and black spots and 

 blotches. Head grey. Palpi blackish- grey. Antennae grey. 

 Thorax grey, some specimens with darker collar, and bounding 

 black line. Abdomen grey — easily greases. Fore wings and costa 

 slightly rounded, hindmargin rounded, grey or grey and brown 

 interspersed. In some specimens basal fourth dark grey-black, 

 with black lines and border, many short black dots on costa, 

 several in basal half reaching to centre of wing ; one irregular 

 sinuous denticulate line from costa at f to J inner margin, in 

 some specimens a deep black or brown spot on costa, a sub-marginal
