1198 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



crimson. Legs pale yellowish, femora and tibise partly crimson. 

 Forewings somewhat elongate-triangular, hindmargin slightly 

 rounded ; light yellow, densely strewn with short suffused 

 ferruginous-orange sometimes crimson-tinged transverse strigulse ; 

 the yellow colour often forms a small clear spot at apex, and 

 sometimes others above and below disc beyond middle, and in 

 middle of hindmargin; costa finely strigulated with dark 

 purplish-fuscous, on basal fourth suffused with purplish ; a curved 

 transverse purplish-crimson streak from ^ of costa to before J of 

 inner margin, sometimes nearly obsolete ; a slightly curved trans- 

 verse purplish-crimson streak from beyond middle of costa to 

 beyond middle of inner margin; a more or less perceptible 

 variable purplish-crimson subterminal fascia : cilia purplish- 

 crimson, sometimes marked with yellow dots. Hindwings with 

 hindmargin waved, rounded ; colour and markings as in fore- 

 wings, but costal strigulpe and first transverse streak absent ; 

 second transverse streak central, straight. 



Townsville and Cairns, Queensland ; three specimens. Also 

 from New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Ceylon. 



10. Xenomusa, n.g. 



Face smooth. Tongue developed. Antennae in ^ — ? Palpi 

 very short, porrected, rough-scaled. Forewings with vein 10 out 

 of 9. Hindwings with veins 6 and 7 approximated at base, 8 

 fused with cell at a point near base. 



The (J is unfortunately unknown ; I suspect, however, that the 

 antennae may be unipectinated. The genus is peculiar, but affords 

 a valuable connecting link between the preceding and following 

 groups. 



67. Xen. monoda, n.sp. 



9. 41 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, abdomen, and legs 

 whitish-ochreous ; forehead with an irregular blackish bar, face 

 white ; antennae partially dotted with fuscous ; legs ringed with 

 dark fuscous. Forewings somewhat elongate-triangular, costa
