1200 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



68. Onych. traumataria^ Gn. 



(Onycodes traumataria, Gn. IX. 143, pi. ix. 8.) 

 (J^. 35-40 mm. Forewings with costa somewhat concave, apex 

 strongly produced, hindmargin concave beneath apex, bowed ; 

 hindwings with hindmargin rounded. Wings rosy-fulvous, cilia 

 reddish-brown or purplish ; hindwings suffused with ochreous- 

 yellow on costal half. A median series of more or less distinct 

 dull red spots crosses all the wings, and often forms a narrow 

 fascia on hindwings, which are strewn with longitudinal (?) striae 

 of the same colour. Forewings with an apical spot mixed with 

 brown, reddish, and white ; a similar spot near anal angle, and an 

 obscure costal streak preceding apical spot. The ^ is more rosy 

 and less yellow, the apical spot sometimes forming the commence- 

 ment of a dentate line. 



Hobart, Tasmania ; I have seen a specimen taken by Mr. G. F. 

 Mathew, but unfortunately omitted to describe it at the time. 

 The above description is translated from Guenee, only altering the 

 terminology so far as to make it correspond sufficiently with that 

 used by myself ; it is, however, poor and confused. His figure, 

 though not very good, is characteristic, and for the rest the 

 species is easily enough recognisable. 



69. Onych. lutosaria, Feld. 



(Arhodia lutosaria, Feld. pi. cxxiv. 15-17.) 



Q. 60 mm. Head dark ochreous-fuscous, with a white band 

 above palpi, and a broad whitish-rosy band between antennae. 

 Palpi rosy, base ochreous-yellow. Antennae whitish, towards base 

 rosy. Thorax yellow-ochreous, with a rosy spot on shoulders. 

 Abdomen yellow, irrorated with rosy, base more whitish, apex and a 

 dorsal series of pairs of spots rosy. Legs yellow spotted with rosy. 

 Forewings elongate-triangular, costa sinuate, apex acute, strongly 

 produced, hindmargin deeply concave beneath apex, strongly 

 bowed, very oblique beneath ; light yellow-ochreous, brownish- 

 tinged, with a few scattered purplish dots ; a dark purplish-
