whitish-ochreous, dorsal half (or more anteriorly) reddish-brown 

 sprinkled with whitish ; an elongate-triangular dark fuscous 

 blotch extending along costa from J to -|, broadest posteriorly, 

 its posterior edge sinuate and connected by a curved line with 

 dorsal red-brown area; four white longitudinal lines, partially 

 edged with dark fuscous, in disc beyond this; an angulated pale 

 golden-metallic dark-edged transverse line from |- of costa to 

 tornus, more whitish costally; a pale leaden oblique streak from 

 costa beyond this to apex, margined with light reddish-brown, 

 becoming dark fuscous on costa; two suffused dark fuscous marks 

 on termen : cilia silvery-whitish, with two cloudy dark fuscous 

 lines, sharper and blacker above apex. Hindwings light grey, 

 apex dark grey; cilia pale greyish, round apex whitish ochreous 

 with a dark fuscous line. 



Brisbane, Queensland; one specimen in Mr. Lower's collection. 



11. Dectobathra, n.g. 



Antennoe |, in ^ serrulate, simple or ciliated, sometimes with 

 abrupt suprabasal notch, basal joint elongate, without pecten. 

 Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint much thickened with 

 appressed scales, slightly rough beneath, terminal joint shorter, 

 acute. Forewings : 2 and 3 separate, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex. 

 Hindwings 1, trapezoidal, apex obtuse, termen emarginate, cilia 

 4-1 1; 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximated to 4, 6 and 7 somewhat 

 approximated or stalked. 



Type D. choristis. The three species here described present 

 some structural variation, but are evidently allied, and it seems 

 unnecessary to separate them generically. This and the two pre- 

 ceding genera form a small endemic group whose affinity with 

 other forms is somewhat obscure; at present I consider them as 

 perhaps derived froixi a form correlated with Chaliniastis. Imago 

 with forewings elongate, apex obtuse.
