Drepanopteryx humilis. (PI. Ixxiv., fig.8). 



MacLachlan, Journ. Ent. Lond., ii., p. 116(1866). 



Of this species, known from Australia and New Zealand, 

 one specimen (sex indeterminable) in Coll. Froggatt; Victoria, 

 20.i.l905(W. W. Froggatt leg.). 



In the markings of the forewing, the specimen does not 

 exactly agree with the description of MacLachlan ; the white 

 spots along the posterior margin are very indistinct, but the 

 number of crossveins in the gradate series is the same as stated 

 by him. 



Drep. humilis differs from the genotype, Drep. phalcenoides L., 

 in having much fewer radial sectors.

 Coll. Froggatt. 



In this genus, we have three rows of gradate veins in the 

 forewings, which are acute ; four radial sectors ; media con- 

 nected with cubitus by crossveins. Only the above-named 

 species is known in the genus.
