112 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALASIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTKRA, XIX., 



wings dark fuscous; longitudinal median and submedian streaks 

 of orange suifusion from base to J, more or less expanded at 

 posterior extremity; sometimes a suffused orange streak along 

 lower half of termen; cilia as in forewings. 



Cairns, Queensland (Barnard); Woodlark Island (Meek); two 

 specimens. Attention may be directed to the good specific 

 characters furnished in this genus b}'- the posterior tarsi, which 

 are often distinctively decorated. In order to understand the 

 complex markings of the forewings it is necessary to assume the 

 blackish tint to be the ground, even when, as in the present 

 species, the orange occupies the greater portion of the wings. 



208. 6'. sycopola Meyr. 



[Simaethis sycopola Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, 1880, 

 211.) 



Brisbane, Queensland; Sydney, New South Wales; from JNIarch 

 to May. Larva in folded leaves of Ficus stijoidata. 



2 09. aS'. reguJaris Pag. 

 (Simaethis regular is Pag., JB. Nass. Ver. 1884, 288.) 

 Amboina. This and some other of Pagenstecher's species are 



in my judgment too loosely described to be identified, and I 



cannot determine them. 



210. S. sessilis Pag. 



(Simaethis sessilis Pag., JB. Nass. Ver. 1886, 179.) 

 New Guinea. Not known to me. 



211. S. parva Pag. 



(Simaethis parva Pag., JB. Nass. Ver. 1884, 288.) 

 Amboina. Not known to me. S. taprobanes Z., is also quoted 

 by Pagenstecher from Amboina and Aru; it is a well-known 

 Ceylon species, and it seems more probable that the identification 

 was mistaken.
