REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, IV.

( Continued from Proceedings, 1906, xxxi., p.7i6?. j 

 Fam. GEOMETRID^. 



Subfam. HYDRIOMENINiE. 



During the few months since the publication of my last 

 instalment (These Proceedings, 1906, p. 682) five new species have 

 come into my hands, increasing the total to 168. On a moderate 

 computation there should be 200 species of this family in 

 Australia, and I hope to live to see this number exceeded.
