680 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, IV., 



a suffused yellow central spot; a subapical fuscous suffusion from 

 costa to vein 3; termen suffused with yellow; cilia yellow, inter- 

 rupted by a crimson bar at mid-termen. Hind wings oblong, 

 termen strongl}^ produced to form an obtuse angle; deep crimson; 

 a suffused yellow spot at J; a broad fuscous postmedian band; 

 termen and cilia as forewings. Underside similar without 

 fuscous suffusions and less vivid. 



This beautiful species is a true Chrysocraspeda, having 7, 8, 9, 

 10, 11 of forewings stalked. 



Type in Coll. Rothschild. 



N.Q.: Oooktown, Kuranda, in July; one specimen (F. P. Dodd). 



Gen. 13. Ptochophyle. 



Ptochophyle Warr,, Nov. Zool. 1896, p.293. 



Face smooth. Tongue well developed . Palpi short, slender, 

 ascending; terminal joint minute. Antennse in $ with a double 

 row of long pectinations, apical ^ simple. Posterior tibiae with 

 all spurs present in both sexes. Forewings with 7, 8, 9, 10 

 stalked, 11 anastomosing very shortly with their common stalk 

 well before origin of 7. Hindwings with 5 from slightly above 

 middle of cell, 6 and 7 stalked. 



This o^enus is not to be confused with the European Leiicoph- 

 thahnia Hb., {Ephyra Dup.), which is more closely allied to 

 Gnamjytoloma by the neuration. I cannot be quite sure that the 

 genus here described is that to which Mr. Warren gave the name 

 Ptochophyle, but it appears probable. 



Type P. notata Warr., from the Louisiades. 



81. Ptochophyle cyphosticha,* n.sp.

 pectinations in $ very long (10). Thorax and abdomen pale 

 reddish-brown; sides of abdomen ochreous-whitish. Legswhitish- 

 ochreous; anterior and middle pairs with some pale crimson 



KV<poaTixos, with bent line.
