suffusion. Forewings triangular, costa nearly straight except 

 close to base and apex, apex rounded-rectangular, termen moder- 

 ately oblique, strongly bowed and prominent on veins 3 and 4, 

 crenulate; ochreous-brown finely strigulated with darker brown; 

 lines brown; a slender antemedian line from J costa to J dorsum; 

 a minute white median discal dot; a slender postmedian line from 

 § costa towards tornus, bent sharply inwards in mid-disc, and 

 then curved outwards to | dorsum; a terminal series of minute 

 fuscous dots between veins; cilia pale brown. Hindwings with 

 termen rounded, crenulate; as forewings, but antemedian line 

 obsolete, and postmedian line angled in middle. Underside pale 

 ochreous with suffused subterminal and terminal pale crimson 

 fasciae, more or less developed. 



Type in Coll. Turner. 



N.Q. : Cairns, Kuranda, in December; Townsville ; three 

 specimens.

Face smooth. Tongue well developed. Palpi moderate, 

 ascending, terminal joint short. Antennae of $ with a double 

 row of pectinations, apical J simple. Posterior tibiae with two 

 pairs of spurs in both sexes; posterior femora and sometimes also 

 tibiae in ^ with long tufts of hairs. Forewings with apex acute; 

 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked, areole single, 11 anastomosing with 8 + 9 

 beyond 7. Hindwings with termen angled; 3 and 4 stalked, 5 

 from somewhat above middle of cell, 6 and 7 stalked. 



I regard the long-stalking of vein 11 as the most important 

 characteristic of this genus. The same occurs in the European 

 genus Ephyra Dup. = Leucophthalmia Hb. Calothysanis Hb. = 

 Timandra Dup., to which Mr. Meyrick and Sir Geo. Hampson 

 refer the species, differs essentially in vein 11 not anastomosing, 

 but connected by a short bar with 8 + 9 opposite 7; at least this 

 is so in specimens of C. amata which I have examined. 



Type G. aveyitiaria. 



Forewings with termen angulated aventiaria. 



Forewings with termen showing a rounded prominence only... mundissinia.
