hindwings, 1 1 crossveins before origin of radial sector. Cubital

Southern Cross, W. Australia; one male (type), 1912, W. W. 

 Froggatt (Coll. Froggatt) — Broken Hil], N.S.W.; one male (Coll.

ACANTHACLISIS MACLACHLANI. 



v.d. Weele, Notes Leyd. Mus., xiv., p.210(1904). 



I have seen two males of this species, one from Bernier Is., 

 N. W. Austra]ia,(W. W. Froggatt leg.) and one from Port Dar- 

 win (Dodd leg.). In one specimen, the membrane of the wings 

 is almost quite hyaline, and the veins indistinctly shaded with 

 brown; in the other specimen, tlie membrane of the forewings 

 gets a brownish-black aspect from the broadly marginated veins. 

 Thorax and abdomen are blackish-brown. Mesoscutellum with 

 two small, but distinct yellowish spots Abdominal segments 

 above with narrowly yellowish hind margin. In the hindwing, 

 16-17 crossveins before origin of radial sector. Cubital area in 

 forewing with two rows of cellules in its middle part. 



Type in Mus. Leyden. 



AcANTHACLisis SUBFASCIATA. (Plate xiii., fig. 27.) 

 Banks, Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., xv., p. 141 (1913). 

 This species is easily recognised by its banded forewings. The 

 intercubital area in forewings acutely angulated basally; the 

 cubital area narrow and long, with one row of cellules. 



I have seen one specimen from North Queensland (Dodd leg.). 



ACANTHACLISIS FULVA. 



Esben-Petersen, Ent. Mitt., i., p.269(1912). 



No doubt this species is the largest in the genus, the forewing 

 measuring 72 mm., and the hindwing 69 mm. 



Nervures reddish-yellow, and black-banded. Eight to eleven 

 crossveins at the base of costal area of forewing, simple. In 

 hindwing, 8 crossveins before origin of radial sector. Cubital 

 area in forewing with two irregular rows of cellules. Cu^ and 

 Cua wide apart. 



Type from North Queensland (Coll. Esb. -Petersen).
