206 STUDIES IN AUSTRALIAN MICRO!. EPIDOPTERA, 



IMMA PLATYXANTHA, n. sp. [7rA.aTi'£ai/0os, broadly yellow]. 



g. 20 mm. Head yellow-ochreous. Palpi yellow-ochreous, 

 anteriorly fuscous. Antennae yellow-ochreous; ciliations in £ §. 

 Thorax pale ochreous-fuscous, with a yellow-ochreous central spot. 

 Abdomen fuscous; beneath ochreous- whitish. Forewings dilated 

 posteriorly, costa gently arched, apex rectangular, termen gently 

 bowed, scarcely oblique; pale fuscous, with large yellow-ochreous 

 blotches; a small subcostal basal spot; a large squarish blotch on 

 costa near base, nearly touching a smaller spot on \ dorsum; a 

 second rounded spot on costa before middle, nearly touching a 

 large squarish blotch on mid-dorsum; a spot on costa at §; a 

 triangular spot on costa immediately before apex; a dark fuscous 

 terminal line not extending to tornus; cilia pale fuscous. Hind- 

 wings dark fuscous; cilia fuscous, on dorsum whitish. Type in 

 Coll. Lyell. 



N.Q.: Kuranda, near Cairns, in April; one specimen, received 

 from Mr. F. P. Dodd. 



Imma ATROSIGNATA. 



Tortricomorpha atrosignata Feld., Reise Novara, PI. 108, f.3. 

 (J. 20 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, and abdomen fus- 

 cous. Antennal ciliations in £ minute. Legs fuscous; tarsi with 

 apices of segments and under surface whitish; anterior femora 

 whitish posteriorly; anterior tibiae whitish, with two fuscous bars 

 on anterior surface, one at base, the other before apex; posterior 

 and middle tibiae in £ densely hairy beneath. Forewings dilated 

 posteriorly, costa almost straight, apex 'round-pointetfc, termen 

 bowed, oblique; 7 and 8 stalked, 8 to termen; fuscous; a slightly 

 darker crescentic mark at end of cell; cilia fuscous. Hindwings 

 fuscous-grey; towards base and dorsum thinly scaled and trans- 

 lucent; an elongate wedge-shaped deep black mark on either side 

 of antemedian vein from base to near, but not touching termen; 

 cilia pale grey, with a darker basal line. 



Conspicuously distinct by the black brand on hindwings. Felder's 

 figure is poor, but I do not think there can be much doubt as to the 

 identification.
