\ costa fore wing to \ inner margin of hind wing ; a 2nd line, 

 more sinuous, from f costa of forewing parallel with hindraargin 

 of both wings to £ inner margin hindwing. On front wing a 

 brown dot is bordered by black and a conspicuous white spot is 

 bordered by black ; on hindwing there are two brown spots. 



The 9 is slightly larger than £ and somewhat lighter. 



Dawson River (Mr. Barnard). Allied to D. magnified. The 

 cocoon is different, being as Mr. Barnard says a hanging cocoon, 

 whereas that of D. magnified is spun on to inner side of bark 

 through its whole length. 



Darala linearis, sp.nov. 



Q. 60 mm. Head, palpi, antenna?, thorax, and abdomen light 

 cinnamon-brown. Eorewings, costa slightly wavy, apex slightly 

 falcate ; hindmargin rounded, shining cinnamon-brown sparingly 

 dotted with scattered black points, and seven or eight straight trans- 

 verse smoky-brown lines and fascise ; two wavy lines at J are more 

 or less indistinct, and more or less run into each other ; a sinuous 

 line at J is well marked and contains an indistinct small black 

 •discal spot at J from costa; another line at ± and one immediately 

 beyond are distinct, but faint ; a very deep smoke-coloured band 

 at I costa to § inner margin is bordered anteriorly by narrow 

 edgiug of orange-brown, and suffused posteriorly into a deeper shade 

 of ground colour, where it forms an indistinct bounding line; a sub- 

 marginal line is faintly marked ; an indistinct black discoidal 

 spot just before band at one-third from costa : cilia cinnamon- 

 brown, darker at base. Hind wings coloured as forewings, but 

 not shiny ; a smoky line at \ indistinct, a well-marked smoke- 

 colour band at h ', a broad smoke-colour fascia or suffusion from ■} 

 to near apex of costa, narrowing to one half its expansion toward 

 inner border near anal angle ; a series of minute sub-marginal 

 black dots on veins ; cilia as forewings.
