620 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



9 by a darker suffusion between middle and apex ; a hindmarginal 

 row of round black dots, sometimes connected with two or three 

 short black longitudinal streaks on veins. Hind wings with hind- 

 margin rounded, waved; colour and markings as in forewings, 

 but first line absent, median shade well-marked, more or less 

 thick, blackish, discal spot more distinctly white, black-margined, 

 second line curved outwards on upper §, often more strongly 

 marked, subterminal without dark marginal suffusions above 

 middle, but sometimes margined anteriorly with a blackish suffu- 

 sion towards lower extremity. 



Brisbane, Queensland ; one specimen received from Dr. Lucas ; 

 also sent commonly from New Guinea. Differs from the two 

 preceding by its large size, hindmargin of hind wings waved but 

 not dentate, and longer simple portion of antennae in $, as well 

 as by its dull colouring, and reduction of frontal bar to a lateral 

 mark. 



9. Lophodes, Gn. 



Face with tolerably appressed scales. Tongue developed. Palpi 

 rather short, porrected, with projecting scales, terminal joint very 

 short. Antennae in £ very strongly bipectinated, apex simple. 

 Thorax without crest, densely hairy beneath. Femora hairy 

 beneath ; posterior tibiae in $ not dilated. Forewings in $ with 

 small fovea; 11 separate or from a point with 10 (or probably 

 sometimes stalked) or absent. Hindwings normal. 



Includes only the following species, which is nearly related to 

 the preceding genus. 



43. Loph. sinistraria^ Gn. 



(Lophodes sinistraria, Gn. IX, "212, pi. x, 5.) 



<J. 38-45 mm., Q 54-62 mm. Head and thorax blackish or 

 partly deep ferruginous, anterior margin of thorax ochreous- whitish. 

 Antennal pectinations of $ 18, apical -^ simple. Forewings in 9 

 elongate, hindmargin in £ somewhat rounded, waved, in £ more 

 oblique, rounded-dentate, tooth on vein 5 nearly obsolete, so that 

 there is a deep emargination between 4 and 6 ; rather deep ferru- 

 ginous-ochreous, in £ sometimes towards costa and lower part of
