BY E. MEYRICK. 639 



Geraldton, West Australia; in October and November, common. 

 Larger and more obscure than the preceding, without red spots, 

 and with the hindwings greyer and more obsoletely marked. 



66. Deil, ochthadia, n.sp. 



(JQ. 22-24 mm. Head ochreous-brown ; with a white band 

 behind antennae, face shortly tufted. Antennal pectinations in 

 (J 10, apical J simple. Thorax pale whitish-ochreous, more 

 whitish anteriorly. Femora glabrous. Forewings with hind- 

 margin straight on upper half, rounded beneath, slightly waved ; 

 11 rising out of 9, anastomosing with 12; pale brownish-ochreous, 

 with scattered grey or dark grey strigulse ; first line represented 

 by two fuscous marks in disc ; a blackish discal dot ; second line 

 dark fuscous, sinuate, obsolete towards costa or more or less 

 throughout ; subterminal cloudy, obscurely whitish, anteriorly 

 margined rather thickly with fuscous or dark fuscous, not 

 reaching costa ; a more or less interrupted blackish hindmarginal 

 line. Hindwings with hindmargin rounded, unevenly waved ; 

 colour and markings as in forewings, but lines almost wholly 

 obsolete. 



Mount Kosciusko (2700 feet), New South Wales ; in January, 

 locally common. Differs from the two preceding by the distinctly 

 contrasted white band of the vertex ; it is also the only species in 

 which vein 11 appears to rise constantly out of 9, but this 

 character would perhaps hardly be absolute. 



18. Scardamia, Gn. 



Face with short conical scaled projection. Tongue developed. 

 Palpi moderate, ascending, with tolerably appressed scales, 

 terminal joint minute. Antennae in (J bipectinated, apex simple. 

 Thorax not crested, glabrous beneath. Abdomen shortly crested 

 towards base. Femora glabrous ; posterior tibia? in $ not dilated. 

 Forewings in g without fovea; 11 rising out of 10, anastomosing 

 with 12. Hindwings normal. 



An Indo-Malayan and African genus of very few species.
