66G REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



wings in <J without fovea; 10 out of 9, 11 anastomosing or 

 connected with 12 and 10. Hindwings with veins 3 and 4 often 

 from a point. 



Contains only the following ; a stout and heavily built insect. 



95. Stath. beggaria, Gn. 



(Chlenias beggaria, Gn. X, 238, pi. xiv, 2 ; ? C. porphyrinaria, 

 ib. 237.) 



<££. 50-57 mm. Antennal pectinations of $ 4. Forewings 

 suboblong, apex slightly prominent, hiudmargin rather strongly 

 bowed, waved, surface in £ slightly wrinkled transversely ; 

 fuscous, irrorated with darker fuscous between veins ; veins 

 sometimes slightly reddish-tinged ; a small ill-defined cloudy dark 

 fuscous discal spot. Hindwings with hindmargin unevenly 

 rounded, waved ; whitish-fuscous, in $ more whitish, especially 

 towards costa and base ; sometimes a dark grey transverse discal 

 mark ; a broad suffused rather dark fuscous hindmarginal band, 

 narrowed towards anal angle. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; Warragul, Victoria ; Mount Lofty, 

 South Australia ; in May, six specimens, usually taken at rest on 

 tree-trunks or fences. I have not seen a specimen which would 

 agree with the description of porphyrinaria, and am still uncertain 

 whether this name represents a local form or distinct species. 



30. Conosara, n.g. 



Face with conical projection of scales. Tongue developed. 

 Palpi long, porrected, rough-scaled, terminal joint moderate. 

 Antennae in $ bipectinated to apex. Thorax with double crest 

 at posterior extremity, beneath hairy. Femora hairy beneath ; 

 posterior tibiae in <J rather dilated. Forewings in £ without 

 fovea; 10 out of 9 near base. Hindwings normal. 



Endemic ; a development of Chlenias. 



96. Con. castanea, n.sp. 



£. 36 mm. Antennal pectinations 5. Forewings elongate- 

 triangular, hindmargin bowed ; rather light reddish-ochreous-
