side obscurely reproduced ; a large black apical spot. Hindwings 

 white, with a large blackish apical spot and a small blackish spot 

 on hind margin near anal angle. 



Broken Hill, N.S.W.; one specimen at light, in May. 



Amelora paronycha, n.sp. 



2 40 mm. Head and face dull ochreous, forehead with a 

 prominent broad scoop-like horny projection. Thorax grey, 

 anteriorly dull ochreous, patagia dull ochreous. Abdomen 

 ochreous-white. Antenna' ochreous. Legs ochreous, coxae white. 

 Forewings elongate-triangular, apex round-pointed, hindmargin 

 bowed; silvery-white, with light fuscous markings; a thick streak 

 along costa from base to apex", emitting from its lower edge at J 

 a thick furcate streak, upper fork terminating on middle of hind- 

 margin, lower on hindmargin above anal angle; a strong thick 

 oblique streak from lower edge of costal streak at £■ to hindmargin 

 immediately above termination of upper fork of furcate streak; 

 a thick streak along inner margin to anal angle : cilia ochreous, 

 (imperfect). Hindwings with hindmargin rounded, faintly waved; 

 white, somewhat tinged with light greyish-ochreous; a moderate 

 blackish subapical spot, indented in middle, and continued very 

 narrowly as a hindmarginal streak to anal angle. Undersurface 

 white; hindwings with a moderate black subapical blotch. 



Broken Hill, N.8.W. ; one specimen at light, in May. 



Recalls Thalaina Clara, Walk., in general appearance and 

 markings ; it may ultimately prove to be the $ of tetracladd, 

 although I must admit that I have no justifiable ground for con- 

 sidering it so, as I know of no species (and I possess the whole 

 of the known species of both Thalaina and Amelora) in which 

 the sexes differ to such an extent. The present and the preced- 

 ing species form a valuable connecting link between the two 

 above-mentioned genera, and at first sight either of them could 

 very easily be mistaken for species of Thalaina, but the bipecti- 

 nated antenna of the £, and the curious frontal projection of the 

 head unquestionably refer them to Amelora, their nearest ally 

 being leucaniata, G'n.
