(? with fore wing distorted at tornus, being incised immediately 

 above tornus, with a fringe of dense hair on lower margin of 

 incision, and with a fovea containing a curved tuft of hair imme- 

 diately beneath tornus ; hind wings much distorted, veins 3 and 

 6 aljsent, base of inner margin turned over to form a vesicle, 

 surmounted by a membranous lid, mid-termen incised and several 

 times folded, forming a deep fovea containing dark hair on under 

 side ; abdomen with a pair of lateral pencil-like tufts near base ; 

 posterior tibiae with an outer tuft of hair at extremity. 



Var. vetustata, from Brisbane. All green markings absent 

 from head, body and fore wings, being replaced by grey, with 

 dark fuscous lines on fore wings. This variety is so different in 

 appearance that I should have regarded it as a distinct species if 

 it were not that the secondary 3' characters appear to agree 

 accurately with the type form. 



Swinhoe (Tr.E.S., 1902, p. 653) gives also Remodes angulosa, 

 Warr (Nov. Zool., 1896, p. 382), and Remodes cirrhigera, Warr 

 (Nov. Zool., 1897, p. 395), as synonyms.
