Australian Lepidoptera. 225 



whitish. Thorax whitish ; a blackish ti'ansverse bar across 

 middle of patagia. Abdomen ochrec^us-whitish, mixed with 

 fuscous ; tuft in <^ large, white. Legs whitish ; anterior 

 pair mixed with fuscous ; in c? anterior femora are clothed 

 with long whitish hairs beneath, anterior tibiae with a large 

 tuft of grey hairs at base, directed backwards, middle and 

 posterior tibiae with dense apical tufts of dark leaden-grey 

 hairs. Fore wings elongate, triangular, costa slightly arched, 

 apex round-pointed, termen scarcely rounded, oblique; 11 

 anastomosing with 12 ; whitisli, with reddish-brown irroration 

 more maiked in $, rarely greenish tinged; a few scattered 

 black scales ; several suffused basal lines best marked on costa ; 

 antemedian line sharply defined posteriorly, from ^ costa to I- 

 dorsum, with a rounded angle above middle ; median line faintly 

 indicated ; postmediau line sharply defined posteriorly from 

 f costa to |- dorsum, once or twice acutely dentate ; an acutely 

 dentate whitish subterminai line ; an interrupted fuscous 

 terminal line; cilia wliitish. Hind wings with termen rounded; 

 colour and markings as in fore wings, but antemedian line not 

 angled, postmedian line darker, and subterminai line indistinct 

 not dentate. 



The <^ of this species is readily recognised by its tufted tibiae. 

 In this it agrees with tibialis, Moore, from India, the type of 

 Moore's genus Iramba, but I do not consider these tufts to be of 

 generic value. 



Type in Coll. Turner.

 Seven specimens leceived from Mr. F. P. Dodd, who has found

Gymnoscelis coquina, Warr. Nov. Zool, 1897, p. 69. 

 I have seen the types of this apparently very distinct species 

 in Coll. Rothschild.
