?Grymno.scelis subrufata, Warr. Nov. ZooL, 1898, p. 24. 



I have examined Warren's type, but cannot be sure whether it 

 is identical with this species, of which I possess no examples. 



Meyrick gives Queensland without further locality ; Warren's 

 type is from Duaringa. Also from New Guinea and Tonga. 



Type in Coll. Meyrick. 



6. Gymnoscelis delocyma, n. sp. 



[ScAos clear, distinct Kv/xa a wave ; in allusion to the distinct 

 markings on the forewings.] 



(? 2, 12-16 mm. Head brown-whitish. Palpi dark fuscous, 

 mixed with brown-whitish. Antennae with projecting scales at 

 joints ; ciliations in male \ ; brown-whitish anuulated with 

 fuscous. Thorax brown-whitish ; posteriorly crossed by a broad 

 fuscous posterior bar. Abdomen brown-whitish. Legs dark 

 fuscous ; posterior pair ochreous-whitish. Fore wings elongate- 

 triangular ; 11 running into 12; brown-whitish, with faintly 

 indicated darker lines ; markings blackish ; a dot on costa 

 near base, followed by some whitish scales ; an inwardly 

 oblique line from costa at }^ to base of dorsum ; an 

 angulated Hue from costa at ^ to dorsum at ^, faintly marked 

 towards dorsum, preceded by an obscure whitish line ; an inter- 

 rupted angidated line from costa at ^ to dorsum at ^, followed by 

 a whitish line ; a submarginal acutely dentate whitish line, 

 immediately preceded by several blackish dots ; an interrupted 

 terminal line ; cilia, basal half brown-whitish barred with fuscous, 

 apical half grey, apices whitish. Hind wings rather narrow ; 

 colour and markings as in fore wings, but with only one basal 

 line, which is obsolete except towards inner margin ; posterior 

 line obtusely angulated, slightly concave internal to angle ; 

 subterminal line acutely dentate. G. tristrigosa, Butl., from 

 Formosa, is closely allied, but posterior line of fore wing is 

 different in form. 



Type in Coll. Turner. 



N. Q., Townsville, in November, December, and February. 

 Six specimens received from Mr. F. P. Dodd, who bred them 

 from Scypiiiphora hydrophylacea, the larvae turning over and 

 fastening down the young foliage and feeding under cover like a 

 pyrale.
