Type in Coll. Tiu-ner. 



N. Q., Townsville, in December and February ; six specimens 

 received from Mr. F. P. Dodd. 



Genus 3. Chlopoclystis. 



Chloroclystis, Hb. Verz., 323. 



Face with short cone of scales. Palpi moderate, porrected, 

 rough-scaled. Antennae in c? shortly ciliated, fasciculate-ciliated 

 or naked. Thorax glabrous beneath. Abdomen crested. Pos- 

 terior tibiae with all spurs present, or rarely with only a single 

 proximal and two distal spurs. Fore wings with areole simple, 

 11 running into or anastomosing with 12. Hind wings with 8 

 anastomosing with cell from near base to beyond middle. 



Type. — Chloroclystis coronata, Hb., from Europe. 



This is probably a large genus, although there ai'e but few 

 European species. Pasiphila, Meyr., is a synonym. Phrisso- 

 gonus, Butl., is here included, although Mr. Meyrick has regarded 

 it as distinct. The secondary sexual characters of the 3' do not 

 appear to me here of generic value, as they are different in each 

 species. 



The species are small and inconspicuous, and are difficult to 

 tabulate. The males of the first section are often very different 

 from the females, and are most easily recognised by their 

 secondary sexual characters. 



Theie are no doubt many yet unrecognised species in the 

 northern parts of Australia.

fuscous ------- 2
