16. Chlokoclystis cissocosma, n. sp. 

 \^KL(j(TOKO(Tixo<;, with ivy-green ornamentation]. 



(? ?, 16-18 mm. Head green mixed with white. Palpi dark 

 fuscous mixed with whitish. Antennae grey ; in c? with a short 

 rounded process from upper surface of basal joint, ciliations 

 minute (i). Thorax green mixed with whitish and fuscous. 

 Abdomen whitish mixed with ferruginous, dark fuscous, and 

 green. Legs whitish ; anterior pair fuscous, tibiae and tarsi 

 annulated with whitish ; posterior tibiae with outer distal spur 

 short, inner long, in <? very long and thickened, outer proximal 

 spur absent. Fore wings elongate-triangular, costa in 3' abruptly 

 bent near base, in ? gently arched, termen bowed, oblique ; 

 green with fine white lines and fuscous blotches and suffusion ; 

 a broad median band partly suffused with fuscous, and followed 

 by two line white lines, posterior edge arched outwards and 

 twice obtusely angled ; a fine white dentate subterminal line 

 preceded by three dark fuscous blotches on costa and above and 

 below middle ; a dark fuscous terminal line, narrowly interrupted 

 by white on veins ; cilia grey, narrowly interrupted by white 

 opposite veins. Hind wings rather narrow, tei-men rounded, 

 slightly indented at J from costa ; colour and markings as fore 

 wings, but subterminal fuscous blotches less developed. 



This species would be referable to Warren's genus Megatheca, 

 which I think is not to be regarded as a distinct genus, the de- 

 velopment of the proximal spurs of hind tibiae being variable in 

 allied species, the outer spur tending to obsolescence. Compare 

 with the following species. 



Type in Coll. Turner. 



Q., Brisbane, from May to August ; four specimens.

 grey ; in <? with a thick ridge of dark grey hairs on middle half 

 of upper edge, ciliations minute [\). Thorax and abdomen

 tarsal annulations and posterior pair whitish ; posterior tibiae
