 Heterochasta lasioplaca, Low. P.L.S. N.S.W., 1897, p. 14. 



I have taken one ? specimen settled on the trunk of Ficus 

 niacrophylla. It precisely corresponds to the type which is a ?, 

 though described as 3" . In the absence of the 3' the generic

 ciliated. Palpi moderate, porrected, loosely-scaled. Posterior 

 tibiae with all spurs present. Fore wings with areole double. 

 Hind wings in 3 with vein 6 absent (coincident with 7), in $ 6
