becoming bronzy towards the ontei* margin ; a broad paler band crossing the basal 

 half of the wing from the costal vein to the inner margin ; this band is excavated on 

 both sides (or gi-adually constricted) upon the interno-median area, it is followed by 

 a broad ill-defined externally dentated dark brown belt, most clearly defined towards 

 the inner margin ; an irregular discal series of black spots from the costa to the 

 second median branch, white- speckled towards the costa ; fringe pale reddish-brown, 

 intersected internally by two almost confluent dark grey parallel lines ; secondaries 

 smoky-brown with a faint lilacine shot ; fringe whity-brown, with two internal lines 

 as in the primaries, the outer line double the width of the inner : palpi pale reddish- 

 brown ; head whity-brown ; collar and thorax pale reddish-brown ; abdomen smoky- 

 brown ; primaries below pale grey, shot with opaline ; the discoidal cell brownish ; 

 costal border sandy -yellowish, mottled with black ; secondaries sordid whitish with 

 a lilacine gloss, densely mottled with grey ; fringes of all the wings whitish, spotted 

 with grey at the termination of the veins, and with traces of the double lines of the 

 upper surface ; body below whity-brown : expanse of wings, 1 inch 1 line. 



Two examples. 



Hypena insignis, n. sp. (No. 14). 



Wings above pale grey, with a feeble lilacine gloss ; primaries with a spot at 

 the end of the cell, a broad sub-quadrate slightly-constricted belt from the external 

 half of the median vein to the inner margin, and a series of discal spots, black-brown : 

 body pale brown : wings below whitish with feeble grey mottlings ; body below 

 whitish, legs pale testaceous : expanse of wings, 1 inch. 



One example. 



Mr. Blackburn seems to liave regarded this as a variety of the 

 preceding, but it is so extremely different in coloration and even in 

 the position of the markings, that I cannot believe them to be 

 the same. 



Family HERMINIDiE. 



Heeminia ciENEUSALis, Walker (No. 53). 



This species was originally described, from an example taken at 

 Moreton Bay, as a Sophronia ? ; it is allied to H. nemoralis : two 

 specimens were sent home. 



Family BOTIDID^. 

 BoTTs Blackbueni, n. sp. (No. 32). 



Primaries testaceous, crossed in the middle by two widely-separated strongly- 

 angulated greyish-brown lines which diverge towards the costa, the angle of the inner 

 one upon the median vein, that of the outer one on the first median interspace, the 

 band enclosed by these two lines margined on each side by a diffused sandy-whitish 

 line ; outer margin dotted with black ; secondaries pale greyislvbrown ; discocellulars 

 dusky; a dusky angulated line beyond the middle, nearly straight from the first 

 sub-costal branch to the second median, then abruptly inarched and running to near 

 the' extremity of the sub-median vein ; disc wSitish, slightly tinted with reddish
