gate, rather broad, slightly dilated posteiiurly, costa gently aiched,

 North Australia, Port Darwin {Uodd) ; one specimen. 



Ardiosteres iacerata, n. sp. 



I propose this name for the species described by me as moretonella 

 Walk. (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, 1892, 519), which 1 believe I 

 wrongly identified; Walker describes his specimens as having four 

 yellow fasciae, and the cilia of hindwings yellow, characters which 

 do not apply to any of the forms of tliis species. His species is 

 from the Brisbane district, mine from Bathurst and Duaringa. The 

 two very similar yet quite distinct species described above indicate 

 the probability of others ; these three differ in neuration and 

 antenual structure.
