Otonoma sophronica, n. gp. 



(S . 10 mm. Head, thorax dark fuscous, slightly mixed whitish. 

 Palpi whitish, second joint with two, terminal joint three dark

 oblique transverse white spots from costa at \, middle, |, and near 

 apex ; a small indistinctly doulde white siiot in disc beneath apex 

 of first costal spot, and a transverse mark in disc between second

 teimen opposite fourth costal spot ; some white scales at apex : 

 cilia light grey, suffused whitish on white markings, round apex 

 with a blackish median line, and mixed dark fuscous towards base. 

 Hindwings light grey ; a long expansible whitish hairpencil from 

 base lying beneath forewings ; cilia light greyish. 



Queensland, Brisbane, October (Do(?rf) ; one specimen. Type in 

 Wals. Coll. (23936). This is a true Otonoma, witli the antennal 

 notch and hairpencil of hindwings characteristic of all the species; 

 all veins of forewdngs are however present; in the other species 

 one vein is absent, which I had assumed to be 6, but on recon- 

 sideration 1 think this erroneous, the missing vein being probably 

 4, and 6 being always present and separate. The present species 

 is therefore presumably an early form of the genus.
