CECOPHORID^. 273 



tibio3 clothed with dense hairs. Forewinga with 2 and 3 stalked 

 from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 8 to apex, 11 from middle. Hind- 

 wings 1, trapezoidal-ovate, cilia | ; 3 and 4 stalked, 5-7 parallel, 

 7 to apex. 



I am obliged to describe this genus, since Dr. Turner does not 

 propose to do so at present, as I had expected, and I have already 

 attributed a species to it, Q. minyra Meyr., which becomes the 

 type ; I have another undeseribed species from Queensland. 



Philobota physaula, n. sp. 



Philohata agnesella Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. ]^.S. Wales, 1883, 

 493 (nee Newra.) 



Victoria, Melbourne ; South Australia, Mount Lofty range ; five 

 specimens, sufficiently described ; the true cujnesella Newm., with 

 which I was not at that time acquainted, is accurately described by 

 Newman, and has the subcostal streak very distinctly furcate 

 posteriorly, one branch running to costa and the other to apex, 

 both extended less distinctly into the cilia ; there are also some- 

 times brownish lines on some of the other veins towards termen 

 and dorsum ; I have it from Melbourne, Victoria, and Killarney, 

 Queensland.
