 posterior third yellow-wliitish. Abdomen light grey, Forewings 

 lanceolate, apex considerably produced; yellow; a thick obtuse 

 dark fuscous streak along basal fifth of costa; a fuscous apical 

 patch occupying about | of wing, anterior edge inwardly oblique 

 from costa, with two groups of blackish scales forming projections 

 above and in middle : cilia grey. Hiiidwings and cilia grey. 

 CooRG, Dibidi, 3500 feet, in June {Newcome); one specimen. 



Opogona autophyta, n. sp. 



I propose this name for the species from the Bismarck Is,, 

 described by Pagenstecher (Zoologica, xxix. 237) &s fumiceps. Fold,, 

 an undoubted error of identification ; it appears to be intermediate 

 in character between protodoxa and tristicta. 



Opogona encharacta, n. sp. 



S . 8 mm. Head and thorax dark purplish-bronzy-fuscous, 

 face and fillet silvery. Palpi whitish, externally with a dark 

 fuscous streak. Abdomen dark bronzy-fuscous, genital tuft 

 ochreous-whitish. Posterior tarsi with moderate bristles at apex 

 of joints. Fore wings lanceolate, apex acutely produced ; deep 

 purple-bronze; an irregular-triangular pale brassy-yellowish spot 

 on dorsum slightly beyond middle of wing (at origin of cilia), 

 reaching half across wing : cilia dark fuscous, Hiudwings dark 

 bronzy-fuscous ; cilia dark fuscous. 



Kanaka., Kanar, in March {Maxwell) ; ona specimen. Very 

 near plasturga, but that species is larger, the dorsal spot more 

 regularly triangular, and the tarsal bristles much longer. 



Opogona chrysophanes, n. sp. 



J , 9 mm. Head and thorax dark purple-bronze, face pale 

 bronze. Antennae light fuscous. Abdomen dark fuscous. Fore- 

 wiugs lanceolate ; deep pui'ple : cilia rather dark fuscous. Hind- 

 wings shining goldeu-bronzy-orange, posteriorly infuscated; cilia

QuEKNSLAND, Caims, in October (Dodd) ; one specimen. 



Opogona impotens, n. sp. 

 $. 18 mm. Head and thorax dark purple-fuscous, face and 

 fillet pale shining bronzy-ochreous. Palpi and abdomen fuscous. 

 Posterior tibite with short unexpanded bristles at apex of joints. 

 Forewings narrow-lanceolate, apex acutely produced ; dark purple- 

 bronzy-fuscous : cilia dark fuscous. Hindwings dark bronzy- 

 fuscous ; cilia rather dark fuscous. 



CooRG, Dibidi, 3500 feet, in May (Neivco^ne) ; one specimen. 

 Extremely similar to percnodes, except for much larger size 

 (perhaps the largest species of the genus), but distinct from it by 

 the short unexpanded bristles of the posterior tarsi, which in
