 dark grey spot at the end of each cell, fore-"\ving Avith the interior

 wings and is slightly sinuous and more or less diffused inwards, and 

 contains some spots on its outer margin ; the outer margin of both 

 wings is broadly rather darker than the otherwise uniform colour 

 of the wings, the margin has black points, the cilia is concolorous.

It is nearest to N. henecristata, Warr., Nov. Zool., ii, 

 p. 83, from Thursday Island in B. M., but the discal band 

 of fore-wings is more erect and lacks the thick black 

 streak, on the hind-wings the band is discal not medial. 



Taxeotis inconcisata. 



Panagra inconcisata, Walker, xxiii, 1003 (1861). 



Taxeotis clelogramma, Meyrick, Proc. Linn. Soc, N.S.W., 



1890, p. 1146. 

 Taxeotis semifitsca, Warr., Nov. Zool., vi, p. 324 (1899). 



Type, Australia in B. M. 



Type (dclogrammcc), Queensland in Mus. Melbourne. 



Type {semifitsca'^), Queensland in coll. Rothschild. 



A very variable insect : Meyrick says abundant every- 

 where in Australia. 



Adeixis inostentata. 



Panagra inostentata. Walker, xxiii, 1012 (1861). 

 Adeixis insiynata, Warr., Nov. Zool., iv, p. 27 (1897). 



Type, Moreton Bay in B. M. 



Types {insignata $ $), Parkside in coll. Rothschild. 



In Proc. Linn. Soc, N.S.W., 1890, p. 1214, Meyrick 

 sa.ys inostentata is a Nocttiid: but this is a mistake, and 

 the note Mr. Meyrick carried with him to Australia must 

 have got mixed, because the type of inostentata is in the 

 B. M. and is a true Monoetenid.
