440 Mr. E. Meyrick oh the classification 



rounded, hind margin rounded, rather obhque ; veins 4 and 6 

 stalked ; lower surface with a membranous scaled ridge above vein 

 6 extending from one-third of length to near two-thirds ; fuscous, 

 densely irrorated with black, and with a few fine scattered whitish 

 scales ; a very indistinct row of whitish dots in disc at three- 

 fourths parallel to hind margin, and a hind marginal row of 

 whitish dots ; cilia grey, towards base dark grey. Hind wings 

 grey-whitish, posteriorly more or less broadly suffused with grey, 

 hind marginal edge dark grey ; cilia grey-whitish, becoming dark 

 grey towards base ; veins 4 and 5 from a point, 7 and 8 sometimes 

 joined at a point. 



Immediately distinguished from the other species of 

 the genus by the structural differences. In this species 

 veins 7 and 8 of the hind wings occur either free or 

 united at a point, a rare form of variability. In view of 

 this inconstancy, I think Cacozclia may be held to in- 

 clude all the species of the family which possess the 

 long maxillary pencil of hairs in the male. The 

 glandular costal swelling of this species (similar to that 

 found in some species of Balanotis) and membranous 

 discal ridge are probably restricted to the male. 



Mount Kosciusko (4000 feet), New South Wales; 

 Hobart, Tasmania ; three specimens in January and 

 February.

Balanotis carinentaUs, Walk. 



Having obtained specimens for examination, I find 

 that the species has well-developed maxillary palpi and 

 ocelli, both of which are erroneously stated by Lederer 

 to be absent ; the genus Gardamyla, founded on this 

 species and supposed by Lederer (Walker's characters 

 being useless) to be distinguished by this deficiency, 

 must therefore cease to have any existence. In this 

 species the antennae of male are very shortly ciliated 

 (one-fifth) ; veins 4 and 5 are separate in fore wings and 

 hind wings ; vein 6 of fore wings rises from a point with 

 stalk of 8 and 9 ; the costa of fore wings has no 

 glandular swelling ; all other characters quite as in 

 Balaiiutis.
