of the Australian PyraUdina. 443 



specialised development of the group of Notarcha and 

 Molyhdantha . 



Lonchodes mannalis, Walk. 



Botys mannusalis, Walk., 726. 



I saw the types of this species in the British Museum; 

 I did not examine them, but the species appeared to 

 belong to this genus, and to be distinct from the 

 following. 



Lonchodes ceramochra, n. s. 

 c?, 24 — 25 mm. Head, palpi, anteimoe, thorax, abdomen, and 

 legs pale ochreoiis ; palpi suffused with fuscous. Fore wings 

 elongate-triangular, narrow towards base, costa moderately arched 

 on posterior half, apex rounded, hind margin rounded, rather 

 strongly oblique ; rather light ochreous, slightly irrorated with 

 fuscous ; extreme costal edge fuscous, costa suffused with fuscous 

 towards base ; a cloudy dark fuscous dot beneath costa at one-fifth, 

 and another at one-third ; a small quadi-ate spot unevenly outlined 

 with dark fuscous in disc above and slightly before middle ; a 

 slender sharply dentate dark fuscous line from two-thirds of costa 

 to beyond middle of inner margin, irregularly curved outwards, 

 below middle sending a sharp tooth inwards to below discal spot ; 

 an irregular dark fuscous hind marginal line ; cilia grey-whitish, 

 with a dark fuscous line near base. Hind wings with groiuid 

 colour, discal spot, posterior and hind marginal lines, and cilia, as 

 in fore wings. 



Duaringa, Queensland ; two specimens received from 

 Mr. G. Barnard. 



Hydriris, n. g. 

 Forehead tolerably flat, oblique ; ocelli present ; tongue well- 

 developed. Antennae five-sixths of fore wings, in male shortly 

 ciliated (^), with angularly projecting scales at joints. Labial palpi 

 moderate, arched, ascending, 2nd joint with dense broadly pro- 

 jecting scales beneath, terminal joint short, triangularly dilated 

 with scales, obliquely truncate. Maxillary palpi absent. Posterior 

 tibiae with outer spurs half inner. Abdomen elongate, in male 

 with moderate anal tuft, valves retracted. Fore wings with vein 

 10 closely approximated to 9 towards base, 11 oblique. Hind 

 wings as broad as fore wings ; veins 3, 4, 5 approximated at base, 

 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 to middle.
