444 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



Hydriris chalyhitis, n. s. 

 ^ , 5 , 16 — 17 mm. Head, thorax, and abdomen pale ochreous, 

 somewhat mixed with dark fuscous. Palpi dark fuscous, towards 

 base whitish. Antennae pale ochreous. Legs whitish ochreous, 

 anterior pair suffused with fuscous. Fore wings elongate-triangular, 

 narrow towards base, costa moderately arched on posterior half, 

 apex obtuse, hind margin rounded, rather strongly oblique ; light 

 ochreovis, irregularly irrorated with fuscous and dark fuscous, 

 between first and second lines clearer and more whitish ochreous 

 except towards costa ; base mixed with black and leaden-metallic 

 scales ; first line from one-fourth of costa to one-fourth of inner 

 margin, indistinct, dark fuscous, irregularly curved outwards ; 

 these discal spots and second line leaden metallic, dark-margined ; 

 first spot round, beneath costa before middle ; second similar, on 

 submedian fold obliquely before first ; third 8-shaped, beyond 

 middle ; second line from two-thirds of costa to two-thirds of 

 inner margin, slightly irregular, moderately curved outwards ; an 

 oblique apical streak and apical portion of costa and hind margin 

 suffused with rather dark fuscous ; cilia pale ochreous, base fuscous. 

 Hind wings pale ochreous, somewhat mixed with fuscoiis, becoming 

 clearer and more whitish ochreous towards base ; a rather thick 

 blackish transverse line very near base, not reaching costa ; a dark 

 fuscous dot below costa at one-third, and a blackish sometimes 

 metallic-centred median dot ; second line as in fore wings, but 

 indistinct ; cilia as in fore wings. 



Duaringa, Queensland ; several specimens received 

 from Mr, G. Barnard ; also occurs in Tonga and the 

 New Hebrides. 



GoDARA, Walk. 



My specimens are all females, and I cannot therefore 

 yet give the full characters of this genus ; but if separable 

 from Orohena, Gn. (which I doubt), it must be by the 

 costal tuft and hairs of the middle legs in the male, 

 since the stalking of veins 4 and 5 in the hind wings is 

 not constant, some specimens having them separate, 

 and others stalked, with intermediate gradations. 



Godara comalis, Gu. 



Pionea incomalis, Gn., 3G9, is, I have no doubt, only 

 the female of this species ; it varies considerably, the 

 varieties which I have (all from the same place) covering
