Australia and the South Pacific. 193 



I am acquainted I have received from Queensland only, 

 and I have no reason to suppose Mr. Diggles ever 

 collected in West Australia. I do not usually notice 

 Walker's localities, but this error seemed worth marking. 



Asopia farinalis, L. 



Also from Toowoomba (2000 feet), Queensland ; Glen 

 Innes (3500 feet), New South Wales; Melbourne, 

 Victoria ; Albany and York, West Australia : from 

 October to April, and in June. 



Asopia gerontialis, Walk. 

 Authenticated fromCooktown, Queensland (coll. Lucas). 



Asopia caustica, Meyr. 



Male and female. Ranges to 20 mm. ; quite constant 

 in marking ; four specimens. 



Vitessa, Moore. 



Vitessa hemiallactis, n. s. 



I propose this name for the New Guinea species 

 previously identified by me (from the description) as 

 V. pyraliata, Walk., and described in the Trans. Ent. 

 Soc. Lond., 1886, 213. I have since seen Walker's 

 specimens, and, although very similar to mine, they 

 differ as much as the other species of this genus do 

 from one another. V. pyraliata is distinguished from 

 V. hemiallactis by having all the white markings very 

 much reduced, and in particular by having the ante- 

 median white band of fore wings replaced by one or two 

 small spots only. 



Anemosa, Walk. 



Forehead with a very long horny narrow flattened projection. 

 Ocelli present. Tongue well- developed. Antennas in male mode- 

 rately bipectinated, becoming filiform and ciliated towards apex. 

 Labial palpi very long, straight, porrected, loosely rough-scaled 

 above and beneath, with long expansible hairs above, somewhat 

 attenuated. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Anterior tibise 

 thickened with dense hairs beneath. Fore wings with vein 1 

 furcate towards base, lower fork running perpendicularly to inner
