56 AUSTRALIAN THYRIDIDAE AND PYRALIDAE 
UBIDA RAMOSTRIELLA. 
Q.. Nambour. 
UBIDA HOLOMOCHLA. 
N.Q., Thursday Island. 
Gen. DIADEXIA, nov. 
diadeevos, Of good omen. 
Frons with a pointed conical projection. Tongue 
weakly developed. Labial palpi long, drooping. Maxillary 
palpi triangularly dilated. Antennae of g¢ with a single outer 
row of pectinations, apical fourth — serrate. Forewings 
with veins 5 and 7 absent, 8 and 9 stalked, Ll free. Hindwings 
with 5 absent, 6 from upper angle of cell, 7 anastomosing 
-strongly with 8. 
In my tabulation this falls with Culladia, from which 
it is distinguished by the projecting frons, and the highly 
peculiar unipectinate antennae of the g | think, however, 
its natural affinities are rather with Chilo. 
DIADEXIA PARODES, 2. Sp. 
mapwons, reddish-brown. 
g 20 mm. Head and palpi pale ochreous-brown. 
Antennae ochreous-brown, towards apex fuscons ; pectina- 
tions ir g 24. Thorax ochreous-brown, irrorated with 
reddish-brown. Abdomen whitish-ochreous. Legs whitish- 
ochreous. Forewings elongate ; ochreous-brown, irrorated 
with reddish-brown; a suffused median reddish-brown fascia 
containing some blackish scales; a blackish streak on vein 
1] in and beyond fascia ; a pale dentate line from 4 costa to $ 
dorsum, preceded and followed by some fine short longitudinal 
blackish streaks ; cilia brown-whitish. Hindwings with ter- 
men rounded ; whitish ; cilia whitish. 
Type in Coll. Lyell. 
N.W.A., Roeburne ; one specimen. 
CHILO OCELLEUS. 
ocellea, Haw., Brit. Lep. p. 486. 
Euchromius ocelleus. Meyr., Brit. Lep., p. 396. 
Eromene ocellea, Hmps., Moths Ind. iv., p. 24. 
I see no sufficient reason for separating this species from 
Chilo. In the only example I have examined, vein 11 of fore- 
wings is bent and approximated to 12, and 4 and 5 of hind- 
wings are stalked ; no doubt these points are subject to varia- 
tion.
