N.Q., Kuranda, near Cairns, in October ; Evelyn 

 Scrub, near Herberton, in December or January ; three 

 specimens. 



Halone coryph^a, n. sp. 

 xoQVcpaiog, chief. 



This is the species described by Mr. Meyrick 

 (P.L.S. N.S.W., 1886, p. 729) as Mosoda consolatrix, Ros. 

 This is, however, an erroneous identification, as that name 

 is a synonym of Halone sobria, Wlk. In the British Museum 

 the two species have been confused, and most of the 

 localities given by Sir Geo. Hampson (Cat. Lep. Phal. i., 

 p. 279) for sobria are erroneous. The present species has 

 a wide distribution.
