bordered by a transverse row of black dots ; a white diffused 

 patch covers two-fifths of wing with an arched diffusion of dots 

 and splashes longitudinally through centre to inner margin at 

 \; a line of six spots from costa at ^ to apex, becoming 

 diffused into a fascia over posterior 4 of wing, ir- 

 regularly marked with fuscous black spots, and splashed with 

 metallic copper ; a white spur runs into this dark fascia half way 

 across wing, immediately before anal angle ; a subterminal grey 

 white line. Cilia white with a central grey fuscous band. Hind- 

 wings ochreous white, with veins grey, shaded with fuscous 

 along hindmargin. Cilia as forewings. May Orchard, Bris- 

 bane, at light. 



LICHENAULA PETULANS, NOV. SP. 



$ J 13 — 18 viv{. Head, antennae, and palpi slaty grey. 

 Thorax slaty grey, fuscous grey posteriorly. Abdomen light 

 silvery grey. Forewings with costa rounded, hindmargin gently 

 rounded, inner margin bowed before anal angle, slaty grey with 

 silver specks and black dots, only discernible in special lights; 

 subhindmarginal and hindmarginal black lines faintly defined. 

 Cilia slaty grey barred with black. Hindwings silvery grey, 

 darker diffused toward hindmargin. Cilia grey, with lighter 

 line at base. May Orchard, Brisbane. Three specimens ; at 

 light. 



LICHENAULA UMBROSA NOV. SP. 



5 2 26 — 28 ))i]){. Head black, face grey. Palpi and 

 antennae black, inclining in strong light, to iron grey. Thorax 

 black or iron grey. Abdomen fuscous drab, with faint ferrous 

 lines across base of anterior segments. Forewings elongate, 

 costa rounded, hindmargin gently rounded, iron grey, with 

 diffusion of whitish grey toward costa, and diffusion of 

 black and iron grey toward inner margin, freely dusted all over 

 with minute black scales. Forewings with costal edge bordered 

 with fine black line from base to i, thence with white changing 

 to grey towards apex. Cilia fuscous drab. Hindwings light 

 fuscous drab. Cilia as forewings. One pair May Orchard, 

 Brisbane. Allied to L, haplochroa. Turner, but a much darker 

 insect, and the black head, &c., readily distinguish it. 

 The shading from grey to whitish grey and white toward costa 

 and to black and iron grey toward inner margin is most perfect.
