beneath costa at f , with a second longitudinally elongate dot 

 beneath it in disc ; an outwardly curved obscure whitish line 

 more or less edged with fuscous on both sides from f costa to 

 before tornus ; an interrupted blackish terminal line ; cilia grey, 

 apices and a fine median line whitish, sometimes pinkish before 

 apices. Hindwings with termen slightly rounded ; veins 3 

 shortly approximated to 4 + 5 near base ; whitish and thinly 

 scaled ; veins and termen fuscous; cilia whitish with a fuscous 

 line near base. 



Type in Coll. Turner. 



N.Q., Townsville, in October; four specimens received from 

 Mr. F. P. Dodd. Q., Brisbane, in December ; one specimen. 



PHYCITA HADES. 



Kcphopteriix hades*, Low., Tr. R.S.S.A., 1903, p. 51. 



$ 20 TH,Tf[. Head, thorax, palpi and antennae fuscous. 

 Abdomen fuscous, apices of segments whitish. Legs fuscous 

 with some whitish scales. Forewings elongate, posteriorly 

 dilated, costa rather strongly arched, apex rounded, termen 

 rounded, slightly oblique; fuscous; markings dark-fuscous; a 

 transverse line in disc at |, not reaching margins ; an irregular 

 suffused blotch at mid-disc ; a line from f costa, first inwardly, 

 then outwardly, and again inwardly waved to {r dorsum ; this is 

 closely followed by a parallel slightly brownish line from apex 

 to tornus ; a series of terminal dots ; cilia fuscous, apices and 

 two fine lines whitish. Hindwings with termen rounded, 

 slightly sinuate beneath apex; vein 3 closely applied to 4 -t- 5 

 for some distance from origin ; whitish, thinly scaled ; a suffused 

 fuscous terminal line ; cilia whitish, with a fuscous line near 

 base. 



The type, though in perfect condition, is more obscurely 

 marked than my specimen. After careful comparison I think 

 they are the same species. 



M.Q., Townsville, in January. One specimen received 

 from Mr. F. P. Dodd.

 and inappropriate names are so common.
