This species approaches somewhat to A. La/inri(, Iliifl., and 

 was captured l)y the Musemn Collector, Mr. Wilde, recently at 

 Cairns. It is noteworthy as representing an hitherto unrecorded 

 Australian genus and family in this group, and is another 

 instance of the wonderfully close similarity of the Heterocerous- 

 Lepidopterous fauna of this particular locality (embracing Card- 

 well, Johnstone River, and Cairns) with the Indian fauna.
