194 Mr. E. Moyrick's descriptions of 



base, two before middle, three beyond middle, and two about 

 three-fourths, are more or less marked throughout with black ; a 

 subterminal line dotted with blackish ; a hind-marginal row of 

 small black spots on veins ; cilia ochreous-whitish. Hind wings 

 short, narrow, hind margin rounded, waved ; ochreous-whitish ; 

 cilia ochreous-whitish. 



Fiji (Matltew, Lucas) ; two specimens. 



CiDARIA, Tr. 

 Palpi moderate or short, roughly scaled, porrected. Antennte 

 in male stout, shortly ciliated. Fore wings with vein 6 rising out 

 of 9, 7 almost from angle of ai'eole, 10 anastomosing moderately 

 with 9, 11 anastomosing moderately with 10, 12 free. Hind wings 

 with veins 6 and 7 stalked, 8 anastomosing with 7 from near base 

 to near transverse vein. 



As thus restricted the genus probably occurs nearly 

 universally. I have not yet met with it myself in 

 Australia ; in New Zealand it is fairly represented.
