66 Mr. E. Meyrick 07i the classification 



5. Cacozelia cliolica, n. s. 

 $ , 27 — 28 mm. Head and thorax oclireous-brown, mixed with 

 dark fuscous. Palj)i and antennae dark fuscous ; hair-pencil of 

 maxillary palpi ochreous-white. Abdomen whitish. Legs dark 

 fuscous, apex of tarsal joints white. Fore wings triangular, mode- 

 rate, costa arched towards apex, apex rounded, hind margin some- 

 what obUque, slightly rounded, faintly sinuate below apex ; 

 ochreous whitish, almost wholly suffused with brown, and densely 

 irrorated with dark fuscous ; an ill-defined ochreous whitish blotch 

 on inner margin at base, followed by a dark fuscous suffusion ; 

 veins suffusedly dark fuscous ; a very obscure irregular dark 

 fuscous line at one-third ; an obscure dark fuscous discal spot, con- 

 nected with costa by a dark suffusion ; an obscure dentate dark 

 fuscous line from costa at three-fifths to inner margin at three- 

 fourths, bent outwards in middle, indented inwards above inner 

 margin, followed by a pale line ; a dark fuscous hind marginal 

 line, interrupted by white dots ; cilia ochreous whitish, with basal 

 and median fuscous lines, and obscurely barred with dark fuscous. 

 Hind wings whitish, faintly ochreous tinged posteriorly, with a 

 moderately broad fuscous hind marginal band, becoming dark 

 fuscous on hind margin, and shortly preceded by a cloudy fuscous 

 line ; cilia white, with a dark fuscous line near base. 



This does not appear to be at all close to the American 

 species, C. hasiochrealis ; it more nearly resembles the 

 much darker C. funerea. 



Duaringa, Queensland. Two specimens received from 

 Mr. G. Barnard. I have two females from Sydney 

 which may be the other sex of this species, but as they 

 are darker and broader-winged, and the localities are so 

 widely separate, it would be unsafe to assume their 

 identity. 



Stericta, Lcl. 



The characters of the male of this genus were un- 

 known to Lederer, as well as to Guenee ; and I am not 

 aware that they have been published. Snellen describes 

 the male of what he considers a new species of this 

 genus, but makes no mention of the generic characters. 

 These give with certainty its position in this family. 



Antennae of male dentate, ciliated with tufts of hairs ; 

 basal process long, stout, reaching prothorax. The 

 other characters are not different from the female.
