of the Australian Pyralidina. 283 



from two-thirds of costa to four-fiftlis of inner margin, gently out- 

 wards-curved, obsciirely toothed at one-fourth and three-fourths, 

 indistinctly margined with fuscous, which forms small cloudy 

 spots on inner edge opposite teeth ; costa between first and second 

 lines dark fuscous, marked with three pale dots ; a conspicuous 

 subquadrate blackish discal spot ; a cloudy dark fuscous spot on 

 costa immediately after second Ime, shading posteriorly into 

 reddish fuscous ; cilia pale whitish ochreous, slightly mixed with 

 reddish fuscous. Hind wings pale greyish ochreous ; an obscure 

 irregular dentate grey line beyond middle ; cilia as in fore wings. 



Appears allied to A. torridalis, Ld., and A. fusci- 

 costalis, Snell. (which are apparently very similar to 

 each other, though I have not seen either), but the first 

 line is quite different, being very much more divergent 

 on the costa from the second than in either of these as 

 figured. 



Duaringa, Queensland ; one specimen received from 

 Mr. G. Barnard. I think it improbable that this species 

 is confined to Australia, but cannot identify it with any 

 other description. 



Endotkicha, Z. 

 Claspers apparently developed. In E. pyrosalis the claspers 

 appear to be large and tufted, the valves reduced to a long spinous 

 process lying beneath the clasper, the micus well developed ; on 

 apex of abdomen above origin of uncus is a raised rounded 

 protuberance. 



Persicopteea, n. g. 

 Forehead flat, vertical. Ocelli present. Tongue well developed. 

 Antennae moderate, in male apparently very strongly ciliated. 

 Labial palpi moderate, arched, ascending, 2nd joint with dense 

 rough projecting scales beneath, terminal joint short, exposed, 

 filiform. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform. Fore wings with 

 vein 3 remote from 4, 4 and 5 very near together from angle, 6 

 from a point with 9, 7 and 8 stalked out of 9, 10 separate, 11 from 

 near 10, anastomosmg shortly with 12. Hind wings as broad as 

 fore wings ; 3 remote from 4, 4 and 5 tolerably approximated from 

 angle, 7 out of 6 rather near origin, anastomosmg with 8 mode- 

 rately. 



Differs from all other described Pyralid genera, except 

 Semnia, Hb., and Euriji^ta, Ld., by the anastomosing for 

 a short space of veins 11 and 12 of the fore wings.
