312 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



with 2)liLtalis {ijlutusalis) , Walk. N. cassalis is the 

 smallest species of the group, very similar to N.plutalis, 

 but with the black spots smaller, and the angle of the 

 second line of the fore wings less rectilinear. 



Duaringa and Brisbane, Queensland; common in 

 September and October. Also occurs in Celebes, Java, 

 Sumatra, Ceylon, India, and South Africa. 



Notarcha clytalis, Walk. 



Astura clytalis (clytusalis), Walk., 550 ; Botys clytialis, 

 Ld., pi. X., 16. 



Duaringa, Queensland ; Sydney, New South Wales ; 

 common on its food-plant. The larva feeds on Sterculia, 

 and is gregarious, living socially in a large nest of silk 

 and leaves. 



B. Antennae of male evenly ciliated (^). 



Notarcha multilinealis, Gn. 



Botys multilinealis, Gn., 337, pi. viii., 11 ; Zehronia 

 salomealis, Walk., 476, Suppl., 1348 ; Botys oty- 

 salis, ib., 723 ; B. annuligeralis, ib., Suj)pl., 1424 ; 

 B. hasipunctalis, Brem. 



Duaringa and Rosewood, Queensland ; three speci- 

 mens in September. Also occurs in New Guinea, 

 Celebes, Java, Japan, India, and South Africa. 



Deutekarcha, n. g. 



Forehead rounded, rather projecting. OceUi present. Tongiie 

 well developed. Antennae two-thirds of fore wings, in male fili- 

 form, evenly ciliated (J), rough-scaled above. Labial palpi mode- 

 rate, arched, ascending, 2nd joint with dense projecting scales 

 beneath, terminal joint short, thick, cylindrical, truncate. Maxil- 

 lary palpi moderate, filiform. Posterior tibiaj with outer spurs 

 somewhat less than half inner. Abdomen elongate, in male with 

 slender anal tuft ; valves retracted. Fore wings with vein 11 

 moderately long, oblique. Hind wings somewhat broader than 

 fore wings ; 3, 4, 5 approximated at base, 7 out of 6 near origin, 

 anastomosing with 8 to one-fourth. 



Distinguished from Notarcha by the rounded rather 

 projecting forehead, which yet hardly forms a distinct 

 protuberance. Both species are somewhat peculiar in 

 appearance, and have little resemblance to each other.
