598 Dr. A. Jefferis Turner’s Observations on the 
Sabatinea sterops, n. sp. (otéooy, flashing, dazzling). 
$ 2. 69 mm. Head ochreous. Antennae whitish-ochreous, 
with a dark-fuscous ring at about }. Thorax shining pale-yellow. 
Abdomen pale-grey, in g ochreous tinged. Fore-wings narrowly 
elongate-oval; shining pale-yellow; three dark-fuscous dots on 
costa, near base, at }, and on middle; a similar smaller dot in 
middle of disc between first two costal-dots; a dark-fuscous streak 
from mid-dorsum obliquely outwards towards third costal dot, 
but not reaching beyond middle of disc, broad on dorsum; a round, 
shining, brassy blotch before apex reaching from costa to dorsum ; 
cilia shining pale-yellow. Hind-wings broadly lanceolate; cilia 1; 
pale-grey; cilia pale-grey. 
NortH QUEENSLAND: Kuranda, near Cairns, in June, 
Innisfail in November; Mourilyan Harbour, near Innis- 
fail, in July; six specimens. 
While camped at an altitude of 3000 ft. in the Queens- 
land National Park in the McIntyre Range, among luxuriant 
rain-forest, consisting of se jungle with large numbers 
of tree- ferns, between Dec. 2 27th, 1920, and Jan. 3rd, 1921, 
I took a small moth, which promised to be of great interest. 
It appears to be of lethargic habit, and I did not see it 
on the wing. Four specimens in all were secured (one 
of these has since been dissected) by sweeping the foliage 
of certain ferns and climbers attached to tree-trunks, or 
by beating the long sprays of moss hanging from twigs. 
The neuration of this species, to which ia give the generic 
name Palacoses, is shown in Fig. 6. The fore- -wing 18 
provided with a small acute jugal lobe, which is “not 
deflexed, but projects downwards nearly in the same 
plane as the wing, and there is no frenulum on the hind- 
wing. ‘The wing-coupling is therefore jugate, and of the 
same structure as occurs in the Hepialidae. In the fore- 
wing the subcostal gives off a short humeral cross-bar to 
the costa near the base of the wing, and divides into Sel 
and Se2, the former vein being very short. R1 is undivided, 
and the radial sector divides dichotomously, but its lower 
branches are deflected dorsad, so that R3, R4 and R5 run 
to the termen, while R2 reaches the costa shortly before 
the apex. In this it contrasts sharply with Sabatinca 
and with most Lepidoptera except the Hepialidae, in which 
the terminal ending of these veins is a usual character. 
There is no inter-radial, so that the areole is undeveloped. 
The media arises out of the cubitus, the bases of these
