widened, the apex half as broad as the apex of the second 

 segment. Sixth segment triangular, pubescent. Second 

 abscissa of the radius a little longer than the third, which is 

 twice as long as the first, the third transverse cubital 

 nervure curved outward. First recurrent nervure received 

 at two-thirds from the base of the second cubital cell, second 

 close to the middle of the third cubital cell. Cubital 

 nervure reaching about halfway from the third cubital cell 

 to the margin of the wing ; submedian cell a little longer 

 than the median ; cubitus of hind wing originating beyond 

 the transverse median nervure. 



The fuscous band on the basal nervure is irregular, the 

 second fuscous band occupies the basal half of the radial 

 cell, the second and third cubital cells, reaching into the 

 discoidal cell. Posterior tibiaa smooth ; tarsal ungues with 

 one small tooth near the middle, the pul villus rather small, 

 shorter than the ungues. 



Hab. Mackay, Queensland; November. Ex coll. Turner. 



The probable male of this species has the clypeus broadly 

 subtruncate at the apex ; the antennae stouter and rather 

 shorter than in the female, but still longer than the head, 

 thorax, and median segment combined, the second joint of 

 the flagellum scarcely longer than the third ; the eyes 

 separated on the vertex by a distance equal to the length of 

 the second joint of the flagellum plus half the length of the 

 third joint ; the median segment flatter than in the female, 

 the median groove narrow and only on the basal half; the 

 basal segment of the abdomen slender, less than half as wide 

 at the apex as the second segment. The third abscissa of 

 the radius is a little longer than the second; the first 

 recurrent nervure is received close to the middle of the 

 second cubital cell, the second before one-third from the 

 base of the third cubital cell. The sixth ventral segment 

 has the lateral margins elevated, most strongly at the 

 base, and a well-defined median carina. The calcaria 

 are whitish. The fuscous fasciae of the fore wings are less 

 extensive than in the female. It is with much doubt that I 

 associate the sexes in this species, there being considerable 

 differences in the neuration and sculpture.
