Warooiia, West Australia, May 27, 1909 (G. F. Berthond). Type in coll. Brit. 

 Mns., paratype in coll. G. Lyell, Gisborne. 



Related to pseudopliaes Lower; very distinct in its very dark, very glossy 

 coloration. 



4. Ophiographa postmarginata spec nov. 



(??, 24-25 mm. Frontal protuberance rather less long than m serpeiitaria, 

 ending, as in that species, in a long, curved, horny point. Head and thorax con- 

 colorous with forewing, mixed with dark fnscous. S autennal pectinations long ; 

 ? hindtibia with terminal spurs only. 



Both wings in S with termen very feebly, in ? rather more (but still only 



slightly) subcrenulate. Forewing with termen strongly bowed, becoming very 



oblique ; SC'^ anastomosing (SC- at a point only) with SC*, M' well separate 

 from R', LU> rather more vertical than usual ; pale reddish grey, mixed, especially 

 in basal area, with red-brown, a sparser dusting of fuscous scales in the same area 

 (and in the ? in the distal area) ; costal margin as far as first line more fuscous ; 

 first line fuscons, from costa at beyond two-fifths to posterior margin at about (or 

 before) one-half, strongly dentate, the sharpest teeth on the veins and submedian 

 fold, pointing proximad ; second line crennlate, 2'5 mm. from termen, nearly 

 parallel therewith, slightly incurved between R' and R^ and in submedian area, in 

 ? obscured by fnscous shading ; cell-spot weak ; terminal line fuscous, thickening 



between the veins ; fringe whitish. Hind wing with SC- — R' connate ; white 



with a small dark cell-dot, feeble sinuous postmedian line and a fuscous terminal 

 shade, in the S 1-5 mm. broad, but in the ? occupying half the wing, crossing the 

 postmedian line ; terminal line and fringe as on forewing. 



Forewing beneath rather paler, almost unmarked, the postmedian indicated 

 by a dark spot on costa, accompanied distally by a pale one. Hindwing beneath 

 whiter than forewing, the cell-spot well marked, the postmedian and the terminal 

 shade indicated, the former accompanied proximally by a small fnscous costal 

 blotch. 



Sherlock River, West Australia (E. Clements). Type (c?) and paratype in 

 coll. Brit. Mns. 



Evidently near dilutaria Warr. 



5. Lissocraspeda pygmaea spec. nov. 



<?, 20 mm. Head and pal])us fuscous, more or less mixed with whitish, a 

 bar on forehead blacker, vertex more strongly mixed with white ; the strong frontal 

 prominence ending in two small pointed processes. Antennal pectinations long. 

 Thorax above fuscous, mixed with whitish ; abdomen paler, with narrow fnscous 

 belt at end of each segment. Legs mixed with fuscous and whitish. 



Forewing fuscons, mixed with blackish, obscnring the markings ; antemedian 

 line blackish, only indicated as a short mark at about one-third costa ; postmedian 

 blackish, slender, sinuous, at about 2 mm. from termen, thickest and most distinct 

 at costa, faintly traceable throughout, the inward curves between radials and in 



posterior half ; terminal line thick, black, interrupted. Hindwing white, dusted 



with fnscous near termen, with two fuscous spots or beginnings of lines at distal 

 pari of inner margin and a fuscous tornal blotch containing the darker beginning 

 of a tliird line ; an interrupted fnscous terminal line.
