anal angle ; first line edged anteriorly with white ; second edged 
posteriorly with white, rather broadly in costal portion; space 
between two lines suffused with brassy-metallic scales, and with 
dark-fuscous forming an indistinct median streak; three or 
four minute white dots on apical two-fifths of costa; from the 
second of these a very fine wavy white line proceeds to anal 
angle; cilia pale-fuscous. Hindwings and cilia dark-grey ; paler 
in female. 
Closely allied to Uraba metallopa, Meyr., from which it may 
be distinguished by the absence of basal costal metallic spot, by 
the sharply-defined white blotch, which does not extend to costa, 
and by the more angulated transverse lines. The male is much 
smaller and darker than the female. 
Brisbane ; two specimens. 
SARROTHRIPA POLYCYMA, 2. Sp. 
Male and female, 17-22 mm. Head and palpi dark-fuscous, 
irrorated with white scales. Antenne fuscous, basal joint 
irrorated with white. Thorax white, irrorated with dark- 
fuscous. Abdomen grey. Legs white, irrorated with dark- 
fuscous. Forewings elongate-oblong, posteriorly dilated, costa 
slightly arched, apex rounded, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; 
white, thickly irrorated with grey ; with six slender, much angul- 
ated, blackish transverse lines; first and second parallel, from 
costa about one-fifth, becoming lost in disc; third and fourth 
parallel, from costa about two-fifths, to inner-margin about 
middle ; fifth and sixth parallel, describing a sigmoid curve, from 
costa at four-fifths to inner-margin before anal angle; one or two 
blackish dots on costa before apex ; two indistinct whitish lines 
parallel to hindmargin ; a blackish line, tending to be inter- 
rupted, along hindmargin ; cilia grey, mixed with white scales. 
Hindwings white; at apex and along hindmargin dark-grey ; 
cilia white, basal half grey at apex. 
Distinguished from S. exophila, Meyr., by the absence of 
greenish scales, the white hindwings, and other details. 
Brisbane ; four specimens from January to April. 
THRYPTICODES, Meyr. (MSS). 
Tongue well-developed. Antenne in male with very short 
ciliations (one-eighth), and a small tuft of hairs on upper surface 
near base (absent in female). Palpi rather long (two), with 
appressed scales, ascending ; terminal joint long, obtuse. Thorax 
crested posteriorly. Anterior tibiz densely tufted with long 
hairs beneath, especially in male. Forewings with vein two from 
two-thirds, eight and nine out of seven by a common stalk, ten 
out of seven. Hindwings in male with a pencil of long hairs.
