flecked with white on veins, veins outlined with darker green. 

 Costa dark fuscous, strigulated with white, beneath which is a 

 streak of darker green throughout ; a large white spot before 

 middle of hindmargin, followed by a transverse row of small 

 M'hite spots ; hindmarginal line darker green, with white spots at 

 •extremities of veins ; cilia green, terminal half whitish. Hind- 

 wings with hindmargin rounded, crenulate, sliglitly bent on 

 vein 4 ; colour, hindmarginal dots and cilia as in forewings ; a 

 large white patch resting on vein 3 near hindmargin, in shape 

 somewhat like a Maltese cross. 



One specimen, Mackay, Queensland, received fi'om Mr. Row- 

 land Turner. IS'ear speciosa, Lucas ; perhaps it is the male of 

 that species although very different, and I hardly think it 

 possible to be the same.

 whitish. Antennae spotted with darker ; pectinations eight.

 Avhitish. Forewings triangular, costa gently arched, hindmargin

 ^ark fuscous dash on costa before middle, suftusedly continued to 

 inner-margin, indicating median shade ; a well (darker at ex- 

 taemities) blackish line from just beyond middle of costa to very 

 near anal angle, with a strong, almost acute, angulation above 

 middle, containing an elongate blackish transverse discal dot, 

 which rests on lower extremity; this line is followed by a similar 

 parallel line ; a strongly dentate double-fuscous line from live- 

 sixths costa to anal angle, leaving a narrow interspace of pale 

 ochreous ; the ground-colour between the angulated line and 

 these lines is somewhat paler ; a hindmarginal row of small black

Two specimens from Croydon, Victoria, taken by Mr. AV. H. 

 F. Hill, to whom I am indebted for a specimen. This species 

 has a rather abnormal appearance, being somewhat like a 

 Pse2idote7'p7ia.
