Da-<yr,hiroides, Bak., Nov. Zool., 1904, i>. 405. 



Palpi, porrect, or slightly inclined upwards, moderate 

 (1), second joint fringed with long hair beneath, terminal 

 joint very short. Thorax and abdomen not crested. [Pos- 

 terior tibiae broken. -] Forewings, with 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked, 

 7 from .before 10, 11 anastomosing shortly with 12. Hind- 

 wings with 5 approximated to 4 at base, discocellular angled, 

 6 and 7 connate, 7 anastomosing shortly with 8 before middle. 



Distinguished from Euproctis by the anastomosis of 11 

 and 12 of forewings; from A.r?o^or/a, Turn., by the absence 

 of the areole. 



Dasychiroides pratti. 



Dasi/chirryides 2))'fftfi, Bak., Nov. Zool.. 1904, p. 406, 

 PI. vi., f. 7. 



N.Q., Kuranda, in October; one male received from Mr. 

 F. P. Dodd. It is not so darkly marked as in the figure, 

 but there is no doubt as to its identity. 



Imaus.

 Ind. 1, p. 466. 



This genus has not been previously recorded as Austra- 

 lian. Mr. Bethune-Baker has recently described seven new 

 species from New Guinea. It differs from Eitprorfis in the 

 separation of veins 6 and 7 of the hindwings; points of less 

 importance are the somewhat longer palpi, and the peculiar 

 form of the hindwings.
