rather thickly irrorated with dark-fuscous scales ; the absence of 

 these leaves a whitish dot in disc above middle at one-third, and 

 a second before two-thirds ; also an inwardly oblique triangular 

 mark on costa at four-fifths, from which a curved line proceeds to 

 anal angle ; cilia whitish, yellowish-tinged, with a few scattered 

 dark -fuscous scales. Hind wings whitish, thinly scaled, semi- 

 transparent : a few pale-fuscous scales at apex and along hind- 

 margin ; cilia ochreous-vvhitish. 



Very distinct from any other species by the ^^ellowish fore- 

 wings with fuscous irroration, and the semi-transparent hind- 

 wings. 



Mount Tambourine, near Brisbane , one specimen in 

 November. 



LiNOSTICHA POLIOCHROA, 71. Sp. 



Male and female, 12-13 mm. Head white, finely irrorated 

 with fuscous. Palpi white ; second joint fuscous at base, and 

 with a fuscous subapical ring ; terminal joint with a fuscous 

 basal and subapical ring. Antennae pale-fuscous ; ciliations in 

 male 3. Thorax white, finely irrorated with fuscous. Abdomen 

 whitish ochreous. Legs whitish. Forewings narrow, elongate, 

 costa almost straight, apex round-pointed ; hindmargin very 

 obliquely rounded, white, finely irrorated with fuscous, and with 

 darker-fuscous dots ; a raised patch of scales in middle of disc at 

 one-third and two-thirds, with a dark-fuscous dot beyond each ; 

 a third dot on fold obliquely below first ; a fourth on inner- 

 margin before anal angle ; traces of short lines from base of costa 

 along fold, and from costa at one-third to first dot ; a dot on 

 costa at one-hcilf, and another at two-thirds ; from the latter is a 

 series of five or six dots parallel to hindmargin ; cilia white, with 

 a few fuscous scales. Hindwings and cilia whitish-grey. 



In Meyrick's tabulation this would fall next to L. helictis^ 

 Meyr., distinguished by absence of inner-marginal blotch. It is, 

 however, a much smaller insect, more resembling L. anarcha^ 

 Meyr., but without ochreous tinge. The raised scales are a 

 peculiar character. 



Mount Tambourine ; two specimens in November. 



Philobota rhodopleura, n. sp. 



Male, 21-22 mm. Head grey. Palpi grey ; middle third of 

 second joint, base, and apex of terminal joint dark-fuscous. 

 Antennae grey. Thorax and abdomen grey. Legs grey ; anterior 

 tarsi dark -fuscous, annulated with whitish ; posterior tibiae and 

 tarsi whitish. Forewings moderate, oblong, costa moderately 

 arched, apex obtusely rectangular, hindmargin slightly oblique, 

 rounded beneath ; grey ; costal edge blackish at base, thence
