ilne line with second dot ; cilia wliitish. Hind wings whitish- 

 grey ; cilia whitish. 



A simply-marked species, falling in Meyrick's tabulation with 

 P. ameiiena, Meyr., from New Zealand, but distinguished. 



Mount Tambourine near Brisbane, two specimens in 

 November. 



Peltophora aureola, n. sp. 



Female, 16 mm. Head and thorax orange-yellow. Palpi 

 yellow, second joint with a dark-fuscous dot on external surface 

 at base and another before apex. Antennae orange-yellow. 

 Abdomen ochreous. Legs ochreous- whitish ; anterior pair some- 

 what infuscated. Forewings moderate, somewhat dilated, costa 

 moderately arched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin obliquely 

 rounded ; briglit-orange-yellow, deeper towards hindmargin ; 

 markings blackish ; a dot in disc before middle, a second beyond 

 middle, and a third on fold obliquely beyond first ; a tine line of 

 dots from costa at four-fifths, outwardly curved in disc to anal 

 angle ; cilia deep-orange-yellow. Hindwings and cilia yellowish- 

 whitish. 



The orange-yellow forewings, together with the very simple 

 markings, distiaguish this species from any other. In Meyrick's 

 tabulation it would fall next P. conimtia (Meyr.), from which it 

 is separated by the blackish markings. 



Mount Tambourine, near Brisbane : one specimen, in November. 



Saropla psammodes, n. sp. 



Female, 15 mm. Head, thorax, and antenna? pale-ochreous. 

 Palpi pale-ochreous ; basal two-thirds of external surface of 

 second joint fuscous. Abdomen pale-ochreous-fuscous. Legs 

 dark-fuscous ; posterior tibiae and tarsi ochreous-whitish. Fore- 

 wings moderate, scarcely dilated, costa moderately arched, apex 

 tolerably acute, hindmargin oblique, scarcely sinuate ; very pale- 

 brownish-ochreous, irrorated sparsely with brownish scales, which 

 form a suff'used fascia from costa before apex to anal angle ; a 

 blackish dot in disc before middle, a second above middle, a third 

 on fold obliquely below first, and two more almost confluent in 

 disc beyond middle ; cilia very pale-brownish-ochreous, at anal 

 angle fuscous. Hindwings and cilia whitish-grey. 



The colour of the forewings distinguishes it from other des- 

 cribed species. The long terminal joint of palpi, almost as long 

 as second joint, is another point worth noticing. 



Brisbane : one specimen in August. 



CoESYRA IODETA, 71. sp. 



Female, 14 mm. Head dark-fuscous, face whitish. Palpi 

 whitish. Antennae whitish, with a few fuscous dots on upper
