fuscous, with a large white quadrate spot on posterior half. 

 Antenna? and legs whitish, posterior legs ochreous. Abdomen 

 greyish ochreous. Forewings elongate, moderate ; costa gently 

 arched, apex round pointed, hindmargin obliquely rounded, 

 brownish ochreous ; a large snow-white blotch at base, extending 

 along inner-margin to about one-third, and only separated from 

 costa by a line of ground colour; a suffused erect white triangular 

 spot on inner-margin at anal angle ; a similar, but more oblique, 

 one from costa just before apex, nearly touching apex of previous 

 spot ; a small suffused, whitish spot on middle of costa ; a minute 

 fuscous dot in apical white spot ; cilia ochreous-brownish, median 

 third white. Hindwings greyish-ochreous ; cilia pale-yellowish; 

 underside of wings more yellowish tinged. In the present species, 

 which is doubtfully referred to Peltophoi-a, veins 3, 4, and 5 of 

 forewings are closely approximated, yet separately at base — a 

 rather unusual character in this group. The hindwings are 

 normal. The antennal pecten is not traceable, having apparently 

 been denuded. One specimen at Mackay, Queensland, in 

 December. 



Orophia marmorea, n. sp. 



Male, 17 mm. Head, thorax, palpi, and antenna? white ; 

 antennal ciliations two, terminal joint of palpi hardly more than 

 half of second. Abdomen greyish. Legs grey, posterior pair' 

 whitish. Forewings elongate, moderate ; costa gently arched, 

 apex hardly pointed, hindmargin oblique, white, markings 

 ochreous brown ; a narrow, somewhat indistinct costal streak, 

 attenuated at base ; a suffused indistinct line, commencing at 

 base in middle and ending just near apex, a well-defined discal 

 spot at one-third of this streak, a second obliquely below it ; a 

 moderately thick fascia from costa at apex to anal angle, strongly 

 indented inwards in median portion ; a row of blackish fuscous 

 interrupted spots along hindmargin and apical fourth of costa ; 

 cilia pale yellowish. Hindwings and cilia grey, cilia yellowish 

 tinged at base. One specimen at Mackay, Queensland, in April. 

 This species partakes somewhat the characters of both Saropla, 

 Meyr., and Orophia, Meyr., but seemingly distinct from either 

 by the palpi. 



C.ESYRA ARGYRASPIS, H. Sp. 



Female, 15 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax ochreous-orange. 

 Legs and abdomen greyish. Forewings moderate, elongate ; 

 costa hardly arched, apex somewhat pointed ; hindmargin oblique, 

 dull-ochreous-orange, w T ith silvery-white markings ; a somewhat 

 broad costal streak from base to apex and right through cilia, 

 attenuated towards base ; three elongate, hardly connected spots 

 in middle of wing, first narrowly elongate, attenuated at base,
