margin with ochreous-whitish ; hindmarginal line and cilia as in 
forewings. Between repentinata, Walk., and anaspila, Meyr. 
The ground is different from any other species I am acquainted 
with. 
One specimen in December. Duaringa, Queensland (Coll. 
Barnard). 
XANTHORHOE PELOCHROA, %. Sp. 
Male, 25 mm. ; female, 25. Head, palpi, thorax, abdomen, and 
legs dark-fuscous ; palpi one and a half, posterior legs ochreous- 
tinged, abdomen in male with pairs of black dots at base of seg- 
ments, in female with black segmental rings and a minute yellow- 
ish spot on dorsum at base of segments, second segment paler. 
Antenne fuscous, pectinations six. Forewings triangular, hind- 
margin waved, obliquely rounded; dull ochreous-fuscous, darker 
in male, with numerous waved transverse lines, and with a few 
minute white scattered dots; outer edge of basal patch hardly 
traceable, in male followed by a row of obscure minute black 
dots ; median band hardly darker than ground-colour. Anterior 
edge from beyond one-third of costa to one-third inner margin, 
curved inwards somewhat ; posterior from near three-fourths of 
costa to two-thirds inner-margin, with a moderate blunt projec- 
tion in middle; a well-defined, sometimes obscurely-whitish 
edged black discal dot in middle; a somewhat thick, irregular, 
crescentic light-ochreous mark above, and immediately following 
angulation of median band; an irregular, triangular, apical 
patch of dull-ochreous, from which proceeds a fine subterminal 
line of same colour ; not in female. A waved, fine, black, hind- 
marginal line ; cilia ochreous-fuscous, tips whitish. Hindwings 
with hindmargin waved, rounded ; dull-fuscous, with numerous 
waved, darker, transverse lines, more distinct on inner-margin ; a 
black discal dot at one-third from base above middle ; a broad, 
irregular, waved, ochreous band from middle of costa to middle 
of inner margin ; obsolete in female; a similar but more suffused 
band immediately before hindmargin ; not traceable in female. 
Hindmarginal line and cilia as in forewings. 
Two specimens from G. Lyell, jun., Gisborne, Victoria. It 
comes nearest ‘“ repentinata,” Walk.; the lunate mark beyond 
median band is a good recognisable character.
