One specimen received from Mr. A. Zeitz, taken at Lake 
Mulligan, South Australia. It is a conspicuously distinct species, 
and is remarkable for the colour of hindwings, all the other 
species known to me being more or less unicolorus. 
MOonocrTeEntA (1) XANTHASTIS, 7. Sp. 
Female, 55 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, and abdomen pale- 
ochreous-fuscous. Antenne yellowish, pectinations one. Legs 
yellowish-brown. Forewings elongate-triangular, strongly dilated 
posteriorly ; costa rather strongly arched, hindmargin rounded, 
oblique (apex broken) ; pale-ochreous, finely dusted with light- 
fuscous ; a straight dark-fuscous line from beyond one-fourth of 
costa to one-third inner-margin ; a similar curved-inwards line 
from three-fourths of costa to two-thirds of inner-margin; a 
transverse linear discal dot midway between these lines; cilia 
dark-brown, with a yellow line near base. Hindwings with 
hindmargin rounded ; bright golden orange, markings and cilia 
as in forewings, but first line and discal dot absent. Forewings | 
beneath bright golden yellow, strongly sutfused with dark brown 
strigulations along costa and hindmargin; discal spot much 
larger. Hindwings with colour as forewings wholly strigulated 
with dark brown, more thickly towards base. 
One specimen from Mr. R. Lllidge, of Bulimba, Queensland, 
who took it at Gympie in March. It is certainly not referable 
to the genus Monoctenia, but is placed here provisionally, the 
curious unpectinated antennz of the female would in itself 
warrant a new genus being formed, but in the absence of the 
male I shall place it in Monoctenia. The nearest approach to it 
as regards superficial appearance is Humelea rosalia, Cram. 
GEOMETRID4. 
Evucuioris (IopIs) MICROGYNA, 7. sp. 
Female, 22 mm. Head dull yellowish-green, fillet greenish- 
glaucous. Antenne and legs yellowish-white ; posterior legs 
white. Thorax and abdomen dull glaucous-green ; abdomen with 
three minute snow-white crests on middle segments. Forewings 
elongate-triangular ; costa gently arched, hindmargin slightly 
angulated in middle, upper half straight, lower half oblique; dull- 
glaucous-green, a darker green discal dot, a hindmarginal row of 
minute snow-white spots at extremities of veins ; cilia greenish. 
Hindwings with hindmargin angulated on vein four; colour, 
markings, and cilia as in forewings; cilia lighter towards anal 
angle. Between neptunus, Butl., and centrophylla, Meyr. 
One specimen, taken by Mr. C. J. Wild at Brisbane (type in 
Brisbane Museum).
