Mr. Illidge informs me that the larva? of synopla feed on 

 Colocasia. 



Type in coll. Turner. 



Queensland, Nambour, Brisbane, Mt. Tambourine. 



N.S. Wales, Ballina (Richmond River) ; from November to

Gen. Idalima, nov. 



{Eidalimos, comely.) 



Head with an anterior rounded protuberance. Palpi moderate, 

 obliquely ascending ; second joint densely hairy beneath ; 

 terminal joint short, naked, obtuse. Antennae in male simple, 

 shortly and evenly ciliated. Thorax and abdomen not crested. 

 Middle and posterior tibiae not hairy on upper surface. Fore- 

 wings with vein 2 from posterior fifth of cell; 7, 8, 9 stalked, 10 

 from areole. Hindwings with 3 and 4 closely approximated at 

 base, 5 from middle of cell, 6 and 7 connate. 



Distinguished from Apina, Wlk., by the rounded frontal pro- 

 tuberance, the simple non-serrated male antennae, and the smooth 

 mid and posterior tibiae. 



Type Agarista affinis, Bdv. I also refer maculosa, Roths., to 

 this genus. 



Gen. CoENOTOCA, nov. 



{Koinotokos, of common descent.) 



Head with a strong conical obtusely-pointed frontal process. 

 Talpi moderate, porrect or slightly ascending ; second joint 

 clothed with dense hairs beneath ; terminal joint short, naked, 

 obtuse. Antennae in male serrate, shortly and evenly ciliated. 

 Thorax clothed with very long hairs above. Abdomen with 

 dorsal crests on proximal segments, that on first segment rather 

 large. Mid and posterior tibiae hairy on upper surface. Fore- 

 wings with vein 2 from terminal fifth of cell, 7, 8, 9 stalked, 10 

 from areole. Hindwings with 3 and 4 closely approximated at 

 base, 5 from middle of cell, 6 and 7 connate. 



Differs from the preceding in the differently-shaped frontal 

 process, serrated antenna? of the male, and in the presence of 

 abdominal crests.
