Iphierga ceypsilopha, n. sp. 



Male, 12-18 mm. Head, and palpi dull orange, palpi slightly 

 tufted. Antennae and legs greyish-ochreous. Thorax dark fuscous. 

 Abdomen greyish. Forewings elongate, moderate, costa hardly 

 arched, termen strongly rounded ; 4 absent ; pale greyish- 

 ochreous ; markings ill-defined ; fuscous ; a moderate basal 

 fascia ; four moderate spots on costa at one-third, just beyond 

 middle, four-fifths and five-sixths^ each indicating commence- 

 ment of slender fasciae, of which the first and second only 

 are just traceable, the others appear as fine dots or obscure 

 strigulse ; a moderate spot on innermargin just before anal 

 angle ; some obscure fuscous dots along termen ; cilia greyish- 

 ochreous. Hindw^ings pale greyish ; cilia greyish, ochreous at 

 base. 



Mackay, Queensland ; three specimens in November and 

 December. 



Closely allied to 'pentidias, Meyr., of which it may prove 

 to be a variety, but the absence of any prominent tuft on the 

 palpi, which is a special character of that species, the greyish- 

 ochreous legs, which in "pentulias are dark fuscous, and the 

 interrupted fasciae of forewings seem to favor it being distinct. 



The female is probably apterous, as in Taleporia (a Euro- 

 pean genus).
