BOMBYCINA. 



LYMAXTRIAU.E. 

 Anthela rubicund a, Swin. 

 (Darala ruhicunda, Swin., Ann. Mag., N.H., ix., p. 419, 

 June, 1902. Anthela plicenicias, Turn., Tr. Royal Soc, S.A., 

 p. 182, July, 1902.) 



Roebourne, W.A. ; Mackay, Brisbane. Duaringa, Queens- 

 land ; Palmerston, Northern Territory. 



The late Mr. G. Barnard bred this species from larvse feed- 

 ing on Eucalyptus sp. 



NOCTTJID^. 



Idalima placodes, Low. 



{Cruria (?) placodes, Low., Trans. Roy. Soc, p. 30, 1903.) 

 Idalima hemiphragma, Low. 



(Cruria hemiphragma., ih., I.e., 1903.) 



I refer both these species to Turner's genus Idalima-, the 

 latter species has a strong broad conical homy projection from 

 forehead ; and the former has a similar, but much more feeble 

 appendage. I would have referred hemiphragma to 

 Coenotoca, Turn., but it has no abdominal crests, but the frontal 

 projection and neuration are^ exactly as in that genus, and it 

 ig highly probable that when allied forms are discovered this 

 latter genus will have to be merged into the former.
