38 IMiss G. Ricardo on the 



jNIr. Frenches Coll.^ and another female from Northern 

 Queensland in Brit. Mns. Coll. 



A reddish-brown species with two brown bands on the 

 wings and with bright golden-yellow hairs on sides of thorax, 

 the beard of the same colour. Legs black. Antennas red.

It has a general resemblance to Erephopsis quadrimacuJa, 

 "NY Ik., from which it is distinguished by the bare eyes and 

 open cells of wing. Pavgoaia rod, King, may possibly be 

 identical with this species^ but the description is too vague 

 and insufficient to allow of identification.

 point. Proboscis long. Beard golden-yellow. AntenrKE :
