404 Mr. Butler's descriptions of Lepidoptera- 



under surface also very similar to M. mendaculalis, but the internal 

 border of the primaries greyish white ; the secondaries decidedly 

 whiter, with the two abbreviated dusky stripes from the costa 

 rather better defined; palpi with longer terminal joint, the distal 

 half black, crossed by a whitish line between the joints. Expanse 

 of wings, 18 mm.

THALPOCHARES, Lederer. 



37. Thalpochares leonata, n. s. 



Allied to T. partita of Java ; stramineous ; primaries with the 

 external half brownish testaceous, crossed along its inner edge by 

 an externally waved darker and somewhat lilacine band, and 

 margined internally by a white and black line ; a submarginal 

 series of black dots ; external border narrowly greyish, tapering 

 at the extremities, bounded internally by a white line ; fringe 

 broad, flesh-pink, irrorated, excepting along the outer edge, with 

 red-brown; costa slightly redder than the ground colour; secondaries 

 with a diffused externo-discal ferruginous stripe, only well-defined 

 towards the abdominal margin ; slender marginal and submarginal 

 ferruginous lines ; fringe whitish, traversed by a slender pale 

 brownish line, and margined with the same colour ; wings below 

 ochreous, irrorated with ferruginous towards the apices ; internal 

 borders whitish ; costal margin of primaries from beyond the 

 middle to the apex blackish spotted with white ; legs whitish. 

 Expanse of wings, 15 mm. 



Rockhampton. 



38. Thalpochares pusilla, n. s. 



Somewhat allied to T. parva, though altogether more brightly 

 coloured ; primaries with the ground colour whity brown, crossed 

 before the middle by an internally diffused oblique castaneous 

 band, its outer edge sharply defined, followed almost immediately 

 by an internally diffused greyish band, its outer edge bounded by 

 a darker sinuous discal line ; a broad patch of castaneous below the 

 apex, and a second at external angle, with a slender arched con- 

 necting line of the same colour ; four submarginal white dots, the 

 three upper ones crossing the subapical patch, and the fourth upon 

 the inferior patch ; a marginal series of blackish dots followed by 

 a white line at the base of the fringe ; fringe pale grey with reddish 

 reflections, white externally with a brown edge ; secondaries 

 whitish, becoming greyish brown towards outer margin ; fringe
