fringe yellowish at the base; a black disco-cellular spot; body

Peak Downs. 



CASBIA, Walk. 

 96. Casbia irrorata, n. s. 



? . Pale pinky brown with golden reflections, densely irrorated 

 with grey ; wings with very minute marginal black dots ; primaries 

 with the costal border slightly whitish ; head dark brown ; under 

 surface white, grey-speckled, with a faint bronze-brown tint in 

 certain lights ; external borders pinky brown, mottled with grey ; 

 a small blackish disco-cellular spot on each wing ; legs cream- 

 coloured. Expanse of wings, 26 mm. 



Kockhampton. 



Allied to C. rectaria, Walk., but without the bands and 

 spots characteristic of that species ; it seems improbable 

 that it can be a variety. 



ASPILATES. 



97. Aspilates clarissa, n. s. 



General aspect of very pale examples of Osteodes tu/rbulentata, 

 Guen. (= Aspilates exumbrata and semispurcata, Walk.), seri- 

 ceous pinky whitish, indistinctly irrorated with grey-brown scales ; 

 under surface of a more creamy tint, with the costal border of the 

 primaries slightly ochraceous; the female decidedly whiter than 

 the male on both surfaces. Expanse of wings, 31 mm. 



Male, Moreton Bay ; female, Peak Downs. 



LAKENTIID.E. 

 CIDAEIA, Treits. 



98. Cidaria decipiens, n. s. 



Closely allied to C. emilia of Chili, from which it chiefly differs 

 in the absence of the yellow streaks on the veins ; primaries pale 

 leaden grey, with darker basal patch and subangulated central 

 belt, with zigzag black margins and white borders ; a narrow 

 grey-speckled testaceous band bounding the inner edge of the 

 central belt; an ill-defined black reniform spot; a submarginal 

 series of more or less confluent squamose blackish spots, largest 

 towards apex, indistinctly edged externally by a white line ; 

 secondaries grey ; a faint indication of an angular whitish diffused 

 stripe across the middle and an oblique whitish line from anal
