Kirkaldy (Kep. Exp. IStat. Haw. Plant. Assoc, pi. ix. 

 p. 4o5) has described two species of liliotana from Queens- 

 land. Of the first, li. chrysonoe^ the British Museum 

 possesses a single carded specimen, which ajjpi^ars to agree 

 with the description and has now been doubttuUy labelled as 

 that species in the collection. The description of the second 

 species is inadequate for idenlitication without seeing a 

 typical specimen.

 riaut. Assoc, pt. IX. p. 41^7 (190G). 



Kirkaldy writes : " This genus seems to be but slightly 

 diHerentiated from Kennesia, Melich." On the contrary, 

 the shai)e of the tegmina is quite divergent and the number 

 of a[)ical areas different, eight or nine m Kenneaia, five in

It IS necessary to point out that Kirkaldy, in the short 

 description of ins typical species, refers to pi. xxix. figs. 5-6, 

 whereas it should be, as later on correctly stated in tlie 

 " Jjescription of Plates," pi. xxix. figs. 3-4.
