narrow. Wings with arculus semiobsolete ; Ri conspi- 

 cuously arcuated before tip ; basal deflection of Cui at or 

 before the fork of M; 2nd Anal vein sinuous. 



Type of the subgenus : — Limnojj/iila leucophoeta, Skuse 

 (Australia). 



This new group is apparently related to Dactylolabis, 

 Osten-Sacken, but shows some affinities with Pseudolimno- 

 phila, Alexander. The discovery of the male sex will be of 

 interest. 



Limnophila {Paralimnophila) leucophcBta cairnensis, subsp. n. 



Female. — Length 10 mm.; wing 8'7 mm. 



Similar to L. leucojyhceta, Skuse, difl'ering as follows : — 



Size slightly smaller. Pronotum and humeral region of 

 prajscutum yellowish. Thoracic pleuia largely dark brown. * 

 Wings pale yellowish subhyaline, the costal cell brown, more 

 yellowish at the tip ; cell Sc largely yellowish ; veins and 

 cells conspicuously clouded with brown, distributed as 

 follows : — Two subhyaline areas in cell R before the origin 

 of Rs, these a little smaller than the dark area between ; a 

 pale area before the stigma ; cell 1st M^ pale. Venation : 

 8ci extending to just beyond the fork of R^^z, Sc^ some 

 distance from the tip of Sci, lying far before the fork of Rs, 

 Sci alone longer than the basal deflection of Cui ; Ri 

 arcuated opposite r ; r about twice its length before the tip 

 of Ri and on R2 a distance about three times 7^2+3 ; Rs very 

 long ; -R2+3 shorter than the basal deflection of ^^4+5 ; cell 

 1st M^ very small ; basal deflection of Cux before the fork 

 of M a distance about equal to r-m.

It is probable that more material will give the present 

 form full specific rank. 



Gynoplistia claripennis, sp. n. 



General coloration shiny coal-black ; thoracic pleura grey 

 pruinose ; femoral bases broadly yellow ; a broad yellowish- 

 white ring before the tips of the posterior tibias ; wings 

 hyaline, stigma brown ; a faint brown cloud along the cord 

 and at the wing-tip ; hypopygium black, concolorous with 

 the remainder of the abdomen. 



Male. — Length 8*7 mm.; wing 8"3 mm.
