margin convex, white bordered ; beyond this disc is pale reddish 
brown, darker towards hindmargin, and contains a curved line of 
obscure fuscous dots ; costal tuft dark fuscous; cilia grey, bases 
barred with fuscous, at anal angle white. Hindwings and cilia 
grey. 
Conspicuously distinct. The antennal ciliations are very long 
for this genus, but I do not think it necessary to separate it. 
Vein seven of forewings is distinctly to apex, and the costal tuft 
is characteristic. One specimen; taken near Brisbane by Mr. 
Tllidge. 
TERATOMORPHA, %. 9. 
Head with appressed scales, sidetufts moderate, closely ap- 
pressed. Antenne moderate, basal joint stout, pecten absent, 
ciliations in male unknown. Palpi very long ; second joint very 
long, horizontally porrected, with a brush-like projection of long 
scales on inferior margin from one-third to apex, and a smaller 
brush on middle third of superior margin ; terminal joint shorter, 
ascending, its middle third thickened with loose scales, apical 
third smooth, apex acute. Thorax with a posterior crest. Fore- 
wings moderate ; costa with tufts of scales ;, hindmargin sinuate, 
not oblique ; disc with strong tufts of raised scales. Hindwings 
as broad as forewings, ciliations one-fourth. Abdomen (broken). 
Anterior tibize but slightly thickened. Forewings with vein 7 
to costa, 2 from before angle of cell. Hindwings normal. 
Perhaps an extreme development of Piloprepes. 
TERATOMORPHA COELIOTA, 1. sp. 
Female, 27-50 mm. Head and face ochreous-whitish. Palpi 
whitish ; second joint irrocated with fuscous scales, except on 
tufts; terminal joint with a broad dark-fuscous ring before 
middle, a small fuscous ring beyond middle, and a third at apex. 
Antenne whitish with fuscous annulations. Thorax ochreous- 
whitish with a few dark fuscous scales. Legs ochreous-whitish 
banded with fuscous. Forewings elongate-oblong, costa exca- 
vated in middle and again bafore apex, before each excavation 
is a strong tuft of scales, apex rounded, hind-margin sinuate 
not oblique ; ochreous-whitish ; a broad dark-fuscous band, partly 
interrupted by ground-color, from costa at one-sixth, towards, 
but ceasing abruptly before, middle of disc ; afew scattered dark- 
fuscous scales; a dark-fuscous blotch at apex; in oblique light 
some of the fuscous scales have a metallic iridescence ; cilia fuscous. 
Hindwings ochreous-whitish ; a dark-fuscous spot at apex ; cilia 
ochreous-whitish, at apex fuscous. 
This curious species is evidently a mimic of birds’ droppings. 
Bowen, North Queensland, two specimens in the collection of 
the Brisbane Museum.
