PHILOBOTA SOPHIA, 7. sp. 
Male, 19-25 mm. Head orange-yellow. Face dark fuscous. 
Palpi second joint dark fuscous, apex yellowish ; terminal joint 
pale yellowish. Antenne dark fuscous. Thorax orange-yellow, 
with a central fuscous spot. Abdomen dark fuscous, tuft ochre- 
ous. Legs dark fuscous ; posterior tibiz and tarsi pale ochreous 
on upper surface. Forewings elongate, somewhat dilated pos- 
teriorly, costa gently arched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin 
obliquely rounded ; white; a broad hindmarginal streak, and 
middle half of costa orange-yellow ; extreme base dark fuscous ; 
from this a broad dark fuscous streak extends at first on, and 
then just beneath, costa to three-fifths ; a similar inwardly oblique 
streak from costa before middle, terminating abruptly on fold at 
one-third ; between this and base is an orange-yellow streak in 
costal portion of dise ; from oblique streak just above fold pro- 
ceeds a longitudinal streak twice bent in dise at two-thirds, and 
prolonged to apex; a streak from before apex to anal angle, 
sometimes connected with the preceding above anal angle, cilia 
at apex dark fuscous, thence orange-yellow. Hindwings grey ; 
cilia ochreous. 
A very distinct and handsome species, nearer to P. zda, Lower. 
than to any other. Armidale (3500ft.), New South Wales. three 
specimens in October. 
PHILOBOTA OCULARIS, ”. sp. 
Male and female, 16-17 mm. Head, face, thorax, and palpi 
pale yellow. Antenne greyish. Abdomen grey. Legs fuscous. 
Forewings moderate, not dilated, costa gently arched, apex round- 
pointed, hindmargin nearly straight, slightly oblique; pale yellow ; 
costal edge fuscous, darker towards base; a very strongly in- 
wardly-curved fuscous fascia from costa at five-sixths to anal 
angle ; hindmarginal edge narrowly fuscous ; cilia fuscous. Hind- 
wings and cilia fuscous-grey. 
Differs from the rest of the genus in the short antennal cilia- 
tions of the male (one-half); but it does not appear necessary to 
separateit at present. There is a strong antennal pecten, and second 
joint of palpi considerably exceeds base of antennz. Specifically it 
resembles Coesyra ocellaris, Meyr. Charters Towers (Queensland), 
two specimens in March.
