O. eremwa, Meyr., from Toowoomba. 
OECOPHORA SPHAEROIDES, 7”. Sp. 
Female, 14-15 mm. Head and face ochreous-whitish. Palpi 
ochreous-whitish ; terminal joint and basal tkird of second 
joint fuscous. Antenne ochreous-whitish annulated with fuscous. 
Thorax fuscous. Abdomen ochreous-fuscous. Legs ochreous- 
whitish ; anterior pair fuscous. Forewings moderate, costa rather 
strongly arched, apex rounded, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; 
ochreous-whitish ; a fuscous spot at base of costa ; a dark fuscous 
dot in dise at one-third, a second obliquely below first on fold, 
two confluent dots placed transversely in disc at two-thirds; a 
dark fuscous dot at anal angle ; a fuscous shade in outer part of 
disc, sharply limited anteriorly by an outwardly oblique, out- 
wardly curved line from costa beyond middle through posterior 
discal dots to before anal angle; posteriorly this shades off into 
ground colour ; a submarginal line of confluent dark fuscous dots 
along posterior one-third of costa and hindmargin ; cilia ochreous- 
whitish, at anal angle pale fuscous. Hindwings and cilia grey. 
Brisbane ; two specimens taken by Mr. Illidge. 
OECOPHORA HEMILEUCA, %. Sp. 
Female, 17 mm. Head and face snow-white. Palpi white; 
basal half of second joint fuscous. Antenne dark fuscous. Thorax 
dark fuscous, with a large snow-white posterior spot. Abdomen 
ochreous-whitish. Legs ochreous-whitish. Forewings elongate, 
costa almost straight, apex tolerably acute, hindmargin very 
obliquely rounded ; snow-white ; a broad fuscous streak from 
base along costa to one-third ; thence proceeds a fuscous fascia, 
slightly outwardly oblique, to inner margin before middle, its 
anterior edge sharply defined, posterior edge suffused ; a darker 
dot on fold in posterior edge of this fascia ; a broad fuscous fascia 
from costa near apex, narrowing abruptly to a point at anal 
angle ; between the two fasciz are some obscure fuscous markings 
in costal portion of disc ; a fuscous spot on hindmargin below 
middle ; cilia fuscous, just above anal angle ochreous-whitish. 
Hindwings grey, basal half whitish-ochreous ; cilia, apical third 
fuscous, remainder whitish-ochreous. 
Very distinct. In the absence of the male the generic position 
of this species cannot be exactly determined. In the specimen 
examined, which is rather worn, I cannot distinguish any 
trace of a pecten ; further observation will be required to deter- 
mine whether this is really absent. Brisbane; one specimen 
taken by Mr. Illidge.
