Very similar in appearance to some species of Gracilaria. It 
has the same rest-attitude. Brisbane ; taken commonly on a 
fence from September to November ; probably from an adjacent 
thicket of Acacia Cunninghami. 
(ECOPHORID AL, 
PaLpaRiIA, Wing. 
PALPARIA EURYPTERA, 7. sp. 
Female, 35 mm. Head and face pale ochreous. Palpi with 
tuft of second joint dense, porrected, as long as terminal joint - 
pale ochreous, tuft pinkish, at extremity fuscous ; terminal join: 
pink. Antenne pinkish. Thorax pink. Abdomen whitisl. 
orchreous, beneath pale yellow. Legs dusky pink; posterior 
tibize, except spurs, pale yellowish. Forewings broad, costa 
strongly arched, especially in outer half, apex acute, hindmargin 
oblique, sinuate ; pink, densely irrorated with pale ochreous, 
especially towards hindmargin ; costal edge narrowly ochreous 
from one-fourth to apex; cilia pale ochreous, apical third 
pinkish except on costa and anal angle, towards apex fuscous. 
Hindwings ovate, hindmargin rounded ; whitish-ochreous ;_pos- 
teriorly pinkish tinged ; cilia whitish-yellow, with a pinkish line 
at apex. 
Intermediate between P. lambertella, Wing, and the more 
usual forms of the genus. Brisbane; one specimen taken by 
Mr. I[llidge in October. 
Komystis, Meyr. 
The species referred here has no specific affinity to the type, 
and Mr. Meyrick considers that it should be referred to Helio- 
causta, although it answers to the generic characters of EKomystis, 
which, indeed, are scarcely distinguishable from those of the 
former. 
EurYPELTA, Turner. 
This genus was founded in error on a female specimen, and 
must be withdrawn. 
The species must be referred provisionally to Heliocausta, 
pending the discovery of the male. 
HeEMIBELA, Turner. 
The species on which this genus was fonnded is closely allied 
to Ocystola tyranna, Meyr., with which it agrees in the extremely 
short terminal joint of the palpi. It must therefore be provi- 
sionally referred to that genus. Perhaps eventually it may be 
found necessary to divide the genus Ocystola, in which case the 
above genus may be retained.
