bright orange ; a very broad fuscous suffusion, occupying three- 
fourths of wing, suffusedly continued along hindmargin to base ; 
cilia orange (imperfect). | 
One specimen from dense scrub in December, at Mackay, 
Queensland. This is another doubtful species. It partakes of all 
the characters of Dipterina, excepting the palpi, the terminal 
joint of which is exposed, which I consider sufficient to remove 
it from that genus. It does not agree with the genus Tortriz, 
through the stalking of veins six and seven of the hindwings. 
The specimen being a female, it admits of no definite decision in 
regard to the antennal characters. In general appearance it is 
not unlike Scolzoplecta comptana, Walk. 
ATYCHIAD. 
ATYCHIA ANTHOMERA, N. Sp. 
Male, 12 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, and abdomen fuscous. 
Thorax beneath ochreous-whitish. Antenne black at kase, 
beneath ochreous-white. Abdomen with faint whitish segmental 
rings; ana] tuft fuscous, mixed with yellow. Forewings 
moderate, short ; costa almost straight; apex rounded. Hind- 
margin obliquely rounded, dark-fuscous; a faint somewhat 
hyaline yellowish spot in disc at two-thirds, hardly perceptible in 
some specimens; cilia yellowish with a median line of dark 
fuscous somewhat dotted with yellow. Hindwings yellow, with 
a broad blackish hindmarginal band, occupying nearly half of 
wing, broadest at apex ; cilia as in forewings. The whole of the 
discal area of forewings is suffused with light-yellow on the under- 
side. 
Nearest /ewcopis, Meyr., but widely different by the yellow 
hindwings. Three specimens at Rockhampton, Queensland, in 
April. 
ATYCHIA DESMOTOMA, Nn. sp. 
Male, 25mm, Head, antenne, palpi, thorax, abdomen, and legs 
dark-fuscous. Palpi ochreous-white beneath. Abdomen with 
faintly indicated whitish segmental rings. Forewings moderate ; 
costa nearly straight; apex rounded; hindmargin obliquely 
rounded ; dark glossy-fuscous, with a faintly indicated yellow spot 
in disc at two-thirds ; a hardly perceptible whitish suffusion im- 
mediately beyond, seemingly continued as a transverse fascia to 
inner margin; cilia dark-fuscous. Hindwings dark-fuscous; a 
roundish yellow spot just below costa at about middle ; two more 
of same color somewhat suffused and confluent, running from 
near beyond first to middle of inner margin, the three forming a 
band, cut by ground-color between first and second ; cilia light- 
yellow. The whole of the markings are more prominent on the
