GLYPHIPTERYGID. 
SIMTHIS CHIONODESMA, N. sp. 
Female, 12 mm. Head, thorax, and antenne dark-fuscous. 
Antenne annulated with whitish-ochreous. Thorax beneath 
ochreous. Palpi ochreous ; anterior legs ochreous, banded with 
blackish. (Abdomen broken.) Forewings short, triangularly 
dilated ; costa arched, more strongly towards apex ; apex round- 
pointed ; hindmargin obliquely rounded, hardly sinuate beneath 
apex ; deep purple-fuscous ; a straight, broad, whitish, transverse 
band, from one-third costa to one-third inner-margin, containing 
a yellow streak throughout, posteriorly slightly fuscous-edged ; 
anterior edge of band straight, posterior edge somewhat denticu- 
late, and with a sharply-marked indentation above middle ; cilia 
fuscous, with two broad yellow teeth, one below apex, the other 
just below middle. Hindwings moderately broad; ochreous- 
fuscous ; two elongate cuneiform orange marks, attenuated at 
base ; one in middle of wing, the other very near inner margin, 
more or less confluent at base ; two large suffused orange blotches, 
placed one at end of each spot, and almost touching hindmargin ; 
cilia as in forewings. 
One specimen taken in Botanic Gardens, Brisbane, Queensland, 
in January. The specimen before me not being in the best of 
condition, this description may require extension ; for instance, 
there appears to be a short whitish mark on inner margin near, 
but I am inclined to think this is caused by the denudation of 
scales, yet it seems a natural marking ; there also appears to be 
a blackish dot in the transverse band, but the setting-needing 
has pierced the mark, and obliterated all but a trace of black. 
SIME#THIS OPHIOSEMA, N. Sp. 
Female, 14 mm. Head, thorax, antennz, and abdomen dark- 
fuscous. Thorax with a narrow, pale-yellow anterior band, 
posteriorly edged with a band of fuscous. Antenne annulated 
with white. Abdomen with a median orange blotch. Legs and 
palpi ochreous-yellow ; palpi tinged with blackish ; anterior tarsi 
ringed with blackish. Forewings triangularly dilated ; costa 
arched ; hindmargin irregularly rounded, hardly sinuate beneath 
apex ; dark-fuscous, with fuscous irregular markings; a dull- 
whitish basal patch ; a similarly colored, slightly curved, trans- 
verse band, edges denticulate, separated from basal patch by a 
narrow, wavy, dull, orange-ochreous band, sharply edged on either 
side by a fine black line; another very irregular, dull-whitish 
band, running from before apex to anal angle, abruptly curved 
inwards, and containing two or three sharp teeth on lower half 
anteriorly ; anterior to these teeth the ground color is darker, 
causing the markings to become more distinct on the upper half ;
