post'Tiiedian series of similar but smaller spots; cilia, pale 

 ochreous. 



In the absence of the male the correct generic position can- 

 not be assured, but in all probability it is lightly referred. 



The curious wedge-shaped mark on underside of forewings is 

 distinctive. 



Perth, Western Australia ; one specimen in November. We 

 have seen others from the same locality. 



48. Trapezites paraphaes, n. sp. 



Female, 25 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, legs, and 

 abdomen dark fuscous, head and thorax clothed with mode- 

 rately long yellowish hairs, antennae spotted with white be- 

 neath, palpi whitish beneath. Forewings elongate-triangular, 

 termen gently bowed, oblique ; dark fuscous, with ochreous 

 markings ; basal hairs ochreous ; costal edge ochreous ; a small 

 quadrate S|pot in posterior extremity of cell ; a second, similar, 

 lying at base of veins 3 and 4 ; a third immediately below 

 second, and a fourth resting on vein 1 at two-thirds from base ; 

 an oblique transverse series of three sub-apical spots, upper 

 smallest; ciliai ochreous. Hindwings with termen rounded; 

 color cilia and basal hairs as in forewings, but basal hairs more 

 dense and continued along dorsum. Under side : Forewings 

 ochreous, markings of upper side, except spot on vein 1 re- 

 produced ; absent in some specimens ; a large cuneiform black 

 patch occupying upper five-sixths of wing, apex directed to 

 base. Hindwings ochreous, somewhat tinged with reddish ; 

 two series (supra-median and sub-median) of obscure dull red- 

 dish spots; cilia of both wings as above. 



Closely allied to the preceding, differing in its smaller size, 

 coloring, and different shaped wings. The descriptions of this 

 and the preceding read much alike, but the insects when 

 placed side by side are quite distinct in appearance and easily 

 separable. 



Perth, Western Australia ; one specimen received from Mr. 

 Reid, taken in November. Mr. G. A. Waterhouse has a male 

 specimen from King George's Sound. It differs only in the 

 absence of spots on under side of forewings.

 ffg. 7, 1881.)
