DORATIPHORA BRACHYOPA. Low^er. 



(P.L.S., N.S.W., p. 10, 1897.) 



In the female of this species vein 10 is out of 9 considerably 

 before base ; the same peculiarity is observed in euclirij.^a. The 

 male, however, has 9 and 10 starting at the same point, and 

 in one specimen almost separate at base. Palpi short, shortly 

 haired beneath, terminal joint very short, exposed.

 tinations at greatest length 6, very short on terminal half. 

 Forewings elongate, moderate, termen rounded, oblique ; 7 out 

 of 9 near base, 8 and 9 stalked; 10 from just beyond angle of 

 cell, hardly touching 9 ; deep reddish, darker on basal two-
