very short. Forewings elongate, moderate, ternieii obliquely 

 rounded ; 10 out of 9 before base, or from a point with 9 ; 

 greyish-ochreous ; darker on basal tliird ; costal edge pale 

 ochreous ; a dark reddish-fuscous mark on innermargin at one- 

 third; a second, similar, obliquely above, more or less joined 

 to preceding ; a similarly colored larger spot in middle of disc, 

 at two-thirds from base ; cilia greyish-ochreous, with a dull 

 reddish-ochreous basal line. Hindwings with] termen rounded ; 

 6 and 7 stalked ; pale reddish ; darker along inner margin ; 

 cilia as in forewings. 



Allied to preceding ; diJffers in color and markings. 



Derby, Western Australia ; two specimens, in October. 



DORATIPHORA ( ?) LIOSARCA, U. Sp, 



Male 24 mm. Head, thorax, palpi, antennae, legs, and 

 abdomen pale fleshy red. Antenuce bipectinated to apex, pec- 

 tinations at gi'eatest length 6, gradually becoming shorter on 

 terminal half. Forewnngs elongate, moderate, costa hardly 

 arched, termen obliquely rounded ; 8 and 9 out of 7 near base ; 

 10 from beyond angle of cell, not connected with 9 ; pale 

 fleshy-red, without markings; cilia pale ochreous, with an 

 ochreous basal line. Hindwings with i^ermen rounded; pale 

 ochreous-reddish, cilia as in forewings. 



Differs from two preceding species by absence of markings. 



The different form of the antennae from most of the pre- 

 viously described Sjpecies makes this species rather discordant, 

 but its apparent affinity renders it necessary to place it here. 

 I have what I consider the female, in which the antennae is also 

 bipectinated to apex, pectinations 2, but it is not in a condition 

 to decide with certainty. Should it prove so, then a new 

 genus ^vill be necessary, as although it agrees in structure 

 fairly well the antennae would remove it from this genus. 



Derby, Western Austrlia ; four specimens, in poor condition, 

 in November. 



DORATIPHORA SPHENOSEMA, U. Sp. 



Male. 30 mm. Head, thorax, legs, and abdomen deep maho- 

 gany-red, tarsi ringed with ochreous. Palpi deep reddish, 

 internally ochreous. Antennae reddish, bipectinated to aipex, 

 pectinations ochreous, at gi-eatest length 6, terminal half veiy 

 short. Forewings elongate, moderate, termen obliquely 

 rounded ; ochreous reddish ; 10 from just beyond angle of cell, 

 not touching 9 : a short oblique fuscous streak from inner 

 margin at one-third, reaching one-fourth across wing, edged by 

 its own width of obscure grey; a moderate reddish spot in 

 middle of disc, at two-thirds from base ; cilia reddish-grey.
