terminal half very short. Abdomen dark fuscous. Fore- 

 wings elongate, moderate, costa faintly sinuate in middle; 10 

 from a point with 9 ; dark fuscous ; a narrow ochreous streak 

 along costa; a well-marked irregularly shaped bright orange- 

 ferruginous spot above innermargin at one-third ; some 

 ochreous scales along termen ; cilia dai^k fuscous, with 

 ochreous-whitish spots towards base. Hindw^ngs with termen 

 rounded ; 6 and 7 from a point ; blackish-fuscous ; cilia as in 

 forewings. 



This species could form the type of a new genus on account 

 of the palpi and neuration. but in the absence of further mate- 

 rial I place it in Doratiphora. 



Mackay, Queensland ; one Sjpecimen, in poor condition, in 

 November. 



DOKATIPHORA ( ?) ORDINATA, Butler. 



{Doratipliora ordinata. Butl.. T.E.S., Lond.. 388, 1886.) 



I hesitate to refer this species to Doratiphnra, veins 7 and 



10 are both separate from 9 ; in other respects it agrees witli- 



the genus. I have only the female. 



Townsville and Cooktown. Queensland. 



Lethocephala eremospila, n. sp. 



Male, 30 mm. Head, thorax, palpi, abdomen, and legs 

 deep mahogany-red, thorax darker in middle, terminal joint of 

 palpi reddish-orange, all tarsi with broad ochreous rings. An- 

 tennae reddish, bipectinated to apex, gradually narrowed on 

 apical portion, at greatest length 6, pectinations ochreous. 

 Forewings elongate, moderate, costa straight, termen obliquely- 

 bowed ; 7 and 9 free a ipoint or closely appromximated at base : 

 10 separate, from just beyond angle; deep mahogany-red; a 

 short black strongly outwardly oblique streak on innermargin 

 at one-third only reaching to vein 1 ; cilia deep mahogany-red, 

 terminal half fuscous, separation obscure. Hindwings with 

 termen round ; 6 and 7 stalked ; ochreous-reddish, thickly 

 clothed with reddish hairs along innermargin ; cilia as in fore- 

 wings. 



Not unlike specimens of the preceding genus, but the an- 

 tennae are different, in addition to neuration. 



^Nlackay. Queensland ; two specimens, in October. 



Lethocephala callidesma. Lower. 



(Ti-ans. Roy Soc, S.A., p. 153, 1896.) 



I formerly queried the generic location of this species, but 

 I think it rightlv referred.
