Allied to Xacoleia, Wlk., from which it is distinguished 

 by the simple antennae of the 6 , and the more slender and 

 acute terminal joint of the palpi. 



Type Semioceros chrysorycta, Meyr. 



Glycythyma chrysorycta. 

 Semioceros chrysorycta, Meyr., Tr. E.S., 1884, p. 320. 

 N.Q., Dank Island and Townsville, in January. Q., 

 Duaringa, Brisbane, in March. 



Glycythyma thymedes, n. sp. 

 (Thumedes, well-pleasing.) 

 d 9 • Head and thorax yellow. Palpi yellow, 

 apex fuscous. Antennae ochreous-fuscous. Abdomen ochre- 

 ous-yellow. Legs whitish-ochreous. Forewings elongate-tri- 

 angular, costa straight, apex rounded, termen bowed, oblique ; 

 yellow ; markings dark-fuscous, clearly defined : a line from 

 costa near base, not reaching dorsum ; a line from J costa to 

 J dorsum, curved outwards in middle; a dot beneath J costa, 

 sometimes absent ; a second reniform costal dot beyond middle, 

 sometimes yellow-centred ; a line from f costa, describing a 

 sigmoid curve more or less strongly, and touching or nearly so 

 lower end of reniform spot, ending on g dorsum ; a terminal 

 line, thickened into a triangular spot above middle : cilia 

 fuscous, sometimes barred with whitish. Hindwings with ter- 

 men rounded; yellow: a fuscous line from | costa to J dor- 

 sum, sometimes interrupted in disc ; a fuscous suffusion at 

 apex ; cilia as forewings. 



Readily distinguished from the preceding by the pre- 

 sence of only a single line on hindwings. 



Type in Coll. Turner. 



N.Q., Townsville, in April ; two specimens. 



Genus Eurybela, nov. 

 {Euruhelos, with broad weapons, i.e., palpi.) 



Frons rounded. Tongue well developed. Palpi rather 

 large, curved upwards, not reaching vertex ; second joint 

 covered with dense long hairs, forming an anteriorly directed 

 dense tuft at apex ; terminal joint short, concealed in hairs 

 of second joint. Maxillary palpi well developed, not dilated 

 at apex. Antennas in d minutely ciliated. Outer tarsal 

 spurs half inner. Forewings with 3, 4, 5, approximated at 

 base, 7 straight and well separated from 8, 9, to which 10 

 is closely approximated. Hindwings with 3, 4, 5, approxi- 

 mated at base, 6, 7 stalked, 7 anastomosing with 8. 



Characterized mainly by the palpi, which do not appear 

 to correspond to any described genus.
