rangular spot before middle, larger towards dorsum, un- 

 equally divided by a fine fuscous line on median vein; a 

 rounded spot at |, nearer costa than dorsum; cilia fuscous,, 

 apices pale-ochreous. Hindwings with termen rounded^ 

 slightly sinuate ; orange-ochreous ; an antemedian spot and 

 a broad terminal band dark-fuscous; cilia as forewings. 



Type in Coll. Lyell. 



N.Q., Cooktown ( ?) ; one specimen. 



Genus Ccelobathra, nov. 

 (Koilobathros, with hollowed base.) 



Head with slight rounded prominence. Palpi porrect ;. 

 second joint slightly ascending, terminal joint bent forward, 

 well developed. Maxillar}^ palpi hliform. Antennae of d 

 minutely ciliated. Posterior tibiae of d with outer middle' 

 spur rudimentary, outer end-spur J inner. Forewings of 

 d with large fovea on upper surface near base, frenulum and 

 retinaculum well developed, costal portion of hindwings ex- 

 panded near base to cover under-surface of fovea; vein 10 

 separate. Hindwings with 5 approximated at base to 4, 7 

 anastomosing with 8 to near apex. 



A peculiar genus. The partial obsolescence of posterior 

 tibial spurs recalls Phlyctcenia, but the long anastomosis of 

 vein 7 of hindwings, together with the fovea on forewings of 

 (S , remove it from that genus.
