Chillagoe, North Queensland. One specimen; taken in 

 February, by Mr. F. Dodd. 

 Type in Coll. Lyell. 



Hesperilla leucostigma, M. and L., var. parasema, nov. 



var. 



Having received further specimens of this species I think 

 it advisable to give the Northern form a varietal name as 

 above. It differs from the typical leucostigma by the absence 

 in both sexes of the cellular spot, or at the least very faintly 

 indicated. I have not met with intermediate forms. 



All the specimens under review were taken at Cairns 

 and Kuranda, Queensland. 



Type in Coll. Lower. 



Hesperilla tymbophora, M. and L.

 dark-fuscous, palpi whitish beneath, antennae annulated with 

 ochreous beneath, thorax and abdomen clothed with fine 

 ochreous hairs. (Legs broken.) Forewings elongate, mode- 

 rate ; costa slightly arched at base, thence straight ; termen 

 bowed, oblique ; dark-fuscous, with purple reflections ; basal 

 hairs dull-orange ; markings pale-yellow ; a moderate spot in 

 end of cell, indented on either side ; a moderate quadrate 

 spot at base of veins 2 and 3 ; a smaller and more elongate 

 spot immediately above and slightly beyond ; a subcostal series 

 of 3 small dots placed obliquely at | from base ; cilia deep- 

 dull orange, barred with black at extremities of veins. Hind- 

 wings without markings ; colour and cilia as in forewings. 

 Underside of both wings dull-fuscous, more or less minutely 

 irrorated throughout with yellowish, especially hind wings ; 

 markings of upperside reproduced on forewings, hindwings 

 with a very obscure curved series of 3 or 4 dull -ochreous spots 

 at I from base. 



Mount Kembla, New South Walps. One specimen. 



Type in Coll. Waterhouse. 



Hesperilla monotherma. Low. 



TpAP8io monotherm, Low. T.R.S.S.A., p. 169, 1907. 

 I think it better to regard this species as the Northern 

 form of ornata, Leach. The name is misprinted uionotherm. 



Telicota brachydesma, n. sp. 



J , 28 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, and abdomen dark- 

 fuscous, more or less densely clothed with orange hairs, palpi 

 beneath dull-orange or yellow. Antennae dark-fuscous. Legs
