rounded, termen rounded; costal hairs yellow: pale-yellow, 

 darker towards base ; all veins more or less outlined with fer- 

 ruginous ; basal patch obsolete ; median patch ferruginous, 

 rather obscure, edges irregularly waved, anterior edge from 

 before middle of costa to middle of dorsum : posterior edge 

 from f costa to beyond middle of dorsum : costal edge between 

 posterior edge of median patch and apex with 4 or 5 equi- 

 distant ferruginous spots ; a fine interrupted line of ferrugin- 

 ous along termen; cilia pale-yellow. Hindwings transparent; 

 pale-greyish, sprinkled with yellow ; all veins outlined with 

 orange-yellow ; dorsal hairs bright-orange-yellow ; cilia grey-

Kuranda, Queensland. One specimen ; in December. 



Leptarthra hemicosma, n. sp. 



d , 12 mm. Head, face, and palpi bright-yellow, basal 

 joint of palpi fuscous externally, crown fuscous-reddish. An- 

 tennae fuscous-reddish. Thorax fuscous-reddish, patagia 

 bright-yellow. Abdomen dark-fuscous. Legs fuscous, tarsi 

 banded with whitish. Forewings elongate, moderate, costa 

 gently arched, apex rounded, termen nearly straight ; 3 from 

 angle, 8 and 9 approximated at base ; bright clear yellow, 

 costa very finely strigulated throughout with reddish-fuscous ; 

 a large reddish-fuscous apical patch, occupying posterior f 

 of wing, anterior edge limited by a curved fine waved fus- 

 cous line, from costa at |- to dorsum beyond middle ; within 

 the patch are two or three short longitudinal streaks of paler 

 and scattered fuscous strigulations ; an interrupted blackish 

 line along termen ; cilia light-reddish-fuscous. Hindwings and 

 cilia smoky-brown ; cilia with a greyish basal line. 



Very like some species of Chryso?yctis (TineidceJ. The 

 approximation of veins 8 and 9 at base I regard as specific 

 only; in all other respects it agrees with Leptarthra, Low. 



Kuranda, North Queensland. Two specimens ; in Octo- 

 ber (Dodd). 



L. metallocosma, Low. 

 Tortrix m-etaUocosma, Low. 



Having obtained further specimens for examination I 

 refer the above to Leptarthra. 



DiCHELIA LUNIFERA, U. Sp.

 palpi whitish internally. Antennae fuscous. Legs greyish, 

 tibiae and tarsi infuscated. Abdomen grey. Forev/ings elong-
