The best points of distinction from H. myriosemus appear to be the shape 

 of the forewings, their wholly white cilia, the absence of blackish dots on 

 terminal edge beneath apex, and the almost invariable restriction of the sub- 

 dorsal dots to three. 



North Queensland: Townsville, in July and August (Dodd) ; Queensland: 

 Brisbane, in August ; Coolangatta, in January and April ; ten specimens. 



Atteva hesychima, n. sp. 



r)crvx'-f^o<;, quiet. 



$ , 32 mm. Head orange. Palpi fuscous ; second joint with basal and 

 apical whitish rings. Antennae grey. Thorax whitish ; a fuscous spot on base 

 of each patagium and another just before posterior apex. Abdomen whitish; 

 a large fuscous spot on dorsum of each segment. Legs grey ; posterior pair 

 grey-whitish. Forewings elongate, slightly dilated posteriorly, costa strongly 

 arched, apex rounded, termen obliquely rounded ; whitish ; a broad grey costal 

 streak from base, narrowing to a point at f ; a broad grey dorsal streak from j, 

 narrowing to a point before tornus ; a terminal fascia, broadest at apex, not 

 reaching tornus, grey, near apex suffused with fuscous ; a fuscous spot on 

 base of costa, one above and another beneath fold near base, two on edge of 

 costal streak at middle and f , one on fold at -3^ resting on dorsal streak, another 

 at -| in a line with this, one posterior and between the last and second subcostal 

 spot, a third subcostal, three close together in a line above tornus ; cilia fuscous- 

 grey. Hindwings broader (1^); grey; cilia grey-whitish becoming whitish 

 on tornus and dorsum. 



In the type 8 and 9 of forewing are stalked on one side, separate on the 

 other. 



Queensland: National Park (2,500 feet), in December, one specimen. 



Ethmia olbista, n. sp. 



oA/3tcrT09, most happy. 

 d , $ , 16-20 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax blackish. Antennae blackish, 

 in male minutely ciliated. Abdomen blackish ; tuft ochreous ; underside in 

 female ochreous towards apex. Legs blackish ; hairs on posterior tibiae yellow. 

 Forewmgs elongate-oval, costa strongly arched, apex rounded, termen obliquely 

 rounded, dark fuscous ; a blackish discal dot in middle at f, more or less 

 distinct ; rarely this is preceded by a similar dot before middle ; cilia dark 

 fuscous. Hindwings elongate, as broad as forewings ; orange-yellow ; a large 

 blackish apical blotch ; cilia blackish, towards tornus and on dorsum yellow. 



Queensland: Bunya Mountains (3,500 ft.), in October, seven specimens. 

 This pretty little species was rather common on the upper slopes of Mount 

 MowbuUan. 



Tanaoctena ooptila. Turn. 



Queensland: National Park (2,500 feet), in December, one worn specimen, 

 which I refer to this species ; the first discal dot is expanded into a small fuscous 

 blotch. In this genus the antennae of male are bipectinated (not unipectinated 

 as stated in my diagnosis), and the forewings have 8, 9, 10 stalked. 



Gen. Lissochroa, nov. 



Atcro-oxpoos, smooth skinned. 



Head smooth with some loose anterior scales between antennae. Tongue 

 present. Palpi smooth, slender, porrect ; terminal joint shorter than second. 

 Maxillary palpi obsolete. Antennae about §, basal joint long and flattened to 

 form a rudimentary eyecap. pecten strongly developed. Posterior tibiae smooth. 

 Forewings with 2 from shortly before angle, 3 and 4 stalked from angle, 5 from
