Fam. COPROMORPHIDAE. 



Hypertropha tortriciformis, Gn. 



North Queensland : Claudie River, in December, one specimen, differing 

 from the typical form in having the hindwings fuscous, except for a rather 

 small orange median spot. This may represent a local race or subspecies. 



Fam. AMPHITHERIDAE. 



Amphithera heteroleuca. Turn. 



Having obtained a series of this species from the National Park. Queens- 

 land. I am satisfied that A. }iio)istn(osa. Turn., is the same species. It differs 

 only in the less development of white apices to the forewings. and this differs 

 in individual specimens.
