tornus meeting in an acute angle at middisc; a slender transverse outwardly- 

 curved line beyond this ; an intensely black subapical spot ; cilia whitish. Hind- 

 wings linear-lanceolate; whitish; cilia 10, whitish, a fuscous apical dot. 



In this and the following the crown of head is smooth, except for a few

d, 11-12 mm. Head vertically compressed, smooth, fillet projecting

 grey ; beneath white. Legs white ; posterior tarsi with four blackish dots on 

 dorsum. Forewings narrow, apex bent dorsad in a twisted acuminate process; 

 green-brassy and lustrous ; three large, longitudinally oval spots resting on costa, 

 where they are fuscous, becoming greenish-metallic in disc, the first two ex- 

 tending to dorsum ; in certain lights costal part of disc between these spots is 

 tinged with reddish-violet ; cilia beneath apical process grey. Hindwings linear- 

 lanceolate ; grey ; cilia 10, grey. 



It is impossible to give an adequate verbal description of the ever-changing, 

 flashing lustre of this brilliant insect. 



North Queensland : Kuranda, three specimens received from Mr. F. P. Dodd. 



Gen. Coeliometopa, nov. 



/cotXto/ACTojTTo?, with hollowed front. 



Head smooth on crown with a fringe of anteriorly projecting rough scales 

 on fillet ; face smooth, retreating, excavated so as to form a deep concavity. 

 I.abial palpi moderately long, slender, smooth, drooping. Maxillary palpi long,

Queensland: National Park (3,000 feet), in January, one specimen. 



Opogona tristicta^ Meyr. 



I suspect O. calculata, Meyr. (Exot. Micro., ii., p. 287), is a synonvm of 

 this. The number of black dots on forewing is variable. 



North Queensland : Herberton ; Queensland : Duaringa, Nambour, Brisbane. 



Opogona protodoxa, Meyr. 



The colour of the head appears to be variable. I have received two examples, 

 which I cannot distinguish from this species, from Gisborne, with the head yellow.
