dOU REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



?. 62-76 mm. Head, thorax, abdomen, and wings whitish-grey. Forewings 

 with termen not sinuate; hindwings with tornus less prominent; markings as in 

 (S, but less defined.

From a number of pupae sent me by Mr. W. B. Barnard, I have bred out 

 a series of examples which have convinced me that this is a distinct species, and 

 not a local race of A. magnifiea. It is smaller (c?. 65-68 mm. 2. 75-90 mm.) ; 

 the abdomen is reddish-orange on dorsum in both sexes; the post-median line on 

 forewing-s usually touches the second diseal spot; the subterminal lines on both 

 wings have the dentations very deep; the hindwings of d' are mostly whitish- 

 yellow.

 CunnamuUa; Viet.: Lake Hattah; S. Aust.: Koolunga; W. Aust.: Beverley. 



Anthela magnitioa. 



Darala magnifiea, Luc, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1891, p. 286.— Anthela 

 tritonea, Swin., Trans. Ent. Soc, 1903, p. 448. 



My description of this species included the preceding, and should be amended 

 as follows:— J. 86-100 mm. ?. 92-108 mm. Abdomen in d' whitish towards 

 apex on dorsum, never reddish-orange. Forewings of ? acute; post-median line 

 well posterior to second median spot; subterminal line moderately dentate. Hind- 

 wings of c? yellowish near base only; subterminal line in both sexes only slightly 

 dentate. 



Qland.: Duaringa; W. Aust.: Beverley, Northam; N.W. Aust.: Derby. 



'This species has not yet been recorded from the interior, but doubtless will 

 be. 



Anthela tetrapheica. 



Anthela tetraphrica, Turn., Proc Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xlvi., 1921, p. 181. 



<S. 50 mm. Head dark-fuscous; face pale-ochreous. Palpi dark-fuscous; 

 antennae reddish-brown, pectinations fuscous. Thorax dark-fuscous; tegulae 

 pale-ochreous. Abdomen dark-fuscous, bases of apical segments narrowly 

 whitish. Legs fuscous. Forewings triangular, eosta straight, slightly arched 

 towards apex, apex subreetangular, termen bowed, oblique; whitish, densely 

 irrorated with fuscous, median area brownish-tinged; a slightly dentate, out- 

 wardly curved line from one-sixth costa to one-fourth dorsum; a similar line 

 from one-third costa, joining preceding on dorsum; between these a small cir- 

 cular, brownish, subcostal spot, outlined with dark-fuscous; a similar spot be- 

 neath mid-costa; a dark- fuscous, nearly straight line from two-thirds costa to 

 three-fourths dorsum, followed by a brownish lipe, and this by a very broad 

 dark-fuscous line, which is edged posteriorly by whitish; cilia whitish mixed with 

 fuscous. Hindwings with termen rounded ; whitish unevenly irrorated with 

 fuscous; a fuscous diseal spot at one-third; median and post-median transverse 

 fuscous lines, the latter very distinct, and followed by two suffused whitish lines. 

 Underside grey; a fuscous post-median line on both wings; two diseal spots on 

 forewing, one on hindwing, the last with whitish centre. 



More brightly coloured and with darker markings than the S type. One c7 

 collected on the Barclay Expedition to Central Australia by Mr. G. F. Hill at 

 Bulloeky Flat, near the border line in March; now in National Museum, Mel- 

 bourne.
