BY A. JBPFEEIS TURNER. 359 



from before mid-eosta to before mid-dorsum ; post-mediau and subterminal lines 

 of minute fuscous dots on veins; cilia reddish-grey. HindwLng-s with termen 

 rounded; reddish-grey; cilia reddish-grey. 



?. 40 mm. Fuscous-grey. Forewings broadly triangular; thinly scaled; 

 lines fuscous, distinct. Hindwings similar but lines fainter. 



Diffei-s from P. lewinae in shape of forewings, which are not falcate in <S, 

 and proportionately broader in ?. 'llie dorsal marginal fuscous and white spots, 

 conspicuous in the d" of lewinae, are here absent. 



N. Qland: Kuranda, near Cairns, in September and December; 3 -,{?, 1 ? 

 specimens received from Mr. F. P. Dodd. 



Gen. 2. M a l l o d e t a, n.g. 



^aaWoSeros, woolly. 



Palpi obsolete. Forewings with 3 and 4 approximated at origin from lower 

 angle of cell, 5 connate or short-stalked from upper angle, 6, 7, 8, 9 stalked, 10 

 absent. Hindwings with 3 and 4 separate from lower angle of cell, 5 connate 

 or short-stalked from upper angle, 6, 7 stalked, 12 fused with cell towards base. 



3. Mallodeta xtctopa, n.sp. 



vuKTWTTos, dusky. 



6. 34 mm. Head, thorax, abdomen, and legs fuscous-brown. Antennae 

 pale-ochreous ; pectinations 8. Forewings triangular, costa straight to three- 

 fourths, thence strongly arched, apex pointed, slightly produced and falcate, ter- 

 men strongly sinuate, scarcely oblique; fuscous-brown; a dark-fuscous line from 

 mid-costa to mid-dorsum, nearly straight; a second parallel line from three- 

 fourths costa to three-fourths dorsum; a slender, faintly marked, subterminal 

 line; cilia fuscous-brown. Hindwings with termen roimded; colour, lines, and 

 cilia as forewings, but first line before middle, second at two-thirds; some whitish 

 hairs on dorsum above tornus. Underside similar but paler. 



?. 40-44 mm. Antennal pectinations scarcely exceeding 1. Head, thorax, 

 abdomen, and legs dark-fuscous. Forewings with apex less produced, tei-men 

 more oblique ; dark-fuscous, with scarcely any brownish tinge ; rather thinly 

 scaled ; lines indistinct. Hindwings similar. 



Qland: National Park (3,000 ft.) early in March; one c? and 5 ? taken at 

 light. On the preceding January 2nd, I took a hairy larva, which pupated, and 

 emerged as a damaged ? the same month, the emergence having been probably 

 hastened by the greater heat at the lower elevation of Brisbane. 



Gen. 3. G a ,s t r i d i o t a, n.g. 



Tdfl-TpiSioTos, with small abdomen. 



Palpi very short but discernible. Forewings with 1 present, 2 from two- 

 thirds, 3 and 4 approximated at origin or connate from lower angle of cell, 5 from 

 half-way between middle and upper angle, 6 connate or short-stalked from upper 

 angle, 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked, 11 connate or short-stalked. Hindwings with 1 present, 

 3 and 4 connate or short-stalked from lower angle of cell, 5 from above middle, 

 6 and 7 short-stalked, 12 approximated and connected with cell near base. 



I cannot refer this to AndrMa Wlk., which it othei-wise resembles, because 

 Hampson states (Moths Ind., i., p. 40) that in that genus le is absent in both 

 wings.
