spots; cilia dark-fuscous. HindwingB clark-fuseous ; a terminal series of pale- 

 ocbreous spots; cilia dark-fuseous. 



In this species and the following the sexes are remarkably unlike. 

 N. Qland: Thursday Island, Cape York, Cooktown, Townsville; Qland : 

 Duaringa. 



14. Epicoma dlspar, n.sp. 

 dispar, unlike, dissimilar. 



c?. 38-40 mm. Head pale-fuscous; face ochreous-tinged. Antennae, stalk 

 fuscous irrorated with white; pectinations ochreous-fuscous. Thorax pale- 

 fuscous, with a large central white spot. Abdomen blackish; tuft ochreous, be- 

 coming paler towards apex. Legs dark-fuscous; tarsi annnlated with whitish. 

 Forewings triang-ular, costa straight, apex pointed, termen bowed, oblique; white, 

 with some fuscous irroration; markings fuscous; a tine costal streak; a broad 

 subcostal streak from near base running into post-median line; a thick oblique 

 line from costa before apex to mid-dorsum, bent slightly outwards in middle, 

 and inwards above doi-sum; a narrow terminal band, containing a terminal series 

 of white spots; cilia fuscous, bai'red with white, apices wholly white. Hindwing's 

 with termen rounded; white; cilia white; on dorsum fuscous. 



9. 34 mm. Head, thorax, antennae, and abdomen blackish; tuft pale- 

 ochreous. ForewingB dark-fuscous with scanty whitish-ochreous irroration; a 

 subterminal series of ochreous spots; cilia fuscous, bases dark-fuscous with a few 

 whitish-ochreous scales. Hindwing-s dark-fuseous; a subterminal series of large 

 ochreous spots; cilia as forewings but without whitish-ochreous scales. 



Allied to E. barnardi, the <S may be distinguished by the bent post-median 

 line of forewings and white hindwings, the 2 by the absence of basal white spot 

 on forewings. 



N. Aust. : Darwin in October and November ; three specimens received from 

 Mr. F. P. Dodd, 2 <? and 1 ?, of which two are in Coll. Lyell. 



15. Epicoma phoexuea, n.sp. 



<f>oiyovpos, red-tailed. 



c?. 30-34 mm. ?. 36-38 mm. Head dark-fuseous; face in c? ochreous. 

 Antennae, staUi ochreous, sometimes partly fuscous; pectinations fuscous. Thorax 

 dark-fuseous. Abdomen blackish; basal segment in (? pale ochreous; tuft red- 

 dish, towards apex fuscous. Leg-s fuscous. Forewings triangailar, costa straight, 

 apex round-pointed, termen bowed, oblique; dark-fuscous with scanty whitish- 

 ochreous irroration, especially towards base; a terminal series of whitish- 

 ochreous dots, often obsolete; cilia dark-fuseous. Hindwings with termen 

 rounded; ochreous; a broad transverse median line and a terminal band dark- 

 fuscous, the two often fused; a terminal series of ochreous spots; cilia dark- 

 fuscous. 



Male form alba, 32 mm. Head, antennal stalk, and thorax whitish. Fore- 

 wings whitish; a dark-fuscous broad line from three-fourths costa to dorsum 

 before tornus; a fuscous terminal line containing a series of whitrsh spots; cilia 

 fuscous. Abdomen and hindwings as in typical form. This would be taken for 

 a new species if it had not been captured with the typical fonn (Mary River). 

 I have one example and have seen anothei-. but no intermediates. 



N. Aust.: Darwin (F. P. Dodd); Mary River (W. D. Dodd); six specimens, 

 and I have seen others in the South Australian Museum.
