28. Antennae in male ciliated Dasyuris 



Antennae in male pectinate Notoreas 



Sauris perophora, n. sp. 



Trrjpocfiopos, bearing a pouch. 



d , 30 mm. Head olive-green. Palpi 3, second joint 

 rough-scaled above and beneath, terminal joint moderately 

 long; olive-green, towards base whitish; terminal joint grey, 

 extreme apex whitish. Antennae ochreous-grey. Thorax 

 olive-green. Abdomen smooth, without tufts; grey, on 

 dorsum greenish tinged. Legs greenish-grey; posterior tibiae 

 in male normally developed but without spurs, tarsi elongate, 

 first tarsal joint as long as tibiae. Forewings elongate- 

 triangular, costa moderately arched, apex pointed, termen 

 long, bowed, oblique, in male not incised ; whitish largely 

 suffused with green and dark fuscous, which form markings; 

 five narrow transverse fasciae, dark fuscous in middle, green 

 towards costa and dorsum, rather ill-defined; first subbasal, 

 second at J, third at J; fourth from | costa, somewhat 

 dentate, consisting of several fine parallel lines, at first curved 

 outwards, then inwards, and bent outwards to just before 

 tornus; fifth similar from f costa to tornus, containing a 

 squarish fuscous spot above middle; a whitish dentate sub- 

 terminal line following fifth fascia; a terminal series of dark- 

 fuscous dots on veins; cilia whitish, apices partly fuscous. 

 Hindwings and cilia grey; in male with a large basal dorsal 

 pouch extending half-way to costa and to tornus, the dorsal 

 edge of this pouch forming an erect concave lobe. 



North Queensland: National Park (3,000 ft.), in March; 

 one specimen at light. I might have taken more if I had 

 not mistaken it for *S'. hirudinata , which it closely resembles 

 in colour, size, and form: In structural characters it is 

 altogether different and resembles S. lichenias rather closely, 

 but the pouch of the hindwings is much larger, the first 

 posterior tarsal joint proportionately longer, and the palpi 

 more roughly scaled, with longer terminal joint.

 small, simple; 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 stalked from areole. Hindwings 

 with 3 and 4 stalked or separate, 6 and 7 stalked, 12 anas- 

 tomosing with cell to f or beyond. Type, C . cymatodes, Meyr.
