at J ; another, broader, at | containing a very fine reddish 

 line; subterminal indistinct, iDut preceded by grey dentations; 

 cilia pale reddish, apices grey- whitish. 



This species is very distinct by the "red suffusion, but, 

 the posterior legs being absent, it is not possible to be sure 

 that it is not a GymnoHcelis, Type in Coll. Lyell.

Chloroclystis eurylopha, n. sp. 



€vpvXo(fio^, broadly crested, 



(5,9, 15-16 mm. Head pale grey. Palpi 2J; pale grey 

 with a few darker scales. Antennae whitish-grey. Thorax 

 and abdomen grey. Legs ochreous-whitish ; anterior pair 

 mostly grey; outer median spur J. Forewings triangular, 

 costa rather strongly arched, apex round-pointed, termen 

 bowed, oblique; pale grey with numerous, wavy, fuscous, 

 transverse lines more or less distinct; costa of male with a 

 crest of long hairs extending from near base to middle; trans- 

 verse lines in basal half of wing sometimes very indistinct, 

 but sometimes as many as six can be distinguished, all out- 

 wardly curved; a more distinct line from f costa, at first 

 outwardly oblique, forming two short, obtuse, posterior pro- 

 jections ; then inwardly oblique to § dorsum ; several paler 

 indistinct lines follow this; an obscure, pale, dentate, sub- 

 terminal line; a fuscous terminal line, interrupted on veins; 

 cilia pale grey. Hindwings with termen scarcely rounded, 

 irregularly waved ; as forewings. 



This little species requires careful discrimination. The 

 male may be distinguished readily from G. epUopha by the 

 much wider extent of the crest on costal margin of forewing. 

 Between the female of these two species it is hard to give any 

 distinction, but the presence of blackish scales on the veins 

 in the basal part of forewing in epilopha is helpful. The 

 female also somewhat resembles C. insigillata, but the 

 rounded and not waved termen of the hindwing in the latter 

 is in itself sufiicient difference. 



Queensland : Montville, near Nambour, in March ; seven 

 specimens (one male, six females).
