coxae reddish tinged. Forewings triangular, costa gently 

 arched, apex acute, termen slightly bowed, oblique; whitish 

 irrorated with fuscous-brown, which forms indistinct lines; a 

 subbasal line from ^ costa, at first outwardly oblique, but bent 

 soon after origin, thence slightly curved to near base of 

 dorsum; antemedian line very indistinct; a fuscous discal dot 

 beneath mid-costa; postmedian very slender, from | costa 

 obliquely outwards, angled beneath costa and in middle, 

 thence to § dorsum; a fairly broad fuscous-brown terminal 

 band, its anterior edge suffused, containing a fine, whitish, 

 wavy, submarginal line; cilia fuscous-brown with pale basal 

 and postmedian lines. Hindwings with termen rounded, 

 slightly wavy; whitish irrorated with fuscous-brown, more 

 densely towards termen; a faint whitish submarginal line; 

 cilia grey, bases and apices paler. Underside whitish with 

 fuscous-brown irroration and discal dots on fore- and hind- 

 wings. 



New South Wales: Mount Kosciusko (5,000 ft.), in 

 March; one specimen. 



DiPLOCTENA PANTOEA, Tum. 



Queensland: National Park (3,000 ft.), in February and 

 March; seven specimens (4 males and 3 females). These are, 

 I consider, conspecific with southern examples, though they 

 agree ill with my description, the species being exceedingly 

 variable. The structure of the male antennae is the same. 

 National Park examples are distinctly green with well-defined 

 basal patch and median band fuscous-brown, but the latter 

 sometimes incomplete; minute white dots are sometimes pre- 

 sent on the subterminal line, and one female has a white 

 dorsal dot in median band. Some examples from Lome and 

 Ebor, though in poor condition, approach these closely, but 

 most of the males from these localities have the forewings 

 almost wholly fuscous-brown.

This synonymy was first given by Swinhoe (Cat. Oxf. 

 Mus., ii., p. 345), but he identified the species with Guenee's 

 cymaria. I believe that Guenee's description clearly applies 

 to one of the forms I still include under suhidaria, Gn. 

 Whether these are really all conspecific is open to doubt, and
