Northern Queensland : Kuranda, near Cairns, in January; 

 one specimen received from Mr. F. P. Dodd. Also from New 

 Guinea. 



Gren. Cyneoterpna, Prout. 

 Atitanepsia, Turn., praeocc. 

 Type C. wilsoni, Feld. 



Gren. Hemichloreis, Turn. 



Hemichloreis theata, Turn. 

 New South Wales : Taree. 



Gen. Crypsiphona, Meyr. 



In my revision I made C . melanosema the type of the 

 genus. This was unfortunate, as Mr. Prout has pointed out, 

 nor do I think it can be maintained. Although Mr. Meyrick 

 did not specify the type, the name he has given to the genus 

 (Kpox{/Lcf>u)vo^, with hidden colour) clearly indicates that he 

 intended occultaria as the type.
