ciliations minute. Thorax and abdomen without crests ; thorax 

 slightly hairy beneath. Femora smooth; posterior femora of 

 male dilated with internal groove and tuft. Forewings in 

 male without fovea; 10 and 11 long-stalked, 10 anastomosing 

 with 8, 9 beyond 7. Hindwings with apex produced to a 

 sharp point on vein 7 ; 3 and 4 approximated at origin ; 6 and 

 7 separate, 7 arising before angle of cell, 8 closely ap- 

 proximated to cell for nearly its whole length. 



Probably allied to Tessarotis, Warr., which approaches 

 it closely in wing shape, but has 10 and 11 arising separately. 



PiCROPHYLLA HYLEORA, U. sp. 



vXrjoypos, of the woods. 



<S , 9 > 40 mm. Head fuscous-brown. Palpi IJ; fuscous- 

 brown. Antennae ochreous- whitish, dorsum except towards 

 apex suffused with fuscous-brown. Thorax brown-whitish; a 

 postmedian pair of fuscous dots. Abdomen brown-whitish; 

 paired fuscous dots on dorsum of second and third segments. 

 Legs whitish-ochreous speckled with dark fuscous. Forewings 

 triangular, costa slightly arched, apex acute, produced, 

 termen sinuate beneath apex, angled on vein 4, thence slightly 

 concave to tornus; brown-whitish with sparsely scattered, 

 dark-fuscous, transverse strigulae, more numerous on costa, 

 towards base, and towards termen ; a suffused fuscous line 

 from J costa with two posterior teeth, beneath costa and in 

 middle, obsolete towards dorsum; a fine, straight, fuscous- 

 brown line from costa before apex to | dorsum, succeeded by 

 a parallel row of fuscous dots ; a dark-fuscous discal dot 

 beneath | costa; cilia fuscous, on costa and from beneath 

 apex to angle brown-whitish. Hindwings produced to a 

 sharp point on vein 7, termen beneath this sinuate, thence 

 nearly straight; as forewings with fewer strigalae; without 

 first line; second line median; a subterminal series of fuscous 

 dots; cilia brown-whitish. Underside similar. 



Queensland: Eumundi, near Nambour, in January; 

 National Park (3,000 ft.), in March; two specimens. 



Casbia rhodoptila. Turn. 



In addition to the type I have now a female (26 mm.) 

 from Northern Territory, Darwin (G. F. Hill) without spots 

 on f orewing ; and a male (30 mm.) from Queensland, Strad- 

 broke Island, in August, with discal dot, but without pos- 

 terior spot. The reddish head and tegulae form a good 

 distinguishing mark of this species. In all my three examples 

 vein 11 of fore wing anastomoses with 12.
