Coesyra euryzona, ii. sp. (ev/w£a>vos, broadly girdled). 



S , 9 j 14-15 mm. Head and palpi yellow. Antennae 

 fuscous. Thorax dark-fuscous with a small yellow posterior 

 spot. Abdomen fuscous. Legs fuscous; posterior pair pale- 

 ochreous. Forewings slightly dilated, costa slightly arched, 

 apex rounded, termen obliquely rounded ; yellow ; a narrow 

 dark-fuscous basal fascia, continued as a broad streak along 

 costa to -f, where it terminates abruptly (this costal streak 

 is variable and sometimes obsolete, and represented only by 

 a few dark-fuscous scales) ; a purple-fuscous terminal band, 

 bounded by a scarcely curved, somewhat wavy line from 

 costa at f to dorsum at § ; cilia fuscous. Hindwings and 

 cilia dark-grey. 



Somewhat variable in respect to the costal streak, of 

 which, however, some trace is visible in all the specimens I 

 have seen ; in some it is very conspicuous. In Meyrick's 

 tabulation it would fall with (' . cat optima, Meyr., from which 

 it may be distinguished by the differently shaped hindmar- 

 ginal band, which is not mixed with yellow. 



Ilab. — Queensland: Brisbane; nine specimens, taken in 

 January, February, and May.

 tarsi annulated with ochreous-whitish. Forewings yellow ; a 

 small fuscous basal patch, narrowly and shortly produced on 

 costa ; a broad fuscous-purple apical band, bounded by an 

 inwardly-curved line from § costa to f dorsum, a broad steely- 

 blue lustrous line on lower § of inner edge visible only in 

 oblique light ; cilia fuscous. Hindwings ochreous-grey ; cilia 



Ilab. — Queensland: Brisbane, in December; one
