In colour and pattern this so nearly resembles Tinea 

 ■scystidophoea, Meyr., as to suggest that it is a mimic of that 

 species. 



Nab. — Queensland: Kuranda, in September; Atherton ; 

 two specimens. 



Coesyra lochmaea, n. sp. (Aoyju.cuos, haunting the forest). 



9 , 13 mm. Head pale-yellow. Palpi pale-yellow, fus- 

 cous externally towards base. Antennae ochreous-whitish 

 annulated with fuscous, towards base wholly fuscous. Thorax 

 fuscous with a pale-yellow posterior spot. Abdomen grey, 

 on dorsum suffused with ochreous, beneath whitish-ochreous. 

 Legs fuscous irrorated, and tarsi annulated, with whitish- 

 ochreous ; posterior pair whitish-ochreous. Forewings not 

 dilated, costa rather strongly arched, apex rounded, termen 

 obliquely rounded ; pale-yellow ; markings fuscous ; a streak 

 along costa to \ ; a dot in disc before middle, a second on fold 

 rather before first, and a third in disc beyond middle ; a 

 broad suffused fascia from mid-costa to fold, connected with 

 dorsum at -§ ; a line from before apex at first inwardly curved, 

 then running along lower half of termen ; a few scattered 

 fuscous scales in posterior half of disc; cilia pale-yellow. 

 Hindwings ovate-lanceolate; grey; cilia grey. 



Near phaeocosma, Meyr., from which it may be dis- 

 tinguished by the fuscous thorax. 



Hab. — Queensland: Mount Tambourine, in October; one 

 specimen. 



Coesyra diadela, n. sp. (SidSrjXos, conspicuous). 



S , 18 mm. Head yellow. Palpi whitish-ochreous; 

 second joint pale-fuscous, except towards base. Antennae 

 pale-fuscous ; ciliations in male 2|. Thorax yellow, 

 apex of patagia and a posterior spot purple-fuscous. 

 Abdomen ochreous-fuscous. Legs fuscous ; posterior pair 

 ochreous-whitish. Forewings bright-yellow ; a narrow basal 

 purple-fuscous fascia, prolonged as a costal streak to beyond 

 middle ; a large terminal blotch limited by an inwardly-curved 

 line from § costa to § dorsum, brownish-fuscous with two 

 violet-purple blotches and terminal line ; cilia grey with apical, 

 subapical, and sub-basal fuscous lines. Hindwings and cilia 

 grey. 



Allied to euchrysa, Low., and catoptnna , Meyr., but 

 in the former the thorax is wholly fuscous, in the latter 

 fuscous anteriorly and yellow posteriorly. It differs from 

 both in the longer antennal ciliations. 



Hab. — Queensland: Brisbane, in September; one 

 specimen.
