Antennae grey. Thorax fuscous with a white anterior spot. 

 Abdomen grey. Legs whitish-ochreous ; anterior pair fuscous. 

 Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex acute, termen 

 strongly oblique ; fuscous ; a large white blotch on dorsum 

 from base to beyond middle, separated by a fuscous streak 

 from costa, its posterior edge outwardly oblique ; costal edge 

 white; a fuscous discal dot at |, and a second at §, with an 

 elongate white spot between them; a white blotch beyond 

 second discal spot extending from costa to middle of disc ; 

 a white dot on dorsum before tornus ; an interrupted white 

 subterminal line ; cilia fuscous, apical halves white except on 

 costa, apex, and tornus, dorsal cilia ochreous- whitish. Hind- 

 wings and cilia grey. 



Hab. — Queensland: Nambour, in October; Mount Tam- 

 bourine, in October and November; Killarney, in November; 

 eleven specimens, all females. 



Pleurota epitripta, n. sp. («riTpi7TTos, rubbed, worn). 



cf , 13-14 mm. Head whitish-ochreous. Palpi whitish- 

 ochreous, external surface of second joint except apex, and 

 most of terminal joint, fuscous. Antennae grey ; ciliations 

 in male 1. Thorax fuscous irrorated with whitish-ochreous. 

 Abdomen grey. Legs fuscous; posterior pair whitish-ochreous. 

 Forewings moderate, not dilated, costa gently arched, apex 

 acute, termen strongly oblique; pale-fuscous densely irrorated 

 with whitish-ochreous ; a short inwardly-oblique fuscous streak 

 from tornus ; cilia pale-fuscous irrorated with whitish- 

 ochreous. Hindwings and cilia grey. 



In worn specimens the whitish-ochreous irroration may 

 be much denuded. Although so dissimilar I have a suspicion, 

 but no positive evidence, that this and the preceding may be 

 sexes. They are both "scrub" insects, and taken in similar 

 localities. 



Hab. — Queensland: Nambour, in September; Mount 

 Tambourine, in November; Coolangatta, in September and 

 October ; ten specimens, all males.

 surface of second joint white. Antennae whitish, towards 

 apex grey. Thorax dark-fuscous mixed with whitish. 

 Abdomen whitish. Legs greyish-fuscous; posterior pair 

 whitish. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, apex 

 acute, termen straight, very oblique ; whitish irrorated with 

 dark-fuscous, which forms dark streaks between veins ; cilia 

 whitish with a median grey line. Hindwings whitish; along 

 termen whitish-grey ; cilia whitish with a grey line near bases.
