the latter with whitish points, internal surface whitish. 

 Antennae pale-grey; ciliations in male 4. Thorax crimson, 

 anterior margin broadly grey. Abdomen whitish-ochreous ; 

 bases of segments on dorsum brownish ; under-surface crimson. 

 Legs grey with whitish points ; posterior pair ochreous-whitish. 

 Fore wings rather narrow, scarcely dilated, costa strongly 

 arched, apex acute, produced, termen sinuate, very oblique ; 

 bright crimson with a few fuscous scales, mostly towards 

 dorsum ; a very narrow white streak on costa from § to § ; 

 cilia pale-grey, bases crimson. Hindwings and cilia pale- 

 ochreous. 



Hah. — Queensland: Coolangatta, in October; one speci- 

 men, taken among the sand-flora behind the beach. 



Gen. Polyeucta, nov. (TroXvevKros, much desired). 



Palpi very long ; second joint extremely long (about 

 three times length of face), densely and evenly rough-scaled 

 beneath (not tufted), and to a less extent on upper-surface; 

 terminal joint rather less than \ second, very stout, with 

 loosely appressed hairs. Antennae with strong basal pecten ; 

 in male with long ciliations. Thorax smooth. Forewings with 

 7 to apex. Hindwings with 3 and 4 stalked, 6 and 7 parallel. 



Monotypical. A remarkable genus, not near any that 

 I know of. I do not think it has any real relationship to the 

 Wingia group, though there is certainly a superficial 

 resemblance. 



Polyeucta callimorpha. 



Palparia callimorpha, Low. : ante, 1894, p. 93. 



Antennae in male stout, ciliations 2h. 



Rob. — Queensland: Kuranda, near Cairns, in April; 

 one specimen, received from Mr. F. P. Dodd. 



Phyllophanes, Turn.: ante, 1896, p. 21. 



Palpi long ; second joint very long (about twice length 

 of face), smooth-scaled except towards apex anteriorly, where 

 there is a loose tuft of long hairs about half length of 

 terminal joint ; terminal joint about \ y slender. Antennae 

 without basal pecten. Thorax smooth. Anterior tibiae 

 slightly dilated but smooth-scaled. Forewings with 7 to 

 termen ; a strong tuft of scales on costa before middle. 



I am still uncertain as to the true affinities of this genus, 

 of which the type is still unique and the male unknown. 



Phyllophanes dyseureta, Turn. : I.e. 



I I ah. — Queensland: Brisbane; one female, beaten from 

 Eugenia ventenatii.
