of darker and lighter shade ; costal edge slightly pinkish ; 

 a blackish discal dot in disc at ^ containing a few central 

 brown scales; a similar dot at §, centre more whitish; veins 

 minutely dotted with fuscous; cilia brown-whitish. Hind- 

 wings and cilia grey. 



Hab . — Queensland: Brisbane; one specimen. 



Gen. Pycnozancla, nov. 

 (irvKv6$ayi<\o<s, with thick sickles [palpi]). 



Palpi with second joint reaching base of antennae, 

 moderately clothed w T ith appressed scales, sometimes slightly 

 roughened anteriorly ; terminal joint as stout as second, or 

 very nearly so. Antennae without basal pecten ; in male 

 with moderate or rather long ciliations. Thorax smooth. 

 Anterior tibiae slightly dilated towards apex but smooth 

 scaled. Fore wings with 7 to termen. 



Type, P. acribes. The terminal joint of the palpi in 

 Eochrois and EowAjstis is certainly stout as compared with, 

 for instance, Philobota, but is not nearly so stout as the 

 second joint. I consider the separation of this genus, there- 

 fore, justified. The three species form a natural group to 

 which we may expect additions; acribes is probably attached 

 to Eugenia, the other two species to tropical ''scrub" trees.
