before angle, 4 from angle, 5 from well above angle, 7, 8, 9 stalked, 

 7 arising after 9, 11 free. Hindwings broad, nearly circular, 2 from

EURYPEPLA PTERIDAULA, n. SP. 



^15-20 mm. Head ochreous-whitish. Palpi about 1; fuscous. An- 

 tennae fuscous; ciliatious in J' 1. Thorax fuscous. Abdomen grey. Legs 

 pale-ochreous; anterior pair fuscous anteriorly; middle pair with some 

 fuscous suffusion. Forewings broadly triangular, costa moderately 

 arched, apex round-pointed, termen slightly bowed, oblique; fuscous; 

 a, pale-ochreous transverse fascia near base, constricted or inter- 

 rupted in middle; a large whitish spot on 2/3 costa, giving rise to 

 a slender dentate line, bent outwards in middle, and again inwards 

 to end on 2/3 dorsum; sometimes a whitish dot on costa before apex, 

 and several similar dots on termen; cilia pale-ochreous. Hindwings 

 nearly circular, termen strongly rounded; a dense patch of audro- 

 conia in cell on upper surface; pale-ochreous, with some grey suf- 

 fusion towards costa and termen; cilia ochreous-whitish. 



Q., National Park (2000 to 4000 ft.) in December and January; 

 nine specimens beaten from dead fronds of tree-ferns. 



Philenora pteridopola, n. sp. 



J' $ 17-18 mm. Head pale-yellow, lower edge of face fuscous. 

 Palpi 1, obliquely porrect; dark-fuscous. Antennae fuscous; ciliatious 

 in ^ very short (]). Thorax fuscous. Abdomen pale-ochreous. Legs 

 pale-ochreous; anterior and middle pairs suffused with fuscous. Fore- 

 wings elongate-triangular, costa slightly arched, apex round-pointed, 

 termen nearly straight, oblique; fuscous; markings pale-yellow; a 

 basal patch on dorsum to 1/3, reaching about half across disc; a 

 suffused inwardly oblique line from mid costa to end of dorsal basal 

 patch; a triangular patch on dorsum beyond middle, extending nearly 

 to tornus, joined by a fine dentate line from J costa, at first parallel 

 to termen, then bent inwards; two dark-fuscous discal dots beyond 1/3 

 and before 2/3; a subterminal suffusion; cilia pale-ochreous, bases 

 broadly barred with fuscous. Hindwings with termen gently rounded; 

 pale-ochreous; apical and costal area pale fuscous, joined by a suf- 

 fused transverse median line from dorsum; cilia fuscous, on veins, 

 tornus, and dorsum pale-ochreous. 



N.Q., Evelyn Scrub, near Herberton (F. P. Dodd), in January and 

 February; three specimens, which appear to belong to a local race, 

 the forewings being yellower, and the basal patch larger, and ex- 

 tending nearly to costa. 



Q., National Park (2500 to 4000 ft.), in December and January; 

 ten specimens beaten from dead fronds of three-ferns.
