106 Howard Ashton .- 



I have not seen anything quite typical of the specimen figured 

 by Distant in the Genera Insectorum, but I have one specimen 

 in my collecion — the only one I can refer to this species — from 

 Western Australia. The colouration of this specimen is darker 

 than the one figured, and the fuscous fascia across the bases of. 

 the apical areas of the tegmina only extend as far as the fourth.
