Namangana delogeapha, n. sp. 

 (8r)Xoypa(f>os, clearly engraved). 



d , 36 mm. Head and thorax ochreous-whitish, irror- 

 ated with dark fuscous. Palpi rather long (2); ochreous- 

 whitish irrorated with dark fuscous. Antennae whitish finely 

 barred with fuscous; in male simple, minutely ciliated, with 

 slightly longer bristles. Abdomen whitish, irrorated with 

 grey. Legs fuscous irrorated, and tibiae and tarsi annulat'ed 

 with ochreous-whitish. Forewings elongate-triangular, costa 

 nearly straight, apex round-pointed, termen slightly bowed, 

 slightly oblique ; fuscous irrorated with whitish so as to appear 

 grey, and with some pale-ochreous scales, especially on fold, 

 and on a median streak posterior to reniform; markings 

 whitish partly outlined with fuscous; sub-basal line indicated 

 by costal and subcostal spots; antemedian at J, transverse, 

 interrupted; orbicular circular with a dark central dot; reni- 

 form 8-shaped with two included dark dots, incomplete 

 beneath; several white dots on terminal third of costa; post- 

 median slender, sinuate; subterminal slender, indented in 

 middle; a terminal series of blackish lunules preceded by 

 whitish; cilia fuscous, apices barred with ochreous-whitish. 

 Hindwings with termen rounded; white; a few fuscous scales 

 on veins; cilia white with an interrupted fuscous line before 

 middle. Underside whitish with fuscous irroration towards 

 costa and termen ; forewings on male with long whitish hairs 

 on under-surface of cell. 



A distinct and neatly-marked species. The palpi are 

 long for this genus, but some other species approach it in this 

 respect. Type in Coll. Goldfinch. 



Hah. — New South Wales: Bourke; one male from the 

 late Mr. Helms' collection. Western Australia: Dowerin; 

 one female from Mr. L. J. Newman. 



18. Gen. Luperina, Bdv. 



Frons not projecting. Palpi long, obliquely ascending; 

 second joint w^th rough hairs anteriorly and also posteriorly 

 at apex; terminal joint long, porrect. Thorax with rounded 

 anterior and small posterior crest. Abdomen without crests. 

 Posterior tibiae hairy. Neuration normal. 



Allied to Namangana^ from which it differs in the absence 

 of basal abdominal crest, but agrees in the structure of the 

 palpi. The European L. testacea, Schiff., which is nearly 

 allied to the type, has the tongue rather short and weak, and 

 the thorax clothed with hairs. In these respects it differs 

 from the following species, but they are hardly sufficient for 

 generic distinction.
