Abdomen a little longer and wider than the thorax. Fore- 

 wings reaching a little beyond apex of abdomen ; rather broad, 

 the apex rather squarely rounded ; hyaline, but there is an 

 obscure band covering most of the marginal and apex of sub- 

 marginal vein, and the wing apex is obscurely infuscated ; 

 discal cilia not very fine, dense; marginal vein two-thirds as 

 long as the stigmal, which is moderately long and curved, its 

 apex distant from the wing margin by almost one-half its own 

 length; venation fuscous, the stigmal vein pale-yellow. An- 

 tennae 10-jointed; scape equal to next five joints combined; 

 pedicel twice as long as wide; first funicle- joint a little shorter 

 and narrower than the pedicel, almost twice as long as wide ; 

 2-7 gradually widening, all a little wider than long ; sixth 

 abruptly larger than fifth ; last joint large, two and a half 

 times as long as wide. Length, 1*20 mm. 



II ab. — North Queensland: Nelson. Described from two 

 females caught on windows, May, 1913 (A. P. Dodd).

 Abdomen no wider than the thorax, and no longer than the 

 head and thorax united. Antennas 10-jointed ; scape equal 

 to next five joints combined; pedicel slender, two and a half 

 times as long as wide; first funicle- joint shorter and a little 

 narrower than the pedicel, twice as long as wide ; 2-5 gradually 

 widening; second a little longer than wide; 3-5 slightly wider 

 than long ; sixth rather abruptly larger than fifth, a little 

 longer than wide ; seventh slightly longer than sixth ; last 

 joint long, fully three times as long as wide, nearly as long 

 -as the scape. Forewings reaching apex of abdomen ; moderately 

 broad, the apex rather square ; hyaline, with a dark band 

 across the wing, involving the marginal and last fifth of 

 submarginal veins, and the wing apex is obscurely infuscated ; 

 discal cilia fine, rather sparse, in about 16 lines; marginal 

 Tein two-thirds as long as the stigmal, which is rather long, 

 scarcely curved, its apex distant from the wing margin by 

 one-half its own length ; venation very dark and distinct, but
