1. C. caristus, Hew. 



Chcetnocneme caristus, Hew., Desc. Heap, p. 21; Casyapa 

 crltomedia, M. and L. (nee. Guer), T.R.S., p. 40. 



The description given as above refers to this species and 

 not to Crltomedia, Quer. This latter species does not, so far 

 as I am aware, occur in Australia. The two specimens of 

 caristus in the Miskin collection (said to have been taken by 

 the late Mr. Diggles at Kangaroo Point), the two d speci- 

 mens in my own collection from Cape York, and two in Mr. 

 Bethune-Baker's collection (taken in New Guinea) are 

 identical. 



Type in Coll. Hewitson (British Museum). 



2. Phcenicops, Watson. 



P.Z.S., p. 30, 1893; M. and L., T.R.S., p. 41. 



Club of antennae moderate, elongate, gradually thick- 

 ened, pointed, bent, not abruptly angled. Palpi ascending, 

 terminal joint very short, obtuse. Posterior tibiae without 

 middle spurs. Forewings in male without characters, 5 parallel 

 to 4 and 6, slightly nearer to 6 at base. Hindwings with 

 5 obsolete.
