doubt if the species can stand as distinct, as I possess a specimen 

 of gamelia with an additional subapical spot, and although the 

 insect is smaller, it could be considered either species. Pro- 

 bably a longer series will connect the forms as being one and 

 the same. 



7. T. gamelia, Misk. 



P.R.S., Qld., 1889, p. 146. T. Australensis, Mab., O.K., Ent. 

 Belg., xxxv., p. 72. T. janetta, M. and L. (nee Butl.), T.R.S., 

 p. 45. 



Type gamelia, in Queensland Museum; type Australen- 

 .sis, in (?) Coll. Staudinger. 



We formerly called this species janetta, Butl., and 

 although the descriptions are similar it appears that janetta 

 differs from gamelia by the hindwings. Mabille's description 

 of Australensis certainly indicates gamelia.

5. Mesodina, Meyr. 



Ent. Mem., Mag., xxxvii., p. 168, 1901; M. and L., T.R.S., 

 p. 46. 



Club of antennae elongate, pointed, bent, sub-porreot, 

 apiculus very short. Posterior tibiae without middle spurs. 

 Porewings in male without stigma ; 5 parallel to 4 and 6, 

 slightly nearer 6 at base. Hindwings, 5 obsolete. 



Type celuropis, Meyr. 



This genus differs from Hesperilla only by the absence 

 of stigma of fore wing and absence of middle spurs of posterior 

 tibiae, which latter character also separates it from Trapezites, 

 Hub. 



8. M. .eluropis, Meyr. 



Ent. Mon., Mag., xxxviii., p. 168, 1901; M. and L., T.R.S., 

 p. 46. 



In the former Revision the reference was inadvertently 

 given as an M.S.S. name, but was described as above. 



Mr. Waterhouse informs me that this is a mountain 

 species, and so far has been bred only in October to Decem- 

 ber, and again early in January. 



Type in Coll. Meyrick.

Hesperilla halyzia, Hew., Desc. Hesp., p. 38, 1868; ex.
