MACRONEMA PULCHRTPENNE a. sp. 

 (Plate XXIV A., fig. 3). 



?. Total length 9, forewing 11, expanse 23.5 mm. 



Head black, with sparse golden hairs on epicraniuni. Antennae slender, 

 18 nun, long, black. Palpi dark grey. 



Thorax: Prothorax black, with two round golden spots on pronotura. 

 Meso and mstathorax black, the uiesonotum with a large central patch of bright

Abdomen dull black throughout ; in shape somewhat broad and flattened,

Wings: Smooth and shiny, without any conspicuous hairs, densely pigment-

 with gold as follows : Base of wing gold, with an extension along costa to half-way, 

 notched at about two thirds of its length by an intrusion of the black colour from 

 below ; another extension of the gold runs along basal third of posterior margin ; 

 pterostigma with a large subtriangular blotch of gold ; a large irregular reniform 

 blotch half-way along posterior border; another slightly smaller and more 

 rounded blotch close to tornus. Near apex there are three smaller spots, the 

 largest of which is near middle of termen, while two very much smaller ones lie 

 above it near costa. Two or three very minute golden spots are scattered on 

 tie black portion of the wing at about one-third from base, and another very 

 small one lies below the pterostigmatie blotch. Hindmng with basal two-thirds

Habitat: Stanwell Park, N.S.W. Three females, taken by Mr. G. Lyell, 

 F.E.S., on April 24th, 1916\ 



Types: Holotype $ in Tillyard Collection, Cawthron Institute, Nelson, 

 N.Z. Also a paratype ? in same collection and another in the Collection of the 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass., U.S.A. 



This and the preceding species are the two most brightly coloured of our 

 Australian Caddis-flies. When flying slowly across a stream, they might be 

 taken for one of the similarly coloured Australian Arctiid moths. 



In concluding this paper, I desire to thank Mr. Nathan Banks, of the 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass., for kindly examining the 

 types of the species here described and confirming my determinations of them; 

 also Mr. W. C. Davies, Curator of the Cawthron Institute, for the excellent 

 photograph reproduced in Plate XXIVA.
