rounded, termen obliquely rounded; similar in both sexes; 

 whitish with numerous pale olive-green wavy transverse lines; a 

 darker line near base, angulated beneath costa; three parallel 

 antemedian lines at about -|; median band free from lines; six 

 lines beyond this, parallel, somewhat dentate; a fuscous line from 

 costa before middle, crossing median band obliquely to lower 

 angle of cell; the three postmedian lines are fuscous as far as this 

 junction, and from it proceed two fuscous streaks to termen 

 above and below vein 5; two fuscous terminal lines, the second 

 thickened and interrupted ; cilia whitish. Hindwings with 

 termen rounded; in £ smaller, inner portion aborted, with a 

 vesicular thickening on base of dorsum; grey-whitish; cilia 

 whitish. 



This species belongs to Hampson's Sect. i. B. (Moths Ind. iii. 

 p. 408). I have not been able to identify it with any extra- 

 Australian species. 



Type in Coll. Turner. 



N.Q. : Kuranda, in October and November, two specimens 

 received from Mr. F. P. Dodd. 



Symmimetis,* n.g. 



Head with projecting cone of scales. Palpi moderately long, 

 porrect. Tongue well developed. Abdomen with slight median 

 dorsal crests on basal segments. Posterior tibiae with middle 

 spurs absent; outer end spur about half length of inner. Fore- 

 wings with 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, stalked; no areole; 11 anastomosing 

 strongly with 12. Hindwings with 3 and 4 short-stalked, 5 

 from middle of cell, 6 and 7 stalked, 8 anastomosing to near end 

 ■of cell. 



Evidently a development of the Gymnoscelis group. It has no 

 relationship to Cle-ptocosmia Warr., the only other Australian 

 genus in which there is no areole. It appears, however, to be 

 related to Hybridoneura Warr., (Nov. Zool. 1898, p. 24) which 

 has a similar neuration.
