ASTHENA THA.LASSIAS. 



Q : Stanthorpe — N.S.W.: Ben Lomond. 



ASTHENA XYLOCYMA. 



Vic: Beaconsfield. 



ASTHENA ANTHODES. 



Yic. : Beaconsfield. 



ASTHENA EUTHECTA. 



The $ differs from the Q in the apex of the forewing being 

 scarcely acute and not produced, costal edge of forewing more 

 distinctly rosy (this colour is just traceable in 9) and postmedian 

 line being interrupted by a rather conspicuous dark fuscous spot. 



Q.: Brisbane, in August; one £ example taken on a lamp. 



ASTHENA BALIOLOMA,* n.Sp. 



£Q. 23-26 mm. Head and face fuscous; fillet whitish. An- 

 tennae pale grey. Thorax green. Abdomen green, sides, tuft, 

 and apices of segments whitish. Legs fuscous; posterior pair 

 whitish. Forewings triangular, costa straight except near base 

 and apex, apex round-pointed, termen bowed, slightly oblique; 

 green with numerous wavy parallel transverse paler lines; a dark 

 fuscous discal dot beneath t costa; a-brown-whitish streak along 

 costa; a fine fuscous terminal line interrupted by brown-whitish 

 dots on veins; cilia whitish. Hind wings with termen bowed, 

 scarcely angled on vein 4: colour, marginal line and dots, and 

 cilia as forewings. 



Readily distinguished from A.pulchraria by the spotted ter- 

 men. The forewings are less acute, and hind wings more rounded 

 than in that species, and the thorax is wholly green. 



Type in Coll. Lyell. 



Vic: Gisbome. in November, January, and March; three speci- 

 mens received from Mr. G. Lyell. From the same source I have 

 received five slightly larger but wasted specimens from Mt. Erica, 

 which I believe to be the same species.
