706 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, III., 



Vic: Lome, in March; seven specimens (5 £, 2 Q), all some- 

 what rubbed, received from Mr. G. Lyell. 



Section iii. Hindwings with vein 5 from heloxv middle of discocel- 

 lulars, which are angled. 



Hydriomena subochraria. 



Q. : Brisbane, Nanango, Bunya Mountains. 

 Hydriomena uncinata. 



Q. : Stradbroke Island. 



Hydriomena apotoma,* n.sp. 



£. 34 mm. Head and thorax purplish-grey; face with rounded 

 projection. Palpi rather short (1^); dark fuscous. Antennse 

 ochreous-whitish. Abdomen grey. Legs whitish irrorated with 

 dark fuscous. Forewings triangular, costa gently arched, apex 

 acute, slightly produced, termen slightly sinuate, oblique; grey 

 tinged with reddish-purple; with numerous wavy darker trans- 

 verse lines; a basal patch and median band faintly indicated; 

 before and beyond median band the veins are marked by minute 

 dark fuscous dots; a minute, dark fuscous median discal dot; a 

 tine interrupted dark fuscous terminal line; cilia purple-grey, 

 apices whitish. Hind wings with termen slightly wavy, straight; 

 vein 5 from below middle of discocellulars, which are angled; pale 

 purplish-grey; a dark fuscous discal dot; several fine fuscous lines 

 towards termen, and a terminal line; cilia as forewings. 



Superficially rather like H. trygodes, but it belongs to my 

 Section ii.bf, being nearest to H. uncinata; it may be readily 

 known by the peculiarly shaped hindwings. 



Type in Coll. Drake. There is a co-type in my own collection. 



Vic. : Beaconsfield (900 feet) near Melbourne, in June and 

 July; four specimens taken by Dr. W. E. Drake. Evidently a 

 winter species. 



Melttulias glandulata. 



Tas. : Swansea.
