reddish-fuscous spot in disc at f ; cilia pale ochreous-brown. Hind- 
wings pale ochreous ; basal third fuscous ; division suffused ; cilia pale 
ochreous, at anal angle fuscous. 
Differs from TJzucha humeralis only in the colouration. Further 
discoveries may show that it is only a geographical variety of this 
species, which, however, is quite constant in its colouring in the neigh- 
bourhood of Brisbane. Charters Towers : one specimen from Mr. 
Dodd. 
20. PEOCOMETIS, Meyr. 
An interesting genus probably destined to be much increased in 
number of species. 
I have omitted Proc. diplocenira, Meyr., 73, as of doubtful 
occurrence in Queensland. I have seen no specimens from this colony, 
and have one captured during a short stay in Hobart, Tasmania. As 
Mr. G-. Barnard, from whom the type specimens were received, is 
known to have collected in this island, I think there may be some 
mistake in the locality, which is given as Duaringa.

tibiae irrorated, and tarsi annulated with white. Forewings elongate, 
costa moderately arched, apex rounded, hindmargin obliquely rounded ;

leaves the following markings : — A short longitudinal line from base ;
