A. JEFFERIS TURNER, M.D., F.E.S. 
This contribution consists of a complete revision of the known 
Australian species belonging to the three small families Uraniad^, 
Drepanidje, and Thyrtdidte; of a revision of the Australian genera 
of the Lasiocampid^; and of a number of new genera and species 
belonging to several families. The last are mostly Noctuidje 
belonging to the trifine groups dealt with in vols, iv to ix of 
Hampson's great work, and Ptbalidje, my material in this last 
family being only half -exhausted when the call came to go to press.
