A REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN NOLID AE (LEPIDOPTERA) . 45 
costa to mid-dorsum, with a slight posterior tooth above middle, some- 
times this line is obsolete; subterminal suffused, pale brownish, edged 
posteriorly with white ; termen suffused with pale brownish ; a terminal 
series of blackish dots. Hind wings and cilia white. 
North Queensland: Cape York; Cairns; Dunk I. Queensland: 
Yeppoon; Brisbane. Also from Ceylon and India.

$ , 21 mm. Head and thorax grey-whitish. Palpi 3 ; fuscous, upper 
edge grey- whitish. Antennae grey, towards base whitish; antennal 
pectinations in male very long (8). Abdomen grey. Legs fuscous with 
whitish rings. Forewings elongate-triangular, costa straight to near 
apex, apex round-pointed, termen slightly rounded, slightly oblique; 
grey- whitish ; markings dark fuscous; first tuft small, whitish, second 
and third large, dark fuscous, closely approximated, third tuft median ; 
an oblique strigule from one-third costa to second tuft, from which a 
fine line runs to one-third dorsum, indented above margin; a suffused 
costal spot continuous with third tuft ; a fine line from third tuft to 
mid-dorsum; postmedian from beneath two-thirds costa to two-thirds 
dorsum, sharply dentate ; subterminal suffused, interrupted, with 
subcostal and submedian prominences; a suffused terminal line with 
some darker terminal dots ; cilia whitish sprinkled with fuscous. 
Hindwings and cilia pale grey.

Palpi short or moderate, obliquely ascending. Antennae bipecti- 
nate, towards apex simple. Abdomen with a small dorsal crest on first 
segment. Forewings with 2 from four-fifths, 3 from angle, 4 separate, 
5 approximated at origin, 6 from below upper angle, 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked, 
11 separate?. Hindwings with 2 from two-thirds, 3 and 4 stalked, 5 
widely separate, 6 and 7 stalked; 12 anastomosing with cell to middle. 
Type, R. togatalis Hb. from Europe. It is doubtful whether Hampson 
was justified in fixing this species as the type. Meyrick uses Roeselia 
in the place of Celama Wlk. 
Though poorly represented in Australia, this is a large genus 
mainly of the tropics in both hemispheres.
