a pair of sensory pits. The labial stipites are 
not differentiated. The labial palp is 2- 
segmented, the basal segment is truncate- 
conical and pigmented and bears apically the 
small second segment and a small seta or 
process. The second segment bears a small 
process apically. The maxillary stipes bears 
two setae. The maxillary palpiger bears a 
single seta laterad at mid-length. The maxil- 
lary palp is 2-segmented. The basal joint is 
transverse with a single sensory pit, and the 
distal segment is cylindrical and bears proc- 
esses apically. The lacinia is borne on the pal- 
piger mesad of the maxillary palp and is 1- 
segmented with an apical process. At the base 
of the lacinia mesally are one or two spines, 
or processes, possibly representing the galea 
or digitus laciniae but smaller and shorter 
than that shown in Mnemonica auricyanea 
Wals. by Busck and Boving (1914: PL XI, 
Fig. 8) . In general the larva is similar to that 
of M. auricyanea. 
Agathiphaga queenslandensis n. sp. 
ADULT: Unexpanded forewing of adult ex- 
tracted from pupa 3 mm. long. Forewing of 
naturally emerged adult female 6.5 mm. long. 
Forewing unicolorous, without spots or pat- 
tern. Venation as in Figure 9 a, h. Vein Ri 
in forewing unbranched and Cuia arising 
from cubitomedial cell and not from M3. 
Lateral lobes of labrum with numerous setae 
on each side. Fourth segment of labial palp 
short, conical, three or four times as long as 
wide. Forked median rod of female genitalia 
0.6 mm. long. Male genitalia (aedeagus not 
seen) very similar to that of Agathiphaga 
vitiensis. Tooth on ental margin of left pupal 
mandible nearer apex than mid-length, i.e., 
nearly opposite external tooth. 
SPECIMENS: Four female and one male pupae 
from seed of Agathis robusta from Como(.^), 
Queensland, and several naturally emerged 
adults in poor condition from seed of A. 
robusta from Maryborough, all sent by A. R. 
Brimblecombe. Holotype, female, on slide 
mounts deposited in Queensland Museum, 
Brisbane, Australia. 
MORPHOLOGY 
ADULT: The adult of this species is generally 
similar to that of Agathiphaga vitiensis, except 
in size and in the absence of wing pattern. 
On the head the median epicranial suture is
