dot, reaching the costal margin at little beyond two-thirds. Hindwing above without cell-dot. Both wings 
beneath with cell-dot and faint postmedian line. Yallingup, S. W. Australia, Nov. and Dec. 1913, 2 in 
coll. Brit. Mus., collected by R. E. Turner. 
21. Genus: Phallaria Guen. 
The sole species is large and heavily built, somewhat recalling a Lasiocampid or Saturniid, or perhaps 
especially an Anthela. Differs in but few essentials from Monoctenia. Antenna of <$ bipectinate, palpus rather 
stronger, tarsi perhaps still more strongly spinulose, cell of forewing rather longer, discocellulars of both wings 
hyaline. 
Ph. ophiusaria Guen. (= quaternaria H.-Sch., wayii Temper) (1 1). Varies between grey-brown and ophiusaria. 
reddish-brown, but the markings seem constant. Rests with the wings spread and bears a protective resemblance 
to a dead leaf. — Larva stout, twig-like with a horn on the tail; no additional prolegs; colour varying from putty- 
colour to dark smoke-brown. On Eucalyptus, feeding only at night. Imago in February and March. South 
Australia to New South Wales. 
22. Genus: Carthaea Walk. 
Of this genus again only one species is known — the largest and finest in the subfamily. It is characte¬ 
rized by the very hairy clothing, protuberant frons, strongly bipectinate d antenna, strongly spinulose tarsi 
and by having the 3rd subcostal vein of the forewing (which, as usual in this group, is stalked with the 2nd) 
rather widely removed from the 4th. 
C. saturnioides Walk. (11). Quite remarkable in its close superficial resemblance to a Saturniid. A saturnioi- 
rare species, known only from West Australia. 
23. Genus: Cwastrophora Guen. 
Antenna of d strongly bipectinate, of $ somewhat lamellate, strongly biserrate. Palpus rather short, 
especially in the $. Tarsi not strongly spinulose. Forewing of $ with costal margin curved, apex produced, 
distal margin very oblique. Both wings with 2nd radial arising before the middle of the discocellularls, 3nd 
discocellular (especially of hindwing) deeply curved inwards; 1st radial of hindwing (sometimes also of fore¬ 
wing) stalked. 
In several respects more specialised than the genera from which it appears to be derived. 
G. henricaria Guen. (2 b). Remarkable for its sexual dimorphism not only in shape but in markings, henricaria. 
the median line of the forewing being strong and straight in the d> very feeble and curved in the $, the 
hindwing of the $ having a broad whitish border which is almost entirely wanting in the <§, etc. Forewing 
beneath with a very large black, violet-grey-marked patch beyond the cell. At rest the brightly-coloured 
hindwing is concealed and the moth is well protected among withered leaves. — Larva stout, twig-like, with 
some very small humps and without additional prolegs; sienna brown, with light lateral stripes, assimilated 
to a piece of stringy-bark. On Eucalyptus. Widely distributed in Australia, excepting the West and North. 
24. Genus: Moniosg>ora Turn. 
Face with strong obtuse conical chitinous projection. Antenna of $ bipectinate. Palpus with 3rd 
joint very short. Hindtibia with the proximal spurs wanting. Hindwing with 2nd radial arising before the 
middle of the discocellulars, 2nd subcostal from apex of cell. Two species, both Australian. 
H. rhodoscopa Lower (= procrita Turn.) (2 c). A rather long-winged ashy-grey species with the lines rhodoscopa. 
very fine and faint, somewhat lunulate-dentate, arising from better-defined costal spots and somewhat ac¬ 
centuated on the veins; median shade weak or obsolete. Hindwing more whitish. Underside more mixed with 
brown anteriorly, whitish beyond the post median line. Abdomen with a bright ochreous-brown anterior 
patch dorsally. Queensland. 
H. lymantriodes Trout (2 c). Rather smaller than rhodoscopa, wings slightly broader. Forewing very lymantrw- 
light, whitish brown, costal edge with some small dark dots; two strong dark lines and a thick median shade, 
the last-named placed very near the postmedian line; postmedian dentate outwards on all the veins. Hindwing
