and a second white line from close to apex all converging towards the anal angle. Underside not very diffe¬ 
rent from upper, the forewing rather less sharply marked, the hindwing rather more sharply. Queensland and 
Victoria. 
16 Genus: Satraparcliis Meyr. 
An offshoot of Epidesmia, founded by Meyrick on a single species which differs therefrom in the 
venation. Forewing with the first two subcostals stalked, their stalk anastomosing with that of the 3rd and 4th. 
Hindwing with the cell rather short, the 2nd subcostal shortly stalked with the 1st radial. 
S. bijugata Walk. (= teliferata Walk.) (1 k). Recalls, in the wing-form and the character of the mark¬ 
ings, the last two species of Epidesmia , but cannot be confounded with any known species. The darker 
forewing with the two convergent pure-white, central bands, and the large cell-mark and broad dark border 
of the hindwing distinguish^ it abundantly. Queensland and New South Wales, in August, not common. 
17. Genus: fcystatica Turn. 
Palpus densely haired, terminal joint concealed. Antenna of d unipectinate. Legs smooth, the 
middle- and the lrindtarsus slightly spinulose. Forewing with the first two subcostals stalked, the 2nd closely 
approaching the 3rd but not anastomosing. Hindwing with 2nd subcostal not stalked. Turner considers 
this genus a link between the preceding group and the more robust group which follows. Only the one species 
is known. 
S. xanfhastis Lower. Wing-expanse 55 mm. Forewing pale ochreous with fine greyish irroration; lines 
dark, the antemedian straight, the postmeclian curved inwards, from % costa to % hindmargin; cell-dot 
linear; fringe dark brown with yellow line near base. Hindwing rounded; bright golden orange, with dark post¬ 
median line and dark fringe. Forewing beneath bright golden yellow, hindwing strigulated with dark brown. 
Gympie, Queensland. 
18. Genus: Monoctenfci Guen. 
Very large Geometrids, stoutly built and with strongly hairy vestiture. Antenna of d unipectinate, with 
long branches. Hindtibia with the spurs approximated. Wings very thickly scaled. Forewing with a bar 
(perhaps the base of the 3rd subcostal) connecting the 2nd subcostal vein with the 4th. Hindwing with the 3rd 
discocellular very deeply bent inwards, 2nd radial arising much nearer to the 1st radial than to the 3rd. 
Only two species are definitely referable here, but two of Lower’s, of which I have no first-hand knowledge, 
are provisionally added. 
M. smerintharia Feld. (2 a, b). Both wings with distal margin crenulate, the colour reddish-grey, both 
wings crossed by a pale dentate line which runs obliquely from near the apex of the forewing but is not very 
sharply defined. South Australia. 
M. eximia Lower. Described from a measuring 65 mm. Said to be intermediate between smerintharia 
and caUadelpha but immediately recognizable by the rather broad pale pinkish or flesh-coloured costal streak. 
Face deep crimson. Wings rosy purplish-ochreous, the base of hindwing much paler; fringes blackish with a 
pinkish line at base. Port Lincoln, South Australia. 
M. caUadelpha Lower. Size of the preceding or slightly smaller. Said to be intermediate between 
smerintharia and falernaria but differing from both in the absence of markings on forewing. Face deep 
purplish-ferruginous. Forewing rosy purplish-ochreous, the veins more yellowish; fringe ochreous with dull 
purplish spots opposite the veins. Hindwing rosy purplish, much paler towards base and abdominal margin; 
an indistinct curved whitish postmedian band. Parkside and Port Lincoln, South Australia. 
M. falernaria Guen. (1 1). Differs from the three preceding in having the distal margins scarcely cre¬ 
nulate and in having a large darker triangular costal patch on the forewing, commonly also a blackish 
central spot on the submedian vein. Tasmania to New South Wales. 
19. Genus: (Enochroina Guen. 
Differs from Monoctenia only in small characters. Antennal pectinations of $ less extremely long. 
Hindtibia! spin’s normally placed. Hindwing generally narrower, with straighter distal margin, costal vein
