1st median stalked. Founded on a $ from Carnarvon, West Australia. Three faded <3$ from Roebourne 
seem to belong with it, but their wing-shape is nearly as indicated for the following species. 
Ch. halochlora Meyr. Forewing with costal and distal margins almost straight, hindwing rather ab- halochlora. 
ruptly rounded at 1st radial, thence almost straight. Should differ from monocymci in being of a more w'hitish 
green, the costal edge not rosy-tinged, but with a red apical spot on the fringe, the postmedian line wanting. 
Quorn, South Australia, 1 <$. 
Ch. extema Walk. (12 i) differs from dichloraria, in the absence of the dorsal line, in the more bluish externa. 
green colour, sharper cell-dots, etc. Tasmania and extending to New South Wales. 
Ch. melocrossa Meyr. (= xuthocrania Turn.) (12 h) differs from dichloraria in the yellow (not red) occi- melocrossa. 
put, costal edge and fringes. Somewhat variable in the strength of the dentate lines, which can even be reduced 
to vein-dots. Tasmania and extending to Queensland.— periphracta Turn, is a race from Stradbroke Island, periphrac- 
with ochreous cell-dots. Apparently attached toBanksiaserratifolia. . la - 
Ch. tetraspila Lower. Face green (in all the preceding species except ipomopsis red). Unique in the tetraspila. 
genus in having the hindwing angled, or almost tailed at the 3rd radial. Costal edge of forewing narrowly 
pale crimson; cell-dots blackish, edged with ferruginous; lines indicated only by minute whitish vein-dots. 
Tasmania (type) and Victoria. 
Ch. symbleta Turn. Expanse 36 mm. Bluish green, with costal edge white, in distal % crimson; symbleta. 
fringes pale crimson; a fine and very indistinct, dentate postmedian line; forewing with a dark-green cell- 
dot. New South Wales: Adaminaby, 3500 feet, in October, 1 
Ch. asemanta Meyr. (12 k). Smaller than symbleta, with which it shares the green face and indi- asemanta. 
stinct markings. Fringes green, not red. West Australia. 
Ch. paraphylla Lower. 20—24 mm. Head and thorax pale green. Tibia thickened. Forewing paraphylla. 
elongate-triangular, termen nearly straight, oblique; pale green, somewhat tinged with bluish; a narrow yel¬ 
lowish costal streak, leaving extreme costal edge crimson throughout ; cilia green. 5 ’Derby, West Australia, 
in November. Unless the pectinations be slightly longer (“5”, against 4 for asemanta) this may well prove an 
aberration, with the markings obsolete. 
Ch. stereota Meyr. (12 k). In colour and markings somewhat like an undersized carenaria (12 k), but stereota. 
with face and fringe green, dorsal line wanting, veins not pale, postmedian line not reaching costa. Victoria. 
Ch. neptunus Btlr. (= cissina Turn.) (12 k). Distinct in its rather deep blue-green colour, postmedian neptunus. 
line slightly wavy, but not dentate, placed rather far from the distal margin. Face, occiput and fringes (except 
at tips) concolorous. Queensland. 
Ch. tachypora Turn, is nearest to neptunus but with the palpus much shorter (scarcely over h), tachypora. 
the forewing with a broad white costal streak, the lines more dentate, but equally indistinct. Queensland: 
Stradbroke Island. 
81. Genus: Heterestlies Warr. 
Face narrow. Palpus in both sexes short. Tongue short and weak. Antenna in both sexes pectinate, 
with long branches. Build robust. Thorax hairy beneath. Abdomen not crested. Hindtibia in £ not dilated, 
in both sexes with 4 spurs. Forewing with apex falcate, somewdiat recalling Tanaorliinus. Hindwing with 
termen slightly rounded, not bent in the middle. A striking genus, containing only one species. 
H. subaureata Warr. ( 1 3 g as subrubra). Variable in size, otherwise pretty constant. Opaque green, generally subaureata. 
with faint traces of white postmedian vein-dots, which occasionally become quite distinct. Underside uniform 
orange, with coarse scaling. — subrubra Warr., which was described as a separate species, is simply the nor- subrubra. 
mal §, considerably larger, otherwise exactly similar above; underside light reddish at margins, especially 
at base of costa of forewing, behind the median and its second branch on both wings, and between costal 
margin and subcostal vein on hindwing; the rest with dark smoky suffusion. Solomon Islands, hitherto known 
from Bougainville, Choiseul, Florida (Warrex’s type of subaureata) , Vella Lavella, Guizo and New Georgia. 
82. Genus Mieroloxia Warr. 
Palpus moderate, wdth terminal joint in the $ long. Tongue present, sometimes weak. Antenna of 
$ pectinate, of $ more or less serrate. Hindtibia in both sexes with terminal spurs only. Abdomen not crested.
