After Cyneoterpna: 
18 a. Genus: Paraterpna Goldfinch. 
Closely allied to Cyneoterpna, from which it differs in the smoother face, absence of frontal crest, pre¬ 
sence of rather strong abdominal crests, very short antennal pectinations and wide separation of 1st radial 
from 2nd on both wings. Only one species is known. 
P. harrisoni Goldfinch, founded on 1 A and 1 $ from Barrington Tops, 5000 feet (New South Wales), harrisoni . 
is a larger species, expanding 52 to 60 mm, and is readily distinguished from both the Cyneoterpna by the 
more definite but extremely irregular lines of the forewing; the antemedian is thrice very acutely dentate, 
the inward teeth being subcostal, median and postmedian, the latter two particularly long, postmedian den¬ 
tate outward on all the veins and extremely angled inward between the 2nd median and 2nd submedian. Hind¬ 
wing white, the distal part suffused with grey and with darkened veins. 
18 b. Genus: Austroterpna Goldfinch. 
Face smooth. Palpus rather long, terminal joint short, hairy. Antenna in A pectinated, apex simple. 
Thorax with broad posterior crest. All spurs present. Forewing with 1st subcostal anastomosing with costal 
and with 2nd subcostal, 2nd radial remote from 1st. Hindwing with costal approximated to cell to about %, 
thence rather rapidly diverging, 2nd subcostal stalked. 2nd radial remote from 1st. (Abridged from Goldfinch.) 
Distinguished from Terpna by double anastomosis of 1st subcostal of forewing, stalking of 2nd subcostal of 
hind wing and absence of abdominal crests. Two Australian species. 
A. idiographa Goldfinch , the genotype, expands 32 mm and has the forewing brown, densely dark- idiographa. 
strigulated, the lines distinct, black, the antemedian almost straight, very oblique outward, the postmedian 
sinuous, mostly little more than 3 mm from termen, but forming a very deep bay inward behind 2nd median. 
Hindwing mostly fuscous beyond the postmedian line, more whitish proximallv; cell-mark rather large. Gos- 
ford.New South Wales, only the type A known. 
A. paratorna Meyr. Superficially somewhat similar to Sterictopsis argyraspis (S a, as inconsequens ); paratorna . 
indeed Dr. Turner formerly misidentified it as that species. The strong stalking of the 2nd subcostal of the 
forewing, shorter pectinations and lack of abdominal crests are the most outstanding structural distinctions. 
The wings are narrower and more elongate than in idiographa. South Australia, only known from Meyrick's 
type and a rather poor A hi the South Australian Museum. 
To p. 60, C. (?) xenomorpha: 
This species, which differs from Crypsiphona in the presence of all spurs on the hindtibia, has proved 
to be a Hypohapta: see above. 
To p. 118,' after Diplodesma: 
78 a. Genus: Ctenotliea Prout. 
Palpus rather long. Antenna of A pectinate to beyond middle, with moderate branches, a long distal 
portion merely with minute ciliation. Hindtibia of A long, dilated, with pencil and short terminal process, 
only the terminal spurs present; $ with all spurs. Abdomen with slight crests. Forewing with 1st subcostal 
free, 2nd stalked to much beyond 5th. Hindwing with 1st radial stalked, 1st median stalked. Facies of the 
Hemithea group but with different A antenna and different subcostal venation. Genotype: ornata Warr. On 
account of a rearrangement in the sequence of genera, this and the two following were unfortunately dropped 
out of my manuscript. 
C. ornata Warr. (= bella Warr.) (15 g). Easily known by the structural characters and by the elegant ornata. 
bordering of the wings. First described, from both sexes, from Adenara; a ^ from S. Flores subsequently as 
bella, probably by an oversight, as no mention was then made of ornata. Later received from Bali, but not in 
any large numbers. 
78 b. Genus: Cyclothea Prout. 
Palpus in both sexes long and slender, particularly in the $. Antenna of A strongly dentate-fasciculate. 
Hindtibia of the A rnuch as in Hemithea and Cyclothea, in $ with terminal spurs only. Abdomen with small 
crests. Forewing with subcostal venation as in Hemithea. Hindwing with the costal shortly approximated to 
the cell near base, but not anastomosing. Three species, probably all closely related.
