THRENOSIA; THERMEOLA; HESTIARCHA; PARAPELOSIA; STENOSIA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 223 
146. Genus: Tlirenosia Hmps. 
Distinguished from the preceding genus by the 1st radial of the forewing rising from the upper cell-angle; 
on the hindwing the 1st median and 3rd radial are petioled, the costal fold is absent. 
T. heminephes Meyr. is a larger species, described from New South Wales. Orange-yellow; sides heminephes. 
of the forehead and antennae brownish; shoulder-covers blackish-brown. Forewing with a blackish base of 
the costal margin; a very broad, blackish-brown marginal band occupies more than a third of the wing, but 
it does not reach the costa and is above concave. 34 mm. 
147. Genus: Thermeola Hmps. 
Differs from the preceding by its shorter spurs and hairily scaled forewings. The 1st radial rises from 
below the upper cell-angle; the two lower subcostal veins are petioled, the third is absent, the two upper ones 
from the cell, the 1st subcostal vein anastomoses with the costal vein. On the hindwing the 1st median and 
3rd radial, as well as the subcostal and 1st radial rise on long footstalks, the 2nd radial being absent. 
T. tasmanica Hmps. (14 a). Pale yellowish-brown with an indistinct, darker stripe below the cell tasmanica. 
and a similar oblique, transverse postmedian band. Hindwings yellow. Tasmania. 
148. Genus: Mestiarelia Meyr. 
Proboscis stunted; palpi extremely small; antennae doubly combed; thorax and abdomen roughly 
haired. Forewing narrow; the 2nd median rises near the lower cell-angle, the 1st median and 3rd radial on 
a footstalk, the middle radial vein is absent. The 1st radial is petioled with the two lower subcostal veins, 
whilst the 3rd subcostal vein is absent, the 1st and 2nd as in Thermeola . On the hinclwing the transverse vein 
is absent, the 1st median and 3rd radial rise on a footstalk, the 2nd median, the 3rd subcostal and 1st radial 
fused from the costal vein. 
H. pyrrhopa Meyr. (14 a) has dark brown forewings and orange-red hindwings with a broad, blackish- pyrrhopa 
brown marginal band. Port Lincoln (South Australia). 
149. Genus: Parapelosfa B.-Bak. 
Proboscis well developed; palpi very small; antennae with very long and fine ciliae. Forewings long 
and narrow; vein 2, at the base strongly curved and proceeding from the cell. 3 and 4 on a long footstalk, 
5 absent, 6 rising near the cell, 7 and 8 on a long footstalk, 9 rising directly behind 6, 10 from the cell. 
11 anastomosing with 12. Hindwing with a straight costa and pointed apex; margin uniformly bent; vein 2 
rises behind the middle of the cell, 3 and 4 fused, 5 absent, 6 petioled with 7, as far as the middle of the 
cell anastomosing with 8. Only 1 species from New Guinea. 
P. grisescens B.-Bak. Head and thorax greyish-chocolate; abdomen lighter. Forewing light greyish- grisescens. 
brown, costa in the basal half ash-grey, below it dark brown, lighter at the middle of the proximal margin, 
above which there are two dark diffuse spots. Veins in the discal area covered with dark, marginal area dark, 
in the single areas with short, darker diffuse spots. Hindwing light slate-coloured, towards the base and along 
the proximal margin lighter. 25 mm. Owgarra. 
150. Genus: 8tenosia Hmps. 
Proboscis well developed, the short palpi porrect; male antennae with ciliary bristles; abdomen roughly 
haired. Forewing long and narrow with a rounded apex; the proximal margin near the base very convex; the 
cell is very narrow and exhibits in the a scent-scale stripe. The 1st median rises before the lower cell-angle, 
the 2nd radial is absent, the 1st rises from the upper cell-angle; the 3rd and 4th subcostal veins are absent, 
hindwings as in the preceding genus. 
S. rufeola Hmps. is of a bright red-brown; abdomen more greyish with a yellow anal tuft. Forewing rufeola. 
with traces of a postmedian transverse line. Hindwing lighter red-brown. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Bali.
