M. (?) aroa B.-Bak. (,,Opsirhina“). $ head and thorax red-brown. Abdomen lighter. Wings in the 
reddish brown. Forewing with a small, indistinct, black discal spot and 2 parallel, somewhat proximally 
bent, dark transverse lines being distally bordered with light; apex intermixed with grey scales. Hindwing 
with a somewhat lighter base and a darker margin. Under surface of forewing lighter, surface of forewing lighter, 
more yellow, the distal transverse line distinct, apex darkened; hindwing dark red-brown, strewn with grey 
scales and 2 angular transverse bands, proximal margin light. In the $ the forewing is light yellowish greyish- 
brown, with a pale antemedian and post-median band, the discal area darker with a small white discal spot. 
Before the margin slight traces of a third band. Hindwing darker, especially the two bands. Expanse of wings 
about 105 mm. British New Guinea (xAroa River). 
M. (?) metaspila Wkr. is a rather larger species. dark brown, forewing with 4 grey transverse 
lines approaching each other at the anal margin, and a grey submarginal dentate band being indistinct at the 
apex of the wing; before the anal angle 2 black spots, the posterior one being much larger than the anterior 
one. Hindwing in the middle with 2 approximated, parallel, grey transverse bands. $ lighter, hindwing reddish. 
Celebes. 
M. (?) basimacula Wkr. Light brown, very much woolly haired, with a lighter under surface. Head 
and anterior part of thorax dark ferruginous, antennae pale. Abdomen with a blackish anal tuft. Forewing 
dark ferruginous with a reddish tint, with a white discal dot and an ochreous spot close at the base, and with 
4 indistinct blackish transverse lines; submarginal line formed of black, grey-speckled spots, the spot situate 
at the proximal margin being larger than the others. Hindwings very densely covered with woolly hair. Expanse 
of wings more than 100 mm. Borneo (Sarawak). 
8. Genus: Cyclophragma Tmr. 
The species belonging hereto show a size of the body rather considerable for Australian representatives 
of the family and greatly resemble the large Indian species of Metanastria. They are also in fact- so closely allied 
with this genus as the representatives of which they might be denoted, that the only difference is merely noticed 
in their shorter palpi, which mark in conjunction with the evidently secluded range may justify the retention 
of the separate genus. Hereto surely also belong Odonestis centralistrigata B.-Bak. from New Guinea, of which 
only the <$ is known most strikingly resembling the two other species. Characteristic seems to be the yellow, 
black-banded abdomen being common to the <$<$ of all the three species described below, and besides the invariably 
paired, proximally bent, dark bands of the forewings. 
C. cyclornela Lower resembles leucosticta (33 c). Head, thorax and legs dark red-brown, legs curled 
yellowish. Abdomen above yellowish brown with black transverse bands, beneath reddish-brown. Antennae 
with a dark brown shaft and yellowish-brown pinnae. Wings reddish-brown, everywhere intermixed with 
whitish scales, especially densely so in the $. Forewing with a dark brown discal spot and 2 parallel, uniformly 
proximally bent, somewhat irregularly dentate, prediscal and postdiscal dark transverse bands which may 
particularly in the $ almost or entirely disappear. In the hindwing only the two distal bands are noticeable. 
A submarginal row of dark spots in the forewing is partly coherent, more or less distinct. Queensland. 
C. leucosticta Griinb. (33 c) resembles cyclornela from which it differs by the small, but distinct white 
discal spot in the forewing. Abdomen also beneath yellowish-brown, in the $ above without bands, with a more 
reddish tint. Queensland and New Guinea (Kaiser Wilhelmsland). 
C. centralistrigata B.-Bak. (33 a). Described as Odonestis. Frons and upper surface of palpi light 
grey, under surface red-brown. Antennae light brownish-grey, thorax and wings light red-brown, very much 
intermixed with grey. Abdomen above black and curled ochreous-yellow, beneath grey. Forewing with a 
blackish longitudinal streak extending from the base almost to the margin, in which there is a small, but distinct 
white discal dot, besides with 2 prediscal and 2 postdiscal, irregular, dark transverse lines and a row of small, 
indistinct, black submarginal dots. Hindwing only on the costal part intermixed with grey, with 2 dark median 
bands in the continuation of the distal bands of the wing. On the under surface in both wings only the two 
postdiscal bands are indistinctly developed, the grey scaling is confined to the anterior part of the hindwing. 
British New Guinea (Dinawa); North Queensland (the figured specimen). 
9. Genus: Arguda Mr. 
As to the diagnose of the genus see Vol. II, p. 178. The genus comprises medium-sized and rather large 
species essentially agreeing in the marking of the wings. One species, A. flavovittata Mr. differs somewhat by
