P„ albipemiis Warr. (59 g). Forewing white, dusted with red-brown. Brown dots near the base, a brown 
spot in the centre of the inner margin, met by an undulate white line extending from the centre of the costal 
margin and being edged with brown. Some brown submarginal spots. Hindwing with a double brown exterior 
line, angled on vein 4, bordered with brown spots near the inner margin. 20 mm. New Guinea. 
21. Genus: Oiimdaiia Wkr. 
Forewing slightly concave at the costal margin. Bistal margin below the apex very concave, undulate; 
hindwing at the distal margin undulate. Neuration of forewing: vein 5 below the cell-angle. Veins 6 -j- 7, 
8 + 9, 10 +11 stalked, 11 anastomosing with 12 . Forewing of with a large double scent-spot at the base. 
Type: lugubris Wkr.

A black spot at the base. Interior line grey from 2 / 5 costal margin, slightly excurved, marked with three black 
dots. Second line from 4 / 5 costal margin, more curved, at the costal and inner margins with black dots. A black 
subapical spot and one before the centre of the distal margin. Hindwing with a brown median band, near the 
inner margin with 2 black dots; exterior line plain, undulate, dark. A black spot before the centre of the distal 
margin. The lines and dots may almost disappear. 15 mm. Borneo, New Guinea, Queensland.

with brown. Marking dark brown. A small cellular spot, a spot at 2 / 5 inner margin, and one above it. Traces 
of a fine interrupted, strongly bent line from % costal margin to % inner margin, and a small spot before the 
centre of the distal margin. Hindwing at the centre of the distal margin hollowed out, with fine lines on % 
and 2/3 and 2 spots before the centre of the distal margin. 17 mm. Bathurst I. and Australia. 
22. Genus: ©irades Wkr. 
Palpi upturned, antennae of G thickened flattened. Forewing broad, distal margin uniformly bent. 
Vein 5 below the upper cell-angle, veins 6 + 7 and 8 + 9 stalked. Hindwing with tails at veins 4 and 7; 6 and 
7 sometimes stalked. In the $ there is at the inner margin a fold with a long hair-pencil and veins 1 b and 2 
thereby removed laterally. Type: theclata Gn. (Vol. XIV, pi. 67 h) from Africa. 
D. unicauda Hmps. (59 g). Violettish-greyish brown. Costal margin of forewing darker brown. At the 
costal margin a large triangular brown spot and at the inner margin a small one. Marginal lunae dark brown.

median line outside bordered with lighter. 30 mm. Ceylon. 
D. lituralis Warn . (59 g). White, dusted with brown and black. Forewing with a broad blackish median 
band which is angled in the centre of the interior side. Its exterior edge is bordered by a curved red-brown
