G. nigella Warr. (59 k). Forewing at the costal margin broad velvety black, the rest faded grey, divided 
into 2 areas by a brownish-black triangle between the cell and submedian fold. Inner margin narrow black. 
Traces of 2 dark transverse lines. Costal margin of hindwing blackish-brown, 2 short black thick lines behind 
the cell. Inner margin black, the fold white with an ochreous brown hair-pencil. 22 mm. New Guinea. 
25. Genus: Homoplexis Warr. 
Forewing short and broad. Costal margin bent before the apex, distal margin bent, inner margin 
straight. Hindwing projecting at the apex, then straight to a little dent at vein 3. In the £ the space below 
the submedian fold is distorted, without scales, with a long hair-pencil as in Dirades, in the $ bent to the anal 
angle. Neuration as in Epiplema. Type: planimargo Warr. 
H. planimargo Warr. Forewing violettish-grey, lines olive brown, fine and sharp. The first from % 
costal margin bent to the centre of the inner margin. The second from % costal margin to % inner margin 
with an outward beak on vein 4, then incurved and parallel to the first. On the hindwing only the exterior 
line is distinct, slightly bent. The fold in the $ whitish. Hair-pencil ochreous brown. 20 mm. New Guinea. 
26. Genus: Lobogelkes Warr. 
Forewing with straight margins. Costal margin of hindwing only bent, not excised, at the base and 
apex with hairs. Distal margin excised below the apex. In the the anal angle is broadly lobate, in the $ a 
blunt tooth at vein 4. Neuration of forewing: vein 2 near the base, 3 before the cell-end, 5 in the centre of 
the cross-vein, 6 -j- 7 on a long stalk, 8 4-9 stalked. In the hindwing vein 2 arises near the base. Between 
it and the cellular vein in the <4 a hyaline spot. Type: interrupta Warr. 
L. interrupta Warr. (= radiata Lucas). Dark grey, at the costal and inner margins dusted with dark 
brown, in the centre a radial ochreous brown stripe. Dark grey spots at the costal margin on Yz> % and %. 
On the hindwing the light surface is more extensive, traces of an angled dark exterior line. Iron-grey marginal 
lunae. — In despecta Warr. the lines are distinct from % and 2 / 3 costal margin excurved to Y 3 and % inner 
margin, the latter below the cell incurved. A third line from % costal margin to the anal angle. All interrupted 
in the middle and submedian fold by brown radial stripes. On the hindwing the exterior line fine black, 
anteriorly edged with white. 20—25 mm. Queensland. 
27. Genus: Macrostylodes Warr. 
Forewing with rounded margins, hindwing finely dentate at veins 4 and 7. Neuration of forewing: 
vein 2 near the base, 3 4 4 on a long stalk, cross-vein absent, veins 5 + 6 + 7, 8 + 9 and 10 +- 11 stalked. 
In the hindwing veins 3 + 4 and 6 + 7 stalked, 5 absent. Type: deformis Warr. 
M. deformis Warr. Forewing white, dusted with dark brown. First line at Yz costal margin, indistinct, 
second line at 2 / 3 somewhat curved, almost vertical. Before the latter at the inner margin more densely covered 
with dark brown scales and a brown streak from the centre of the inner margin, terminating erect into a spot. 
Marginal area at the anal angle darker; 2 black subapical spot. Hindwing with 2 distinct lines, the second 
excurved before the lower dent. 12 mm. New Guinea. 
28. Genus: Monoliolodes Warr. 
Fore wing obtusely produced at the apex, distal margin bent, anal angle lobate. Hindwing at the costal 
margin strongly incurved, without a hair-tuft, apex produced, with a large dent at vein 7 , especially in the +. 
Neuration of forewing: veins 2 , 3 and 4 near the cell-end, 5 a little above the centre of the cross-vein, veins 6 4* I 
on a long stalk, 8 + 94- 10 stalked. In the hindwing veins 3 + 4 and 6 + 7 stalked. Type: subfalcata Warr. 
M. subfalcata Warr. Forewing grey, slightly dusted with red-brown, with a broad dark grey band the 
interior edge of which is strongly hollowed out from 2 / 5 costal margin to % inner margin; its exterior edge from 
2 / 5 costal margin to % inner margin, below the middle strongly excurved; margins somewhat lighter. At the 
anal angle a dark shadow. On the hindwing the inner margin of the median band is indistinct, the exterior 
margin more distinct. 20—25 mm. Queensland. 
M. ustimacula Warr. (59 k). Forewing ochreous brown, dusted with grey. From the inner margin an 
erect blackish-brown antemedian shadow, not reaching the costal margin, and a thick black line from % inner 
margin erect almost to vein 6 . Close behind it another rust-brown and black line. Hindwing blackish-brown, 
with an ochreous-brown radial streak through the centre of the wing and 2 parallel bent black lines. 18 mm. 
-New Guinea.
