leucanioidcs. on its lower edge; hindwing fuscous, the fringe paler; — the ah. leucanioides Guen. (lie, d) is a paler 
grey form with the central fascia diffusely darker; the stigmata clearer, and the fuscous patch beyond 
facilis. reniform more conspicuous; — in facilis Walk. (11 d) the forewing is more palpably dark grey brown, with 
sujfusa. scarcely a trace of the rufous tinge; — another form, — ab. suffusa ab. nov. — is still darker, the 
forewing being suffused with deep fuscous. Moreton Bay, N. S. Wales; Gisborne, Victoria; Parkside, 
8. Australia; — the ah. facilis also from Hobart, Tasmania. 
cpundoides. D. epundoides Guen. (= punctivena Walk.) (lid). Forewing fuscous black, with some whitish 
irroration, especially at base and along costal and inner margins; inner and outer lines indistinct, con¬ 
versely paler edged; the inner oblique and waved; the outer dentate and oblique below vein 4; subterminal 
line a row of white dots on short black streaks; claviform stigma a small black mark; orbicular a black 
point; reniform small and ill-defined, formed of black and white scales; hindwing fuscous, greyish toAvards 
base and costa. Tasmania. 
29. Genus: Il^popteridia Warr. 
Differs from Dasygaster Guen. in the abdomen of the $ being elongate, with the praeanal and 
anal segments clothed with very long tufts of hair, and without the shaggy lateral tufts which distinguish that 
genus; while the thorax beneath bears large lateral tufts, expansible as Avinglets, beneath the hindwings; the 
antennae of the <$ are ciliated and armed with bristles; the termen of hindwing is strongly excised between 
apex and middle. Type Id. reversa Moore. 
rcvcr a. H. reversa Moore (11 d). Forewing pale ochreous grey tinged with pale brown and irrorated with fusc¬ 
ous; the lines indistinct, conversely grey-edged; the inner waved, oblique, the outer minutely dentate, the 
teeth produced to black and white points on the veins, excurved above, oblique from vein 4; subterminal 
line pale, diffuse, rising obliquely from apex; terminal spots black; claviform stigma obsolete, or sIioaaii only 
by a slight pale mark; orbicular and reniform both small and pale, with centres and outlines fuscous; hindAving 
pale greyish ochreous, with the veins darker and the fringe pale. Recorded from Cuddapah and the Nilgiri 
Hills, Madras, from Ceylon, and Brisbane, Queensland; also occurs in Ternate, Buru, and the Solomon Is¬ 
lands; these island forms, like the Australian examples, are larger than the Indian, and may be distinguished 
fori lor. as subsp. fortior subsp. nov. (11 e); the Queensland specimens, all $$, having the veins darker-marked, and the 
reniform stigma paler and more prominent; the examples from the islands, all <$(§, are somewhat worn 
and pale, but differ in their larger size. 
albipuncta. H. albipuncta spec. nov. (= reversa Hmps. ab. 1) (lie). Forewing ochreous overlaid with brownish 
grey, sprinkled with black scales, with a faint purplish sheen when fresh; a short black streak at base of 
submedian fold; inner line curved, but indistinct, marked only by black spots on the costa, folds, and veins; 
outer line lunulate dentate, strongly excurved in upper part of wing, the lunules inwardly marked by black 
Avedge shaped spots between veins; median vein and veins towards termen white; a pale oblique streak from 
apex to end of cell, becoming broader and more diffuse below; terminal area beyond this streak darker, 
containing a black spot on each side of vein 3 on its inner edge; the cell and median space below 
suffused with deeper brownish; stigmata with orange centres ringed with white; the orbicular small and round; 
the reniform curved, oblique, with a black dot beloAV on the white-marked median vein, followed by a black shade 
betAveen base of veins 4 and 5; terminal black dots small; fringe brown cut by white at end of veins; hindwing 
fuscous, paler at base and inner margin; the fringe pale with a rufous grey line; underside of forewing reddish 
grey, of hindwing ochreous with reddish grey costa; both wings with dark outer line; head, thorax, and abdomen 
grey with slight rufous tinge. A large species, the $$ expanding 44 mm. and the 18 mm., from the 
upper Aroa River, New Guinea; several specimens in the Tring Museum. 
30. Genus: Tmctolopliota Hmps. 
Tongue fully developed; frons smooth; palpi obliquely upturned, the second segment long haired 
in front, the third porrect; antennae of $ with sessile fascicles of cilia; prothorax with slight crest; fore¬ 
wing without transverse lines, marked with horizontal streaks as in the genus Sideridis, to which it is probably 
allied. Type T. propria Walk. 
propria. T. propria Walk. (lie). Forewing pale grey brown, with a rufous or ochreous flush; a conspicuous 
black streak below base of cell to below origin of vein 2; the extremity of median nervure diffusely fuscous, 
with a black streak above it and base of vein 4; outer line indicated by a series of black dots on veins, 
excurved above and oblique below vein 4, where it is joined by a dark triangular shade from termen beloAV 
apex; a i’oav of distinct black terminal dots; orbicular and reniform stigmata small, greyish, obscurely black-
