TEAPEZITINAE

MESODINA 
The auleiinae o± this species end in definite and very blnnt clubs stronoly suggestive of M halyzia 
The descnphon IS lyiilten from a male (type o’) taken at Carnarvon, and from a coloured' drawing 
of the type female m the Britisli Museum. In addition to the type male, we have a pair taken at Pindar 
in July 1910 which ditter Irom the above description in the following points. 
In the male the spot of area la of forewing is very small and confined to the loAver half of the 
aica. the cential band of liind^\ing is shorter; the cilia of both wings are pale yellow tlirouglioiit' 
beneath, the spots of hindwing are only faintly indicated. 
In the female all the spots of forewing are pale yellow: the central band of hindwing is shorter, 
not extending beyond vein 2 or vein 6: the cilia of both wings are very faintly chequered with a few 
broii^n hairs at each ^ein: beneath, both Avings are imler: the central band of hindwing is absent and 
tbe spots of hindAving are very faintly indicated. 
This suggests that the more and interior produces a g'eographical race of the siiecies. 
Genus ANISYNTA Lower. 
Transactions Royal Society South Australia 1911, p. 141. 
Antennae more than half the length of costa: clubs eA'enly bent at middle, and AAutli tips blunt (Fig. 
AJ 4, 5). Palpi AA’itli third joint distinct, stout and porrect. Hind tibiae Avith tAA^o pairs of spurs. Fore¬ 
wing with costa nearly straight, and termen slightly shorter than dorsum: vein 5 nearer to A'ein G than 
to vein 4: vein 2 nearer to vein 4 than to base of Aving: male Avithout a discal sexmark. 
Type. AniHynta cynone HeAvitsoii. 
This is a sonieAA'hat heterogeneous group, but the species all agree in ha\dng the characters giA’en aboA’^e: 
in other points they differ, A. ta^mcinica, 'polysema and H. argenteo-ornata are more stoutly built 
than the remaining species and in that respect resemble the genus Trapezites. But for the absence 
of the sexmai’k, A. cynone approaches closely to Motasingha domimila.

tf. Above. ForeAving dark broAvn Avith base faintly suffused olive broAvn: sometimes a faint dot in 
cell, faint traces of subaiDieal dots, and a faint pair of discal s^Dots in areas 2 and 3, i:)ale yellow: 
cilia dark broAvn. HindAving dark broAA'n: a central area suffused oliA'e broAvn: cilia, dark broAvn. 
Bexeath. Foiwing broAA'n-black: costa and apex orange-broAvn: dots of upper surface absent: 
cilia dark broAA’n. HindAAnng orange-broAAm: three obscure dots, in cell, in base of area 7 and in 
area la at half, red-broAvn: a series of faint discai dots, red-broAvn: cilia orange-broAAni, at A'eins faintly 
brown. 
2. Above. ForeAving brown A\dth base faintly suffused oIIa’c broA\m; a small spot in cell, and three 
small transA'erse subapical s^jots, pale y^elloAv: a pair of small discal si^ots in areas 2 and 3, pale yelloAv. 
HindAving dark broAvn suffused olh'e broAvn. 
Bexeath. ForeAving as in male: traces of three subapical dots, pale yelloAv. HindAving as in 
male.

This species apipears to be confined to soutliAvestern Australia. Some examples shoAv no traces of the 
pale yelloAv spots above, and these spots are ahvays more or less obscured.

Above. ForeAving rich dark broAvn: long hairs of basal third, barely reaching costa, orange-broAvn: 
a small subquadrate spot in end of cell, dull orange: three minute transverse subapical dots, and a

reaching costa, orange-broAAm; cilia rich black, faintly edged dull orange betAveen A’eins.
