REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA: DREPANIDAE, LIMACODIDAE, ZYGAENIDAE. By A. Jeffeeis Tuenek, M.D., F.E.S. [Read 29th September, 1926.] The present instalment, after a few supplementary notes on families previously dealt with, contains a revision of three unrelated families, one of which is moderately represented in our fauna, and the other two only to a small extent. Fam. Lymantriadae. Unrecognized species. Orgyia aneliopa Low., Peoc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1915, p. 478. Fam. Anthelidae. Anthela pyeehobaphes. Turn., Pap. Proc. Roy. Soc. Tas., 1925, p. 114. Tasmania: Zeehan. Anthela phaeozona. Turn., Pap. Proc. Roy. Soc. Tas., 1925, p. 115. Tasmania: Bothwell. Anthela excellens Wlk. I have lately seen three ^ examples. This species may be recognized by its brilliant orange-red wings, thorax, and abdomen, contrasting sharply with the grey-whitish head. The ^ expands to 70 and 80 mm. The antemedian and sub-terminal lines and fuscous suffusion of forewing are variable; the antemedian line may be absent, or there may be two. The discal dots are absent on the upper surface, except the posterior dot on forewing, which is slightly indicated; beneath they are well developed and white-centred. Queensland: Montville (1,500 ft.), near Nambour, Brisbane, Bunya Mts. (3,000 ft). Anthela astata, n. sp. da-Taros, Unstable, variable. J". 50-80 mm. $. 84-110 mm. Head, thorax, and abdomen brown, grey-brown, ochreous-brown, or greenish-ochreous. Palpi fuscous. Antennae whitish or yellow; pectinations in J" 6 to 8, in 2 li to 2, brownish. Less fuscous finely irrorated with whitish; coxae and anterior femora reddish-brown, ochreous-grey, or greenish; femora with a white apical spot. Forewings triangular, costa straight to middle, thence strongly arched in (^, in $ gently and uniformly arched, apex pointed, slightly produced, often in $ strongly produced, termen slightly bowed, scarcely oblique; brown, grey-brown, ochreous-brown, or greenish-ochreous; often with darker suffusion or with irregular fuscous blotches; two whitish discal dots usually outlined with fuscous beneath one-third and one-half costa; usually an A
