Variations: The antennae may be almost entirely brown and veins Ml and M2 may vary considerably in their origin, and instead of arising as herein described they may be normal or issue as in trifasciata. In this connection it might be mentioned that Krober (Ent.

In this connection it might be mentioned that Krober (Ent.

As the species is unknown to me the question of the possible synonomy of Pseudoloxocera will have to be left in abeyance. Holotype and Allotype (G. H. Hardy, Brisbane, March, 1929, in copula) in G.
