several species, whilst othei^s of the same species are quite normal ; 

 it cannot, therefore, in the case of this genus be used as a point 

 of distinction. The number of additional species in this genus 

 being large, I will give at the end of them (in the next instalment) 

 a tabulation of the whole species of the genus, to facilitate their 

 determination. 



540. (68a.) Eul. camelaea, n.sp. 



(J. 17 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax whitish-ochreous, second 

 joint of palpi brownish ; shoulders pinkish-tinged. Antennae grey, 

 oiliations f. (Abdomen broken.) Legs light grey ringed with 

 whitish-ochreous, posterior pair whitish-ochreous. Forewings 

 elongate, costa moderately ai'ched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin 

 obliquely rounded ; whitish-ochreous ; a large dark reddish-fuscous 

 white-margined blotch extending on inner margin from i to |, 

 gradually narrowing upwards, i-eaching more than half across 

 wing, u'iper side rounded but deeply triangularly indented before 

 middle ; a cloudy greyish-pink band from middle of costa to apex 

 of this blotch, posteriorly mai'gined by a brown line suffused with 

 ferruginous ; a curved transverse linear dark fuscous mark in disc, 

 its lower extremity touching upper posterior angle of blotch ; a 

 dark brown streak, suffused beneath with ferruginous, along costa 

 from base, interrupted by median band, beyond it leaving costa 

 and continued in a strong outward curve to anal angle, broader 

 and more suffused anteriorly in disc, attenuated and nearly obsolete 

 on anal angle ; the curve is posteriorly well-defined and margined 

 by a whitish-ochreous line except towards costa ; beyond this line 

 the apical area is wholly greyish-pink : cilia pale ochreous. Hind- 

 wings whitish-ochreous ; apical half dark grey, continued as a 

 suffused streak along hindmargin to anal angle ; cilia grey, on 

 inner mai-gin whitish-ochreous. 



Beech worth, Victoria ; one specimen in November (Coll. 

 Lucas). Extremely distinct in marking from any other, but in 

 some respects not unlike Hopliiica colonias.
