cilia white, base and tips fuscous. Hindwings pale greyish- 

 fuscous, lighter towards base; cilia fuscous-whitish, much lighter 

 round anal angle and with a fuscous line near apex. 



Leongatha, (?) Victoria; one specimen. 



EuPHiLTRA EROTiCELLA, Meyr., ( E. thermozona, Turner). — I 

 have seen a specimen of this insect from the collection of Mr- 

 J. A. Kershaw, of Melboui-ne, which presents somewhat different 

 aspects to the typical specimens. For instance the ground colour 

 is yellotv, whilst the anterior edge of the second fascia is bright 

 reddish-orange throughout. I at first thought it distinct from 

 eroticella, but a careful comparison with typical specimens in my 

 own collection both from Melboui'ne and Brisbane has convinced 

 me that they are one and the same. The specimen under notice 

 was taken near Melbourne. 



Peltophora callichrysa, n sp. 



^. 13; 5. 14 mm. Head ochreous, thorax and abdomen dark 

 fuscous. Palpi long, dark fuscous, second joint whitish. Pos- 

 terior legs ochreous-grey, anterior and middle legs fuscous. 

 Antennae fuscous, somewhat annulated with white, ciliations 

 nearly 5. Forewings moderate, costa gently arched, apex some- 

 what pointed; hindmai'gin sinuate beneath apex, thence oblique; 

 ochreous-whitish, with dark fuscous markings; a narrow basal 

 fascia continued shortly along costa; a very broad fascia moderately 

 straight, edge irregular, from middle of costa to middle of inner 

 margin, occupying median third of wing ; a similar somewhat 

 narrower fascia from costa at | to anal angle, nari'owed towards 

 anal angle and narrowly continued along costa to apex; a well- 

 marked double discal dot between the two fasciae ; a fine hind- 

 marginal line : cilia dark fuscous. Hindwings bright orange; a 

 moderate fuscous apical patch; cilia dark fuscous. 



Sale, Victoria; two specimens (Coll. Lyell) in January. 



The description of theorica, Meyr., (which Mr. Meyrick has 

 transferred to the genus Philohota), approaches this closely; in 

 fact on seeing the 2 I at first considered it that species. The
