Heterocera" (1869), p. 80, Walker lias described an Eupithecia destrudata I'l'om 

 Australia, the type being stated to be in the Melbourne Mnseam. From the 

 description it appears very likely to be this same insect. Mr. Meyrick mentions 

 neither eupitkcciata, nor, as far as I know, any of the species of which Walker's 

 types are in the Melbourne Museum.
