of the forewings ; it is not closely allied to any other. Lewin's 

 figure is a tolerable representation of my specimens, and is, I 

 think, undoubtedly identifiable with them. 



The larva is represented by Lewin as blackish-green, with the 

 spots pale yellow, and is stated to feed on Emlotforium speciosis- 

 simum fProteaceceJ, living gregariously in webs until nearly full- 

 grown, in swampy places near Sydney. I have not been able to 

 verify these facts ; the food-plant given does not now grow within 

 several miles of Sydney, and the original localities have been 

 probably built over. 



I took two males on gas-lamps near Sydney, in December ; 

 and have seen another taken at Parramatta in October. (Vid. 

 addenda.)
