Not unlike a miniature Philobola fascialis, Fabr., but without 

 the basal fascia. 



Atheropla cremnopelta, n.sp. 



^. 18 mm. Head, palpi and thorax pale ochreous, second joint 

 of palpi externally fuscous except apex, terminal joint as long as 

 second. Legs ochreous-fuscous, suffusedly banded with white. 

 Abdomen greyish- ochreous, anal tuft paler. Antennae fuscous. 

 Forewings elongate, moderate, costa gently arched, apex round- 

 pointed, hindmargin hardly sinuate beneath apex, oblique; pale 

 clear ochreous, markings blackish; a minute dot before \ of disc, 

 and a second slightly beyond and beneath; a well-marked dot at 

 end of cell; a row of well-defined spots along costa, continued 

 right round hindmargin to anal angle, commencing immediately 

 above dot at end of cell; a large quadrate spot just before anal 

 angle: cilia ochreous, becoming darker on basal half. Hind wings 

 pale grey; cilia as in forewings. 



Hamilton, Victoria; one specimen in December. 



Distinct from the other described species by the large anal spot. 



(ECOPHORA HYPOXANTHA, n.sp. 



9. 24 mm. Head, palpi and thorax deep reddish-fuscous, palpi 

 very long, second joint suffusedly irrorated with white. Legs 

 ochreous-whitish, posterior and middle pair yellowish-tinged. 

 Forewings elongate, rather broad, slightly dilated, costa rather 

 strongly arched on basal half, apex rounded, hindmargin obliquely 

 rounded, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa ; deep reddish ; extreme 

 costal edge from near base to about f pale yellowish; a blackish 

 dot in disc at |, a second immediately below, and a third larger 

 at I ; a very ill-defined row of hindmarginal dots : cilia deep 

 reddish. Hind wings bright yellow; a fuscous hindmarginal band, 

 broadest at apex and along inner margin, almost obsolete in 

 middle of hindmargin; cilia blackish. 



Broken Hill, N.S.W.; one specimen in November. 



A doubtful species; the palpi would seemingly require a new 

 genus.
