A REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OF 



EUPLCEA, WITH SYNONYMIC NOTES, AND 



DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. 



By W. H. Miskin, F.E.S. 



The Australian species of this genus are more numerous than 

 have been hitherto supposed, and with the view of collating and 

 arranging them in some order the following observations are 

 offered. Upon examining the structural characters of the various 

 groups, I find them so conflicting that I have been quite unable to 

 arrange our species according to the subdivision of the old genus 

 proposed in the various articles by Messrs. Moore and Butler, 

 and feel constrained to retain them all under the one genus. 



The following table will in some degree explain my meaning: — 



A. Outer margin of primaries rather convex. 



a. Hinder margin of primaries in ^ consider- 

 ably convex niveata. 



aa. With colourless oval patch on upperside 



of costa of secondaries in ^ Tulliolus. 



aaa. Sexual brands or scent glands none ? Darchia. 

 hh. Without costal patch. 



hhh. Brands none Misenus. 



cc. With costal patch Hijypias. 



ccc. Brand single, oval shape ; present on 



underside in ^-^ Iviridis. 



B. Outer margin more or less convex. 

 h. Hinder margin moderately convex. 



dd. Costal patch none Sylvester.
