23. Piel. ingens, Walk. 

 (Charagia ingens, Walk. Suppl. 596 ; Pielus erythrinus, ib. 599.) 

 (J. 137-156 mm. Head, thorax, and abdomen pale brownish- 

 ochreous ; abdomen sometimes suffused with very pale rosy except 

 towards apex. Antennae dark fuscous, pectinations IJ. Fore- 

 wings elongate, subtriangular, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, 

 hindmargin extremely obliquely rounded continuously with inner 

 margin, not sinuate ; unicolorous pale brownish-ochreous or 

 ochreous-reddish. Hind wings pale brownish-ochreous or yel- 

 lowish-ochreous, towards base sometimes suffused with very pale 

 rosy. 



Fernshaw, Victoria ; four specimens. This species has been 

 alleged to occur in New Zealand, but I believe by a simple error. 



24. Piel. hyalinatus, HS. 



[Hepialus hyalinatus, HS. Lep. Exot. I. 50 ; Pielus hyalinatus, 

 Walk. Bomb. 1576; P. tasmanice, ib. 1577; Rhizopsyche Swain- 

 soni, Scott, Austr. Lep. 11. pi. iv. ; Pielus imperialis, Olliff, Proc. 

 Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, 1887, 1015, pi. xxxix.) 



(J^. 80-165. Head and thorax brown, sometimes reddish or 

 ochreous-tinged, crown and posterior part of thorax sometimes 

 suffused with whitish-ochreous. Antennae dark fuscous, pectina- 

 tions 2. Fore wings elongate, subtriangular, costa gently arched, 

 apex obtuse, hindmargin very oblique, gently rounded continuously 

 with inner margin ; brown or light brownish-ochreous, irregularly 

 marked with parallel labyrinthine paler or whitish lines, alter- 

 nating with dark fuscous or blackish, tending to enclose irregular 

 darker sometimes whitish-centred spots, especially in disc between 

 discal and posterior streaks, very variable, sometimes more or less 

 wholly obsolete ; a very irregular rather broad white longi- 

 tudinal streak in disc from near base to |, sometimes hardly paler 

 than ground colour, sometimes variously interrupted, or extended 

 to connect with posterior streak ; a similar oblique streak from 

 apex to above anal angle, similarly very variable : cilia rather 

 dark fuscous. Hindwings pale grey, light brownish-ochreous, 

 fuscous, or dark grey, base sometimes considerably darker.
