hindmarginal series of blackish dots : cilia whitish, with a dark 

 fuscous basal line becoming obsolete towards anal angle. Hind- 

 wings with hind margin slightly rounded ; colour, subterminal 

 dots, and cilia as in forewings ; an obscure darker fuscous discal 

 dot ; a faintly sinuate cloudy whitish line beyond middle, pos- 

 teriorly margined with suffused dark fuscous dots. 



Duaringa and Rockhampton, Queensland, in May; three 

 specimens received from Mr. G. Barnard. The antennal pecti- 

 nations are much longer in this species than in any other except 

 E. hypenaria.

Face with short projection of scales. Antennae in ^ unipecti- 

 nated, towards apex sometimes simple. Palpi moderate, long, or 

 very long, porrected, densely rough-scaled. Forewings with vein 

 10 anastomosing with 9, or sometimes separate. Hind wings with 

 veins 6 and 7 approximated at base. 



Already a genus of considerable extent, and likely to be much 

 increased. It is confined to Australia, with the exception of two 

 small species found in the mountains of New Zealand ; these I 

 suppose to have originated from a stray immigrant entering by 

 way of Tasmania. The genus appears to be a development from 

 forms resembling Oenone and Brephos. The species are nearly 

 all dull-coloured and sometimes very variable, yet with care they 

 are not difficult to distinguish. The uniformity of structure is 

 remarkable ; the only notable variation occurs in the anastomosis 

 or separation of veins 9 and 10 of the forewings, of which both 

 forms are sometimes found in the same species.
