patagia white. Abdomen whitish. Legs dark fuscous, posterior 

 tibiae white. Forewings very elongate-triangular, hindmargin 

 rather obliquely rounded, somewhat waved ; 10 connected with 9 

 by bar ; dark fuscous, ochreous-tinged ; all veins and submedian 

 fold marked with rather strong white lines ; an indistinct trans- 

 verse whitish line rather near and parallel to hindmargin : cilia 

 white. Hindwings with hindmargin somewhat bent on vein 3, 

 anal angle rather prominent ; 6 and 7 approximated at base ; 

 whitish ; a crescentic grey discal spot ; a moderate hindmarginal 

 band slightly fuscous-tinged ; a fuscous hindmarginal line ; cilia 

 white. 



Melbourne, Victoria ; one specimen (Coll. Lucas). A very dis- 

 tinct and interesting species. 



9. EuMELEA, Jard. 



Face with slight projection of scales. Tongue developed. 

 Antennse long (g or almost 1), in $ filiform, simple. Palpi 

 moderately long, ascending, second joint rough-scaled, terminal 

 joint rather sleader, cylindrical, porrected. Thorax, femora, and 

 posterior tibiss hairy beneath. Forewings with vein 11 anasto- 

 mosing first with 12 and then strongly with 10. Hindwings with 

 veins 6 and 7 stalked. 



A small Indo-Malayan genus, of which one wide-ranging species 

 extends into the tropical regions of Australia. The slenderness 

 and length of the legs and antennae give it an abnormal appearance 

 in this group. It may probably be regarded as a special develop- 

 ment from the neighbourhood of Aspilates; I have an undescribed 

 closely allied genus from Burmah which possesses unipectinated 

 antennae in the $.
