middle : cilia fuscous with rows of pale points, round apex with 

 a darker line. Hindwings fuscous; cilia light fuscous. 



Brisbane, Queensland, in September; one specimen. This only 

 differs from holomelas in the ferruginous marks of forewings, and 

 somewhat longer tuft of palpi; but the difference in the character 

 of the localities renders it improbable that the two forms are con- 

 specific. 



269. Y. holomelas, Low. 



(Aiiarsia holomela, Low., Trans. Roy. Soc. S. Austr. 1897, 57.) 

 (J, 14 mm. Head, antennse, thorax, and abdomen dark bronzy- 

 fuscous. Palpi dark fuscous, second joint whitish-sprinkled 

 towards apex, tuft short, terminal joint whitish posteriorly. 

 Legs dark fuscous, obscurely whitish-ringed. Forewings with 

 costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen obliquely rounded; dark 

 fuscous, faintly purplish-tinged; stigmata faintly darker, hardly 

 traceable : cilia fuscous, with darker line round apex. Hindwings 

 fuscous, darker posteriorly; cilia fuscous. 



Broken Hill, New South Wales, in June; type only seen. I 

 conceive that holomelas is the correct masculine form of the in- 

 correct feminine holomela. 



270. Y. plasticus, n.sp. 



(J9- 16-18 mm. Head and thorax light ochreous. Palpi 

 whitish-ochreous, second joint rather dark fuscous except apex, 

 tuft moderately long, terminal joint dark fuscous towards apex. 

 Antennae pale ochreous spotted with fuscous. Abdomen whitish- 

 ochreous. Legs dark fuscous, hairs of posterior tibiae pale 

 ochreous. Forewings with costa gently arched, apex obtuse, 

 termen slightly sinuate, rather oblique; yellow-ochreous, sprinkled 

 with fuscous; plical and second discal stigmata small, obscure, 

 dark fuscous; a small suffused dark fuscous spot before tornus : 

 cilia pale yellow-ochreous. Hindwings grey, darker posteriorly; 

 cilia light grey. 



Sydney, New South Wales, in December; three specimens.
