FURTHER NOTES ON THE LEPIDOPTERA OF EBOR 

 SCRUB, N.S.W. 



By a. Jefferis Turner, M.D., F.E.S. 



I had hoped to have explored this Scrub more thoroughly 

 this season, but circumstances have prevented me from paying 

 it more than two short visits, on February 2nd and 4th, 1915. 

 On these visits, I took thirty species of Lepidoptera, of which 

 only seven were obtained last year, but the additions are of some 

 interest. 



I now believe that the species I described as Tortrix para- 

 plesia is really T. sohriana Wlk, I took an exactly similar 

 specimen at Ebor, some miles from the Scrub; and it is also 

 recorded from N.S.W.: Sydney, Bulli— Vic: Melbourne, War- 

 ragul, Gisborne — Tasm. : Hobart. Out of thirty species* 

 taken last year, four were known from other localities; twenty- 

 two were described as new, and six were undetermined; but of 

 the last, I now describe three more, having obtained further 

 material. Of the twenty -three additional species taken this 

 year, thirteen are known from other localities, nine are here 

 described as new, and two remain undetermined. Undoubtedly 

 my first impression as to the peculiarity of the fauna is to some 

 extent corrected, but it still remains marked; for, of a total of 

 fifty-five species, thirty-two appear new, eighteen are known 

 from elsewhere, and five are undetermined. No doubt when 

 the scrubs of the neighbouring district, as at Dorrigo, are ex- 

 plored, the Ebor Scrub fauna will appear less isolated. 



* The following corrections must be made in my former list. Oi Xysma- 

 todona 'polystona, I have an example taken at Jenolan, N.S.W. ; Enchop- 

 tila idiopis, as pointed out to me by Mr. Meyrick, belongs to the Amphi- 

 therinse, and a species •f Oiiephasia, previously oveilooked, is described 

 below.
