chestnut-brown, externally suffused ; upper half of second lino 

 barely indicated with blackish scales, sharply angulated at ^ from 

 costa ; a row of several ill-defined spots of black scales on hind- 

 margin ; cilia pale grey, with whitish points. Hind- wings 

 whitish-grey, subhyaline, hind-marginal line dark fuscous, 

 suffused ; cilia whitish, with fuscous-grey parting-line. 



Of this species also the male is not known ; it is however certainly 

 allied to euraphetta, with which it also agrees in general habit, 

 but may be readily known by its central dark band, and the 

 absence of the strongly-marked first and second lines. 



One female received from neighbourhood of Duaringa, 

 Queensland taken by Mr. Gr. Barnard. 



Neplx. fornacella, n. sp. 



7". $ . Head, palpi, antenna), and thorax, dark grey ; palpi 

 obliquely ascending, reaching not much above head. Abdomen 

 dark iridescent ochreous-grey. Legs ochreous-whitish, irrorated 

 with dark fuscous, tarsi dark fuscous with whitish-ochreous rings 

 at apex of joints. Fore-wings elongate, narrow, costa gently 

 arched, hind-margin obliquely rounded ; dull grey, clouded with 

 darker, along costa rather broadly sprinkled with whitish ; first 

 and second lines obscurely darker grey ; first line angulated 

 above middle ; second line double, near hind-margin, sending a 

 short acute angulation obliquely inwards a little below costa ; 

 discal spot rather large, single, cloudy, transverse ; cilia dark 

 grey. Hind- wings dee]) golden-fulvous ; cilia greyish-fulvous, 

 with indistinct darker parting-line. 



Tolerably nearly allied to stenopterella, which it resembles in 

 shape, size, and general markings, but differs by the ascending 

 palpi and golden-fulvous hind- wings. 



Two females taken at light, Parramatta, late in February. 



Considerable dissimilarity exists between the five hitherto 

 described Australian species of Nepliopteryx, but the variation is
