Eups. percussana, JFkr., Brit. Mus. Cat., 998. 

 '' (^ . 1". Head, thorax, and abdomen cupreous-blackish. 

 Fore-wings with hind-margin moderately oblique ; cupreous- 

 blackish, with transverse cinereous lines, some of which posteriorly 

 are blue-metallic ; disc near hind-margin with minute longitudinal 

 cinereous hair-scales ; hind-marginal dots deep black, partly 

 bordered with metallic blue. Hind- wings cupreous-blackish ; 

 cilia pale cinereous. Tasmania." 



The above is Walker's description, divested of superfluities and 

 interpreted ; brief and incomplete as it is, it is sufficient to clearly 

 indicate a species of this genus distinct from any I have seen. I 

 thought it best therefore to include the descriptions of this and 

 the following species in the present paper, to direct attention 

 towards them, and render the subject as complete as possible. 



Eups. carpocapsella, W"kr., Brit. Mus. Cat., 998. 



'' $ . 7". Head, thorax, and abdomen slaty- cinereous. Fore- 

 wings rounded, slaty-cinereous, posteriorly cupreous-tinged, with 

 transverse brown streaks, interrupted towards the base, but 

 complete posteriorly, and forming the ground-colour along hind- 

 margin ; three deep black cupreous-bordered spots on lower part 

 of hind-margin ; cilia slaty-cinereous, tinged with cupreous. 

 Hind-wings yellow, with a very broad dark fuscous border, 

 excavated interiorly; cilia partly yellow. Brisbane, Queensland." 



The description is Walker's, similarly treated as the preceding ; 

 I have not seen the specimen, but it is certainly an Eupselia, 

 nearly allied to E. leatella, but without the dark fuscous triangular 

 patch on inner margin. 



Eups. beatella, Wh\, Brit. Mus. Cat., 999. 



$ . 6^". Head, palpi, and thorax pale ashy-grey, crown and 



upper portion of thorax suffused with dark fuscous. Antennae 



pale grey. Abdomen yellowish-fuscous. Legs whitish, anterior 



and middle tibise thickened with scales ; anterior tibiae and tarsi
