elongate metallic-oclireous spot, becoming oelireous-white on 

 inner-margin itself ; an oblique ocbreous-brown streak from | of 

 costa to liind-margin beneath apex, and an oval ocbreous-brown 

 spot at apex ; five round black spots very close together below 

 middle of hind-margin ; a violet-metallic line on base of cilia, 

 broken into spots, especially towards apex ; rest of cilia ochreous- 

 fuscous, towards apex blackish, with two small whitish spots on 

 tips beneath apex. Hind-wings with basal half yellow with a 

 few scattered dark fuscous scales ; apical half dark fuscous, 

 sending a cloudy protuberance inwards above middle ; cilia 

 blackish-fuscous, on costa yellowish. 



This and the following species diif er from all the preceding by 

 the much more oblique hind-margin of fore-wings ; the two are 

 nearly allied, but immediately separable from each other by the 

 different hind- wings. 



Two females taken amongst dry scrub at Parramatta in 

 November. 



Eups. melanostrepta, n. sp. 



^ ? . 6". Head, palpi, and thorax ochreous- whitish, mixed 

 with ochreous-grey. Antennae ochreous-whitish, annulated with 

 dark fuscous. Abdomen ochreous-grey. Legs ochreous-whitish, 

 anterior and middle pair irrorated with grey. Fore-wings 

 elongate, hind-margin very oblique ; brownish-ochreous, so 

 densely irrorated with ochreous-whitish scales that the ground- 

 colour is entirely obscured, except on a few faint transverse 

 streaks ; two more distinct transverse ochreous-brown streaks in 

 middle from costa to inner-margin, divergent above middle, 

 approximated on inner-margin, where they enclose a small white 

 spot ; before these the inner-margin is obscurely whitish nearly 

 to base ; an oblique ochreous-brown streak from f of costa to 

 hind-margin below apex, and an indistinct ochreous-brown oblique 

 streak immediately before apex ; surface of wing strewn with 

 ochreous-whitish hair-scales towards lower part of hind-margin ;
