alone known to me, lias on the breast a cuirass of pearly scales, 

 indicating near relationship with the preceding species ; it would 

 therefore be conceivable that they should be the sexes of the 

 same species, but the difference in neuration, as well as in super- 

 ficial marking, renders this hardly probable. 



EUCAMPYLA, n. g. 

 Euc. etheiella, n. sp. 



(^ . 9|-". Head and thorax light fuscous-grey. Palpi dark 

 fuscous-grey, towards base whitish-grey. Antennae dark fuscous. 

 Abdomen whitish ochreous. Legs dark fuscous, posterior tibiae 

 light ochreous above. Forewings very narrow at base, gradually 

 dilated throughout, costaat first straight, towards apex moderately 

 arched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin very oblique, strongly 

 rounded ; a tuft of hairs concealed under the folded base of costa 

 beneath ; rather light dull fuscous, sprinkled with dark fuscous 

 scales ; costa suffused with dark fuscous ; an indistinct narrow 

 dark fuscous transverse line from two-fifths of costa to a little 

 before middle of inner margin, strongly bent outwards somewhat 

 above middle ; a cloudy dark fuscous transverse spot in disc at 

 two-thirds ; a narrow cloudy dark fuscous transverse line from 

 five-sixths of costa to inner margin before anal angle, sending a 

 sharply angulated tooth inwards above middle, and appearing to 

 be margined posteriorly by a paler line, through the absence of 

 dark fuscous scales from the groundcolour ; a cloudy dark fuscous 

 hindmarginal line ; cilia ochreous-grey, with a pale ochreous 

 basal line. Hind wings whitish, costa towards apex suffused with 

 light fuscous-grey ; some short whitish-ochreous hairs at base ; a 

 cloudy grey hindmarginal line ; cilia white, round apex ochreous- 

 tinged and with a faint grey line. 



Resembles the genus JEphestia in form and colouring, as well 

 as in the costal tuft of hairs of the male, but differs markedly in 

 neuration. One specimen taken at light near Sydney in August.
