inner margin, anteriorly or wholly carmine- tinged, margined 

 anteriorly by tlie transverse dark grey line ; a round suffused 

 blackish-grey spot on inner margin at }, in some specimens very 

 conspicuous, in others absent ; an indistinct dark fuscous dot in 

 disc at I : cilia carmine, towards anal angle light grey. Hindwings 

 in male grey- whitish, in female grey, paler towards base ; cilia in 

 male grey- whitish, in female whitish- grey. 



Conspicuously characterised by the grey ground colour, bright 

 rosy veins, and suffused yellow dorsal spot ; not variable, except 

 in the appearance of the dorsal blackish spot beyond middle. 



Eight specimens taken together in September on a fence ne.ir 

 Sydney after a high wind, probably dislodged from EiLcalypti 



3. ECLECTA, II (J. 



Head loosely haired, sidetufts moderate, rough, meeting, rather 

 projecting between antenna). Antennae in male thickened, serrate, 

 closely and shortly ciliated (^), basal joint stout, without pecten. 

 Palpi moderately long, second joint oblique, somewhat exceeding 

 base of antennae, densely scaled, somewhat roughened beneath, 

 terminal joint shorter than second, erect, stout, roughened with 

 scales beneath. Thorax with an oblique posterior crest. Fore- 

 wings elongate, rather broad, apex acute, hindmargin obliquely 

 concave. Hindwings as broad as f orewings, elongate-ovate, hind- 

 margin very faintly sinuate beneath apex, cilia ],. Abdomen 

 moderate. Posterior tibia3 with short appressed hairs. Forewings 

 with vein 7 to hindmargin, 2 from before angle of cell. Hind- 

 wings with vein 5 bent and approximated to 4 at base. 



Also a peculiar genus, related to Eochra ; characterised 

 amongst the genera with vein 7 to hindmargin, 5 of hindwings 

 bent, and antennte without basal pecten, by the crested thorax, 

 short ciliations of antenna?, and unusually short cilia of hindwings. 



The single species is confined to Australia.
