458 DESCEIPTIOIS'S OF ArSTEALIAX MICEO-LEPIDOPTEKA, 



A very distinct species, in form of wing most approaching E. 

 aclea, but easily known from the other species with grey hind- 

 wings, by its uniform pale pinkish f orewings, and yery distinct 

 discal dots. 



I took one specimen near Sydney in September, and have 

 received a second from Mr. E. Gruest, who states that it is locally 

 not uncommon on the Mount Lofty Eange, South Australia, in 

 December, frequenting Miicahjptus scrub. 



6. EUPHILTEA, 71. Cj. 



Head with appressed scales, sidetufts moderate, spreading. 

 Antennae in male — (?), basal joint rather short, without pecten. 

 Palpi moderate, second joint not reaching base of antennae, with 

 rough projecting scale beneath, especially in middle, terminal 

 joint as long as second, recurved. Thorax smooth. Eorewings 

 elongate, moderate, apex rounded, hindmargin obliquely rounded. 

 Hindwings considerably narrower than fore wings, elongate- ovate, 

 hindmargin rounded, cilia f . Abdomen somewhat dilated, strongly 

 margined. Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs. Porewings 

 with vein 7 to costa, 2 from somewhat before angle of cell. 

 Hindwings normal. 



The termination of vein 7 of the f orewings in the costa renders 

 this genus exceptional in this position ; but the accordance with 

 Zonopetala is so marked in all other particulars, especially the 

 somewhat peculiar palpi, that I consider its location here un- 

 doubted. I think the difference of venation to have arisen in 

 this instance incidentally from the narrowing of the wings, and 

 regard the genus as a development (with retrograde characters) 

 from Zonopetala. 



27. Eupli. eroticella, n. sp. 



Minor, nivea, thorace antice nigro, alis ant. fascia lata ante 

 medium, altera angusta post medium, macula postica ciliisque 

 ferrugineis, maculis apicis angulique analis in ciliis nigris ; post, 

 griseis.
