76. Eld. exanimis, ii. sp. 



Minor, alls ant. oclireo-albidis, punctis disci tribus, ? etiam 

 serie punctorum postica flexuosa saturate fuscis, saepe obsoletis ; 

 post, griseis ; humeri s nigris. 



S ? . 15-18 mm. Head and palpi white, second joint suffused 

 with fuscous-grey towards base, terminal joint anteriorly dark 

 fuscous towards apex. Antennae dark fuscous, more whitish 

 towards apex. Thorax whitish, with a dark fuscous spot on each 

 shoulder, sometimes connected in middle. Abdomen ochreous- 

 whitish. Anterior and middle legs grey, beneath white ; posterior 

 legs ochreous- whitish. Forewings rather strongly dilated, in 

 female more elongate, costa moderately arched, apex rounded ; 

 hindmargin oblique, strongly rounded ; whitish, slightly ochreous- 

 tinged ; a dark fuscous dot in disc before middle, often obsolete ; 

 a second, larger and generally distinct, sometimes double, in disc 

 beyond middle : a third almost directly beneath first on fold, 

 often obsolete ; sometimes a few dark grey scales near hind- 

 margin, faintly indicating the transverse line ; in female a distinct 

 row of dark grey dots parallel and very near to hindmargin, and 

 an obscure greyish suffusion between second discal dot and anal 

 angle, sometimes obsolete ; cilia white, towards base faintly 

 ochreous-tinged. Hindwings grey, lighter at base ; cilia whitish, 

 with a cloudy grey line near base. 



This and the following species are readily distinguished from 

 JE. coiivlctelJa and JE. i^fcinteleUa by their ochreous- whitish fore- 

 wings and white heads ; E. exanimis is best separated from E, 

 pallidella by the blackish shoulders, but differs also in the usually 

 more distinct discal dots, and the greyer hindwings. 



Common round Sydney ?ind Melbourne, from November to 

 January.
