Nearest to H. Umhata, which it closely resembles in the fore- 

 wings, but immediately distinguished by the entire absence of the 

 dark border to the hindwings, and the pale yellowish cilia. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; four specimens on a fence in 

 October. 



518. (4.3a.) Hel. eudoxa, n. sp. 



Media, alis ant. griseo-luteis, puncfco plicte, altero disci maculam 

 parvam superjacente, linea postica costam non attingente, sti-iga 

 marginis postici nebulosa in dorsum medium perducta saturatius 

 fusco-purpureis ; post, flavis, ciliis saturate griseis. 



^2- 21-25 mm. Head bright yellow. Palpi whitish-ochreous. 

 Antennas fuscous. Thorax light greyish-ochreous, more or less 

 sufiused irregularly with dark fuscous-purplish except on patagia. 

 Abdomen fuscous, margins yellowish. Legs whitish-ochreous, 

 anterior and middle pair suffused with fuscous above. Forewings 

 moderate, costa moderately arched, apex obtuse, hindmargin 

 nearly straight, somewhat oblique, rounded beneath ; greyish- 

 yellowish or whitish-grey ; costal edge pale yellowish ; markings 

 dull fuscous-purplish ; a narrow obscure suffusion along inner 

 margin from middle to anal angle ; a dot on fold beneath middle, 

 and a larger one in disc at § ; a small cloudy spot beneath second 

 dot ; a waved line from near hindmargin above middle to anal 

 angle ; a cloudy line along hindmargin dilating gradually to apex : 

 cilia whitish, basal half rosy or purplish-tinged, towards anal angle 

 and at apex greyish. Hindwings ochreous-yellow, basal hairs 

 greyish ; cilia dark grey, tips paler. 



Closely allied to B. parcdyrgis (of which I have now a series), 

 but readily separated by the forewings being more or less greyish, 

 not clear yellow-ochreous, and by the absence of the broad purple 

 band which in H. 2Mrali/rgis extends along the hindmargin and 

 posterior part of inner margin so as^to absorb the other markings. 

 Whether the species will remain as readily separable when forms 

 from intermediate localities are known, is yet to be seen. 



Larva stout, broadly flattened, broadest in middle ; ochreous- 

 whitish, towards sides slightly tinged with purplish-rosy ; head
