tarsi somewhat suffused with whitish. Forewings elongate, 

 rather narrow, costa gently arched, in ? more strongly, 

 apex pointed, hind margin extremely oblique, slightly rounded : 

 snow-white, shining ; extreme costal edge very narrowly dark 

 fuscous, sometimes towards base only ; cilia ochreous-white. 

 Hindwings very pale whitish-fuscous, towards apex rather darker ; 

 cilia ochreous-whitish. 



Very distinct from any other species of the genus, but appar- 

 ently most allied to the group of Eul. scopariella according to the 

 long palpi, and the form of the wings. 



Port Lincoln, South Australia, in November ; tolerably common 

 locally on sandhills.

$ ?. 21-22 mm. Head, thorax, abdomen, and legs fuscous- 

 grey. Palpi long, dark fuscous, second joint with basal half and 

 extreme apex whitish. Antennas dark fuscous. Forewings 

 elongate, costa moderately arched, apex round-pointed, hind 

 margin extremely obliquely rounded ; light fuscous-grey, finely 

 sprinkled with darker; extreme costal edge narrowly ochreous- 

 whitish except at extremities ; a dark fuscous dot in disc before 

 middle, a second beyond middle, and a third on fold rather beyond 

 first ; a row of dark fuscous dots from costa about f to close before 

 apex, thence sharply bent and continued very near hind margin to 

 anal angle ; two or three dark fuscous marginal dots round apex ; 

 cilia light fuscous-grey. Hindwings fuscous-grey ; cilia grey, with 

 a faint darker line. 



Closely allied to Eul. siccella, but with the ground colour darker, 

 without coarse blackish irroration, the costal edge sharply whitish, 

 and the hindwings darker ; it also resembles somewhat Eul. 

 paurogramma, but is immediately separated by the grey head. 



Deloraine and Evandale, Tasmania, in November ; four speci- 

 mens.
