<? ?. 24-28 mm. Head ochreous-whitish. Palpi dark fuscous, 

 internally mixed with whitish. Antennae dark fuscous. Thorax 

 fuscous-grey. Abdomen grey, anal tuft sometimes paler and 

 ochreous-tinged. Legs dark fuscous, posterior tibiae grey. Fore- 

 wings elongate, moderate, costa moderately arched, apex round- 

 pointed, hindmargin very oblique, almost straight ; light fuscous- 

 grey ; extreme costal edge whitish from near base to | ; a broad 

 cloudy dark grey costal streak from base to before f , posteriorly 

 attenuated, bordered beneath by a broad very ill-defined whitish 

 suffusion ; a similar whitish suffusion towards hindmargin, and on 

 a spot before anal angle ; a very indistinct darker grey dot in disc 

 beyond middle : cilia whitish mixed with grey. Hindwings dark 

 fuscous, disc generally more or less suffused with ochreous-yellow, 

 sometimes wholly yellow with apex, costa, and inner margin dark 

 fuscous ; cilia grey, with a dark fuscous basal line. 



This and the following species agree in possessing yellow hind- 

 wings ; in this species, however, the yellow suffusion is occasionally 

 obsolete. 



Melbourne and Mount Macedon, Victoria ; locally common, in 

 October and November.

Media, alis ant. fuscis ; post, ochreo-flavis, ciliis griseis. 



Head and thorax fuscous. Forewings elongate, moderate ; 

 fuscous, without markings. Hindwings yellow ; hindmargin and 

 cilia fuscous-grey. 



I have seen no specimen of this species, but it is undoubtedly a 

 Philobota, and appears to be quite distinct, with the forewings 

 much as in P. monolitha. but with yellow hindwings. 



Said to be from the Mount Alexander range, Victoria.

 Media, alis ant. fuscis ; post, saturatius fuscis. 



$ . 23 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, abdomen, and legs 

 rather dark fuscous; posterior tibiae grey. Forewings elongate,
