 5 ex. Hitberto confused under nevtarea, to wbich it is extremely 

 similar, yet at once distinguiNlied by tbe dark thorax ; moreover in 

 nectarea the bindwiugs aro mucb broader, elongate-ovate, apex 

 obtuse, hairs of crown ochreous-wbitisb, S valvie much larger, 

 with ocbreous-whitish anal tuft. The Sydney and Melbourne 

 localities must be deleted from my account of nectarea, and tbe 

 specimens bred from pupal cases on stems of Acacia, as there 

 recorded, weie tbe present species and not nectarea; they were 

 found near Melbourne. Tlie true nectarea is however widely and 

 })robably generally distributed tlnougb tbe southern half of 

 A ustralia.
