Publ. 9. III. 1939. ■ EUPHYIA. By L. B. Pkoit. 285 



I have observed. ab. jervidata is siiiall aiul pale, «itli «JiitLsh boiuularies to tlip median area of the forewing. 

 All the three types came fVoni Tasmania, but as conriafa sometimes ooeurs ^ith it there, and ebuleata has bcen 

 found in Victoria, it cannot be regarded as iiierely a geographica! luddificat ioii. 



E. polyxantha Mei/r. (2s c) is distinguished by the very narrow median liand. with a series of dots at poly.ranlha. 

 a distance f'rom it on either side (considered by Meyrick to be the tnie boiuidaries of the median area) and 

 by the conspicuously daikened fringe of the forewing. Hiudw ing very weakly marked. a strong contrast to 

 that of its other narrowly dark-banded relative. pcrornaUt (2>sd). Forewing i)eneatli with a large dark a[)ical 

 cloud, continued posteriorly as a weaker and narrower sliade: hindwing with an irregulär broad subterminal 

 band. Monnt Kosciusko (type). Khor and Mount Macedon. 



E. leucozona Meyr. (2<S c). Recognizable at a glance by the i)urc white stripe in tiie centre of the median Icucozomi. 

 area (sometimes interruptcd). Mount Kosciusko (4500 feet) to 'J'asmania. iocaily common. 



E. cydalima Tum. 2 ^f 4:. 26-28 mm, from Victoria (Beaconsfield and Lome). Central stripe of forewing (i/dalima. 

 white, but not show-white, at costal end broader and containing a cell-dot. the subordiiiate markings Icss faint. 

 ante- and postmedian lines fuscous, slender, the former at I3, nearly straight, tlic latter from % costa to -;; hind- 

 margin, wdth slight subcostal and central projections. edged distally with white, slender whitish subterminal 

 present. Hindwing with mueh more marking than in leucozona. at least posteriorly. Underside with dark sub- 

 terminal bands incomplete at tornus. 



E. mecynata Guen. (2sd). Duller than any of the foregoing ochreous-winged species; esiiecially so the mecyiiaUi. 

 o , which has nearly the entire upperside dark-suffused. Hindwing above and both wings beneath with darkcned 

 borders. that of the underside in large part dull reddish. Tasmania (loc. typ.) and to Queensland (Toowoomba). 



E. perornata W<ük. (2.s d). Forewing more marked with led. its costal margin and a part of the lines iieromata. 

 brightly rosy; the dark maculation. both above and beneath. also characteristic. Tasmania (type) and a few 

 moiuitain localities in Victoria and New South ^^'ales. 



E. chrysocyma Meyr. (28 d). t'onsiderably smaller. Palinis 2'^, with rather long, lax hair, showing (as chrysocyma. 

 also several of the succeeding mountain species) some approach to those of Dasyuris. to which, indeed, Turner 

 (1920) has transferred one of theni. poJycarpa. Ciliation of ,^ -/g. Forewing blackish. with orange lines, tlie 

 ante- and postmedian broad, the median slender or macular, the subterminal macular, Hindwing deep orange, 

 with dark lines and border, the latter containing the irregulai- orange subterminal. Mount Kosciusko, at high 

 altitudes. Also on Cradle Mountain. Tasmania. at 3000 feet. 



E. stereozona Meyr. (28 d). Both surfaces almost alike. except that the hindwing beneath has an ad- Mereozotia. 

 ditional orange patch at the apex. Described from Mount Kosciusko, subsequently recorded from Mount Erica, 

 Victoria. 



E. oxygona Meyr. (2s d). ('onsideral)Iy larger. palpus shorter. the ycdlow parts somewhat lighter, on oxygotia. 

 the forewing reduced. the subbasal line Ijeing absent. Mount Kosciusko. 



E, polycarpa Meyr. (28 d). would probaljly be better placed in Dasyuris (cf. E. chrysocyma); face and polycarpa. 

 palpus perhaps even rougher than in D. hedyh pta. Rather variable, markings of forewing w h i t i s h yellow. 

 more or less waved or crenulate, beneatli with the dark parts greatly reduced; subterminal line sometimes 

 complete. sometimes rudimentary, Mount Kosciusko (type) and Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. 



E. heterotropa Turn. (28 d). 1 have only a daniaged, but well recognizable o "f tliis very Ahtmct helerotmpa. 

 species, here tigured, The bidentate antemedian and bisinuate postmedian distinguish it at once from polycarpa. 

 Forewing beneath, as in that, iM-edominantly whitish-yellow. Cradle Mountain. 2000 — 2500 feet. 2 of the 

 fi Originals have the areole asymnietrical. on one wing undivided. 



E. orthropis Meyr. (28 e). U])])erside in both sexes at hrst sight similar to that of mecynata J, forewing orthropis. 

 somewhat broader. with the (feeble) markings whitish; hindwing with the anterior part .suffused with whitish. 

 Underside with the yellowish parts mueh paler than in mecynata. the l)orders darkcr, that of the forewing quite 

 different in shape, broader at costa, narrowing rajiidly. quitc narrow in posterior part. Ciliation of ,^ antenna 

 extremely short. .Mount Kosciusko. - tasmanica l'uni. Forewing ■fuscous, with scarcely any brownish tinge". tMynanica. 

 postmedian line with usually a very slight bidentate median ])rojection, terminal half of fringe not. or only 

 very slightlv. barred with whitish. Mount Wellington and Cradle Mountain. Tasmania. 



E. trissophrica Tum., founded on a S f'«»' Mount Wellington, exi)anding 3() mm. is said to resemble lris.sopl,ric<i. 

 orthropis in having the costal part of the hindwing whitened. but. in addition to its mueh larger size. has the 

 hindwing crenulate, the forewing whitish. with nuiuerous fine wavy dark lines. a whitish median' band con-
