EUPHYIA. By L. B. Pküvt. 289 



E. psarodes Tiirn. 27 mm. Palpus 2i ,. Aiitemia of ,5 clentate, tlic teetli 1. c-iliatioiis 1. Forewing with psarodes. 

 Costa nearly stiaiglit, termen luunded. oV)lique: \\liite mixod with jjale grevish ; markiiigs apparently imich as 

 in rhynchofa. but with the antemedian nearly straight. iolldwed (distaliy) hy chirU fiLscous spots at posta and 

 lündmargin and befoie middle of diso, the hindwing aljove grey instead of ■whilish-ochrous'" and apparently 

 not darkened t'lose to the termen. Beneath. the liinchving is mixed with whitish. 011 the vcin.s whitish-oelireous. 

 with a daik eeii-dot. fine dentate ])o.stmedian line and a series of .sul)margiiial spots. Oidy kiiowii l'rom Tasmania. 



H. actinipha Lou-er, from Bioken Hill. South Australia. is unkiiuun to me. Imt is readily distinguishable actinipha. 

 froni ijsarode..^. aeeording to Turner, by the strongly coneave proximal mai'giii ofthe median band: this band 

 is broad. piedominantly fuscoiis, traversed l)y white lines. with an acute distal projection as in the neighbotning 

 species. Hindwing pale grey. with a whitish subtermiiiai line. Expanse 24 2() nun. I.owkr considers it nearest 

 to cryeropa. 2 $$.

 ciliation. Hindwing nearly (Mho}itha-i^hii\)e(\. very i'eebly marked. Forewing %\itli an acute central ])rojection 

 of the median liand. somewhat as in the small and ditferently coloured iiilcrriiptata and cpirtela: for the dilTer- 

 entiation oi' j}.s((rodes. see above. Moiuit Koseiusko (loc. typ.) and Cast leniaine, Victoi'ia. 



E. interruptata Gurn. (^ oxyclasta Mvyr.. M. S.. fuscescens Warr.. M. S.) {2s i). Sharply marked. interruptaia. 

 somewhat rccalling the design of an Kcli piopera. the lines which bound the areas ofthe l'orewing. as well as an 

 oblique stripe from the apex. broadiy white, the lines angular. the angle of the antemedian usually (but not 

 invariably) so prolonged as to bi.scct the l)lack lirow n median Ijand. The Originals ("Australia") belong to tiie 

 form which I have seen only from Tasmania. oclireipicta Th.-Mieg. "Diß'crs from the tyi)e in that the blaek- ochreipicta. 

 brown markings or areas of the forewing are clear lirown. sometimes approaching yellow ochre and. moreovcr, 

 the edgings or white bands round the 2 median s])ots are niuch narrower. Ijeing encroached upon by the pale 

 yellow ochre. The marking.s oi' the hindwing are a little paler than in the type." Victoria: Melbourne and 

 Gisborne. So far as my limited exjierience goes. this would seem to be the normal form (sid)species) in Victoria 

 and New South A\'ales. 



E. epicteta Tum. (28 i). Very similar to inferriiptata and showing the same kind of Variation in the epidela. 

 median area ol' the forewing. According to the measurements given the ))alpus may be a little longer and the 

 antennal ciliation a little shorter, but the strtictural differences are at best so sliglit as to be difficult of veri- 

 fication. Easy to distinguish. however by the subbasal line, which is much more direct and entirely lacks the 

 acute angle on the 2nd submedian; the underside is less sharply marked than in (»(/errM/rfato, with the poatmedian 

 line of the hinchving markedly less sinuous. Described from Gisborne and Lome (Victoria), now known also 

 from Mount Koseiusko, National Park and ('radle Mountain (Tasmania) and perhaps other localities. ab. 

 costimaculata nov. is a very extreme form, parallel to those which have occasionally been found in various Palae- costhnacu- 

 arctic Larentiinae, with the median band narrowed and confined to the anterior half of the wing (or less). the " "" 



rest. excepting the basal patch and subterminal shades, whitish, alniost devoid of markings. National Park, 

 type a ,^ in my collection. 



E. phaedra Meyr. (2S i). Paljms in j 2. in $ 'IM,. Antennal ciliation niinute. "A distinct and very elegant phaedra. 

 species" (Meyrick). very varial)le. differentiated from the other yellow -hindwinged l'Jiipliyia l)y the extended 

 brownish proximal area ofthe forewing (reaching to the dark antemedian band), the pale central part oi tlie 

 median area, rather strong bilobed prominence of the postmedian, etc. Hindwing with some dark marking 

 at the tornus: beneath with interrupted dark l)order. New South Wales (type) and (,)ueensland. 



E. officiosa Äleyr. (2>S i), from the Kermadac Islands, is only known in one specimen. a V. Pal])us officiosa. 

 moderate. Forewing with termen nearly straight. the pattern of dark lines also mostl\- straightish, the sul)l)asal 

 angied near costa. the postmedian with a shallow . tilackish-marked sinus. Mkvhick suggested a probable re- 

 lationship to delloidata. but I rather suspect it may lie a Xantharhoe. perhajjs ofthe siihldnria group. though 

 W'ith weakly marked distal area. 



E. haemophaea Meyr. (2Si). o. '^-^ »u"- "V<'i.v 'üstinct; nearest h< mizona" . Forewing more suffused Äac'nopAaea.

 Whangamarino. Chatham Islands, only the type known. 



E.hemizona Meyr. (2s i). Antennal ciliation ofo slight. Wings glos.-^y : forewing with cell-spot moderate, hemizoiui. 

 median band rather broad, best defined distaliy and espeeially in the anterior hall', whcre it is suceeeded by a 

 white and an ochreous-tinged line. the almost rectangular projection behind the :{rd radial somewhat blackened; 

 hindwing paler, greyer, very fcebly marked. Both wings beneath somewiiat dark shaded proximally to the
