 in three or four ditferent shades of colour in the B. M. 

 from the same locality.

 Epidesma unilinea, nov. 



$ . Pectinations of antenna} black, sliaft of antennae, hind part of 

 thorax, abdomen and ground colour of both wings pinkish-grey : 

 head, fore part of thorax and costal space of fore-wings brown, the 

 colour diffusing inwardly for a little ; a black point at end of each 

 cell, a red straight line from middle of alxlominal margin of hind- 

 wings to the apex of fore-wings, the inner part of the wing on fore- 

 wings being pale, on the hind- wings the whole inner space is white 

 irrorated with grey, on both wings the whole space outside the line 

 is dark reddish-grey, caused by the density of the red irrorations, 

 marginal points black: underside whitish irrorated with retl, a 

 black streak at apex of fore-wings, a dentated brown line running 

 on the outer side of the straight line on hind-wings and some sub- 

 marginal brown marks, pectus body and legs white. 

 Expanse of wing, \\ inches. 



Hah. Tasmania (./. J. Walker), two examples. 



These specimens are labelled Hong Kong, but this is 

 evidently an error. Mr. Walker brought most of bis speci- 

 mens from China, but some of them were from Tasmania 

 and the genus Epidcama is essentially Australian.
