costa and above inner margin, preceded on upper two-thirds by a 

 white suffusion extending to reniform ; a small ochreous-yellow 

 spot on inner margin immediately beyond second line ; subterminal 

 whitish, cloudy, partially obsolete, mdented so as nearly to touch 

 second line in middle; a hind marginal row of small cloudy 

 blackish partially confluent spots ; cilia whitish, with a black line, 

 tips spotted with grey. Hind wings 1^ ; very pale whitish grey- 

 yellowish ; an indistinct post-median line and hind marginal border 

 obscurely greyer ; cilia whitish yellowish, with a grey line. 



Nearest to S. emneles, Meyr. ; the only allied species 

 with distinctly yellowish cilia of the hind wings are 

 aS'. eumelcs and S. exJnhitalis, of which the former is 

 very distinct by the ochreous suffusion of the fore wings, 

 and the latter b}' the clear white ground colour and 

 black markings. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; three specimens on tree- 

 trunks in October and November. 



Erotomanes, Meyr. 

 Forehead with a short conical projection. Ocelli present, 

 Tongue well-developed. Antennae somewhat over half fore wings, 

 in male slender, filiform, with short scanty cilia at joints only. 

 Labial palpi long, straight, porrected, with long rough 2:)rojecting 

 scales above and beneath, attenuated to apex, terminal joint con- 

 cealed. Maxillary palpi moderate, triangularly dilated with loose 

 scales. Abdomen in male with valves large, densely scaled, con- 

 niveut ; claspers also large, membranous, scaled, conically folded, 

 appressed together inside valves ; uncus moderate, curved. Pos- 

 terior tibifE with outer spurs two-thirds of inner. Fore wings with 

 veins 8 and 9 stalked, 10 tolerably remote from 9, 11 moderate. 

 Hind wings 1;^, lower median not pectmated, 1 a and 1 c loosely 

 pectinated, disc without hairs ; 3, 4, 5 closely approximated at 

 base, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 to one-third. 



According to the above characters, which have not 

 been before completely given, this peculiar genus must 

 be placed in the Scopariadce.
