lor at least premature), and arose from the confusion of 

 species. 



Aglossa, Latr. 



Aglossa pinguinalis, L. 



An undoubted female of this species, alleged to have 

 been taken near Melbourne, Victoria (coll. Lucas), but I 

 think the locality requires confirmation ; if it occurs at 

 all, it will probably be found common : of course an 

 introduced species. 



Aglossa cuprealis, Hb. 

 Also from Newcastle, New South Wales ; in December. 



Asopia, Tr. 



Asopia ducalis, Walk. 



Pyralis ducalis, Walk., SuppL, 1242 ; P. regalis, ib., 

 1241. 



$ , 19 mm. Head and palpi ochreous-yellow ; palpi slender, 

 ascending, terminal joint half second. Antennae purplish, beneath 

 yellowish. Thorax purple, anterior margin ochreous-yellow. 

 Abdomen purple, apex yellowish. Legs ochreous-yellowish (ante- 

 rior pair broken). Fore wings elongate-triangular, costa almost 

 straight, apex obtuse, hind margin obliquely rounded ; veins 8 and 

 9 out of 7 ; purple, sprinkled with dark grey ; a moderate ochreous- 

 yellow triangular spot on costa about one-fourth, and a second 

 about two-thirds ; lines hardly darker than ground colour, very 

 indistinct, proceeding from costal spots, tolerably straight, first to 

 inner margin at one-fourth, second at three-fourths ; a narrow 

 ochreous-yellow hind-marginal fascia, indented by ground colour 

 below middle ; cilia ochreous-yellow. Hind wings with colour, 

 hind-marginal fascia, and cilia as in fore wings, but hind-marginal 

 fascia more attenuated irregularly towards middle and abruptly 

 dilated near anal angle. 



Queensland; one specimen (coll. Lucas) ; two others 

 in British Museum collection. Walker's first name, 

 regalis, must of course be dropped, as he overlooked the 

 European Asopia regalis, Schiff. Walker quotes this and 

 various other species received from Mr. Diggles as from 

 Swan River (West Australia) ; this is almost certainly 

 due to some misunderstanding : all of those with which
