origin of second line from costa nearer apex, paler cilia, 

 and other minor points. 



Eurycreon hemicirca, n. s. 

 J, 19 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax dark fuscous, irrorated 

 with whitish-ochreous ; frontal projection small, rounded. Antennae 

 pale greyish-ochreous spotted with fuscous, ciliations two-thirds. 

 Abdomen pale greyish-ochreous, irregularly irrorated with dark 

 fuscous. Anterior legs fuscous, tibiae and tarsi ringed with 

 ochreous-whitish ; middle and posterior femora fuscous-whitish

 whitish. Fore wings elongate-triangular, costa posteriorly gently 

 arched, apex obtuse, hind margin very obliquely rounded ; pale 

 whitish-fuscous, irregularly suffused with pale fuscous and irrorated 

 with dark fuscous ; lines rather irregular, strong, dark fuscous ; 

 first from one-fourth of costa to one-third of inner margin ; second 

 from four-fifths of costa, tolerably parallel to hind margin, some- 

 what sinuate above middle, at two-thirds obtusely bent inwards to 

 beneath discal spot, and again rectangularly bent to two-thirds of 

 inner margin ; a small round spot strongly outlined with dark fuscous 

 beneath costa beyond first line, and a transverse-oblong discal spot 

 strongly outlined with dark fuscous beyond middle; three semi- 

 circular rings outlined strongly with dark fuscous on costa, first 

 above discal spot, third immediately preceding and confluent with 

 second line ; a hind-marginal series of cloudy dark fuscous lunules ; 

 cilia pale whitish-ochreous, obscurely barred with grey, and with a 

 cloudy dark grey line. Hind wings with colour, second line and 

 following shade, hind-marginal lunules, and cilia as in fore wings ; 

 a dark fuscous oblique transverse-linear discal spot before middle. 



Launceston, Tasmania ; one specimen, in January. 

 Very similar to E. strangalota, but with second line of 

 fore wings rising from still nearer apex, and distinguished 

 from all species of the genus by the semicircular dark 

 rings on costa. 



Eurycreon, capnochroa, Meyr. 

 Also from Glen Innes and Mount Kosciusko (3000 feet), 

 New South Wales ; Hobart, Tasmania.
