Mount Lofty, South Australia ; two specimens taken 

 by Mr. E. Guest. 



PHYCITIDjE. 



Ceroprepes, Z. 



The essential characters of the neuration (previously 

 not quite correctly stated by me) are : Fore wings with 

 veins 4 and 5 separate, 10 rising out of stalk of 8 and 9. 

 Hind wings with veins 4 and 5 stalked from a point 

 with 3. Although in the case of the following species 

 the male is unknown, I have little doubt of its correct 

 location.
