and black points. Hind wings thinly scaled, ochreous-grey-whitish, 

 apex and upper part of hind margin narrowly greyish ; cilia 

 ochreous- whitish. 



Carnarvon, West Australia ; six specimens in October, 

 principally on Eucalyptus blossom after dark. Imme- 

 diately recognisable by the extremely narrow fore wings ; 

 nearest allied to E. gypsopa. 



Epicrocis mesembrina, n. s. 

 $, 21 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, and legs dark grey 

 sprinkled with whitish. Abdomen dark grey, margins of segments 

 broadly whitish-yellow. Fore wings elongate, narrow at base, 

 moderately dilated, costa slightly arched, apex obtuse, hind margin 

 rather oblique, rounded beneath ; dark grey, closely irrorated with 

 white ; inner margin irregularly blackish towards base, forming a 

 small spot before first line ; first line from one-third of costa to 

 two-fifths of inner margin, irregular, white, on upper half obsolete, 

 posteriorly sharply black-margined throughout, the margin forming 

 a small spot on costa ; a dark fuscous erect cloudy spot from inner 

 margin beyond middle, reaching half across wing; a blackish 

 transverse-linear discal dot ; second line indicated by dark fuscous 

 margins, from four-fifths of costa to four-fifths of inner margin, 

 rather irregular, indented inwards beneath costa, posterior margin 

 suffusedly dilated towards apex ; a dark fuscous hind-marginal 

 line ; cilia dark grey, with rows of whitish points. Hind wings 

 ochreous-yellow ; a narrow dark fuscous hind-marginal border, 

 uniting at apex with a somewhat broader costal border ; cilia grey,

Albany, West Australia ; one specimen (Australian 

 Museum). 



Epicrocis festivella, Z. 



Epicrocis fcstirclla, Z., Is., 1848, 878; ib., Caff., 77 ; 

 Pi/ralis ratoalis, Walk., 916 ; Scopula albiqeralis, 

 ib'., Suppl., 1468. 



Queensland ; one specimen (coll. Lucas). Also from 

 Java, Ceylon, and South Africa. 



Epicrocis euraphella, Meyr. 



Although the male is still unknown, I conjecture that 

 the species should be placed in this genus rather than 

 in Hypophana, because of its evident relationship to 

 E. macrota.
