white scale^, slightly tinted in ? with ferrous. Forewings, 

 costa almost straight, excepting base and apex, hind margin 

 sinuous, white, profusely shaded with grey scales and black 

 markings. Costa pencilled with regular short lines, becoming 

 small triangles towards apex; a diffused blotch, one-fifth to two- 

 fifth costa, gives rise to several angulated lines Avhich form 

 different facioe through centre of wing, and which go to join 

 concatenation of lines and loops extending along the whole inner 

 and hind borders ; a smudged fuscous-stained blotch of black 

 lines at two- thirds costa ; sub-marginal series of black columnar 

 linear barred bands from apex along hind margin to one-half 

 inner margin, where they diffuse into network on inner 

 margin ; a marginal line of small black squares on veins are 

 connected with each other and with marginal fascia by inter- 

 lacing lines. Cilia white, with bands and lines of grey and 

 black. Hind wings grey, deeply irrorated with smoky black, 

 becoming white towards hind margin, where it is fasciculated 

 with network black lines to border ; small squares of black on 

 veins along whole hind margin ; cilia white, barred with brown 

 and grey. Brisbane. 



Walker has described some of the Zeuzera, but appears to 

 have grouped several species into one. His descriptions are most 

 vague. I have endeavoured to divide the species by well marked 

 permanent characters. E. cretosa is distinguished by its large size, 

 its chalk-dust appearance, by the lacing network round the wing 

 borders, by the two suffused netlace fasciae, one through wing at 

 one-third, and the other broadly from centre of inner margin 

 and parallel with hind margin to apex.

i llpH^ 52 — 62. Head white, densely, irrorated with black 

 and grey ; face white. Thorax grey, irrorated with fuscous white 

 and black, an elliptic black line on dorsum. Abdomen whitish 

 grey densely irrorated with black. . Forewings, costa nearly 

 straight, hind margins obliquely straight, grey irrorated with 

 white and black, costal border with regular short fine black 

 lines, a deep black band from costa near base along cell to 

 opposite three-fifths costa, thence difiused and dots to apex of 

 hind margin ; the costal area marked off bv this line is richlv
