Wings, above dull rose-colour, with the basal and 

 external fourths cream-coloured, bounded by the ordinary 

 lines, which are greyish brown, dotted upon the veins 

 with black ; the costal border, excepting at base and 

 apex, an angulated continuous stripe just beyond the 

 cell and parallel to the outer line, and a macular inter- 

 rupted submarginal stripe, greyish brown ; a white spot 

 at the end of each discoidal cell ; a marginal series of 

 short, slender, black lines : body cream-coloured ; under

43. Ephyra notigera, n. s. 



Whity-brown, with chocolate-brown lines and stripes 

 formed exactly as in the preceding species, excepting 

 that the outer line of the secondaries is a little more

 but the stripes greyer than above ; primaries with flesh- 

 coloured costal border ; basal half of wing grey ; body 

 below shining grey, with pale pink shining legs. Expanse 

 of wings, 21 — 22 mm. 



"Valparaiso, in December." — T. E.

44. Ephyra nmhrata,, n. s. 



Allied to E. orhk-ulata ; flesh-coloured, densely mottled
