The type Avas described from Cape Jervis, S. Australia. 

 Erephopsis ccniigna, Wlk., is not identical as Walker stated. 

 Pangonia fuliyiiiense , Boisduval, is from New Guinea ; 

 whether it is the same as Erephopsis lasiophthalma is 

 doubtful. 



Three females from Mt. Kosciusko in N.E. Victoria, 

 and two females from INIoonhar, New South Wales {Mar- 

 grave) (1915), in Brit. Mus. Coll., belong, I believe, to this 

 species, answering to the description by Boisduval. Whether 

 the specimens Macquart placed under this species are 

 * identical is doubtful. 



The wings have one dark band crossing the base of the 

 discal cell and the apices of the basal cells, and the trans- 

 verse veins at fork of third vein and apex of discal cell are 

 shaded ; there is the rudiment of an appendix present; the 

 first posterior cell is narrowed at border, but open. Abdo- 

 men reddish Avith a black median spot on the first three 

 segments, then usually darker at the apex. Antennce reddish 

 yellow. Palpi same colour, very short; the second joint not 

 ujuch longer than the first joint, very concave. Forehead 

 twice as broad anteriorly as it is at the vertex, with dark 

 furrows above, continued to the antennse. Walker's species 

 has two very distinct dark bands on the wings. E. maculi- 

 pennis differs in the wings, which are only shaded, and the 

 first joint of palpi is dark.
