J^olocosma cycloxantJm , n. sp

 less mixed with ochreous-whitish. Palpi dark fuscous, second 

 joint mixed with white. Antennae blackish, obscurely spot- 

 ted with white. Abdomen dark grey. Forewings elongate, 

 costa moderately arched, apex round-pointed, termen ex- 

 tremely obliquely rounded; whitish, closely irrorated with 

 dark fuscous, veins posteriorly lined with white ; two light 

 orange, dark-edged fascige enclosing a slender, direct, silvery- 

 white median fascia, first narrow, even, second narrow on dor- 

 sum, widened throughout to costa, enclosing silvery- white dis- 

 cal and costal spots ; a light orange line along lower part of 

 termen : cilia fuscous, on termen with a strong black basal 

 band, narrowed upwards, enclosing about five silvery-white 

 dots. Hindwings rather dark grey ; cilia grey. 



Albany, West Australia, from September to December ; 

 five specimens. Very similar to .4. iridozona, but the pos- 

 terior simple V-shaped fascia of that species is replaced by a 

 more complex marking. 



EupsELiA, Meyr. 

 This genus is distinguished from all others in this groujD 

 known to me by the unusually short and weak labial palpi ;

 the only known example.

 Male, female, 13-16 mm. Head ochreous-yeliow, cen-

 gin ochreous-white. Abdomen fuscous. Forewings elongate, 

 slightly dilated posteriorly, costa moderately arched, apex ob- 

 tuse, termen obliquely rounded ; dark fuscous ; an ochreous- 

 white patch occupying basal | except a costal streak : an 

 ochreous-white fascia beyond middle, on lower half narrowed 

 and bisected by a dark fuscous line or partially obscured with 

 purplish ; on each side of this fascia an obscure deep purple 

 line, becoming obsolete towards costa : terminal area divided 

 into two patches, very finely strigulated with whitish, anterior 

 longitudinally, posterior transversely : a small whitish costal 

 spot before apex, from which a dark fuscous line runs obliquely 

 to termen beneath apex : cilia dark fuscous, round apex with 

 a coppery-purple basal line, beneath apex with a coppery- 

 purple sometimes black-centred basal dot, on lower half of
