termen with three small round black spots edged anteriorly 

 v.ith whitish and posteriorly with deep purple, separated hy 

 black interspaces. Hindwings ochreous-yellow : an irregular 

 dorsal fascia of dark fuscous suffusion : a variable dark fuscous 

 terminal fascia, sometimes broad at apex, sometimes very nar- 

 row, not reaching tornus : cilia fuscous, with dark fuscous 

 bcisal line. 



Quorn, South Australia : York, West Australia : in Octo- 

 ber and November ; ten specimens. E. philoniorpha, Low., 

 must be near this, but T think distinct if the description is 

 accurate: I have not seen a specimen. 



E'wpselia trithrona, n. sp. 



Female, 15 mm. Head pale ochreous-yellowish. Palpi 

 whitish-yellowish, towards base sjDrinkled with fuscous. An- 

 tennae dark fuscous. Thorax dark jDurplish-fuscous, with an- 

 terior and posterior ochreous-whitish spots. Abdomen fus- 

 cous, mixed with whitish-ochreous. Forewings rather broad, 

 costa rather strongly and unevenly arched, ajDex obtuse, ter- 

 men nearly straight, rather strongly oblique : dark purple- 

 bronzy-fuscous ; a broad ochreous-white fascia from dorsum 

 about J, rather narrowed upwards and not reaching costa: a 

 moderate ochreous-white fascia beyond middle, narrowed and 

 rather broadly interrupted in disc: cilia ochreous-whitish, 

 mixed with dark fuscous, with dark fuscous subbasal line (im- 

 perfect). Hindwings light ochreous-yellow : large apical and 

 small tornal patches of dark fuscous suffusion : cilia fuscous. 



Sydney, iNew South Wales, in November: one specimen. 

 In the species of this genus with yellow hindwings the extent 

 of the dark fuscous margin is found to be extremely variable 

 (apparently without reference to sex or locality) wherever 

 sufficient material has been obtained, and it will therefore be 

 reasonable to anticipate similar variability in such species as 

 the present. 



Evp^'dia hijpsicliora, u. sp. 



]\[ale, female, 12-13 mm. Head and antennae dark fus- 

 cous. Palpi ochreous-whitish, mixed with blackish -fuscous. 

 Thorax dark fuscous, with large ochreous-yellow patchcvS on 

 shoulders. Abdomen dark fuscous at base or sometimes more 

 or less wholly suffused with ochreous-yellow. Forewings 

 rather broad, costa rather strongly and unevenly arched, apex 

 obtuse, termen obliquely rounded : dark fuscous, slie:htlv 

 purplish-tinged : a broad ochreous-yellow fascia from middle 

 of costa, where it includes a dark fuscous dot, to dorsum, 

 where it extends from I .to near tornus, narrowed upwards, 

 edges slightly curved inwards : cilia dark fuscous. Hind- 

 wings dark fuscous, basal half sometimes more or less wholly
