suffused with ochreous-yellow ; cilia fuscous, with dark fus- 

 cous basal line. 



York, West Australia, m November ; nine specimens, 

 flying high around Encalyj)fus in the afternoon sunshine. A 

 specimen from Victoria, similar but larger (15 mm.), has 

 basal area of forewings suffusedly mixed with yellow-whitish, 

 and a whitish costal mark before apex ; I am uncertain whe* 

 ther it is a distinct species or only a geographical form, but 

 probably it will prove to be the latter. 



Eiipselia carporcrpsella^ Walk. 



Dr. A. J. Turner has satisfactorily ascertained that hea- 

 tella, Walk., is only a synonym of this, the species being vari- 

 able. 



Eiipselia ]}olo:rantha, Low. 



I have this species, which is a good and distinct one, from 

 Mount Lofty, South Australia (Guest), and also from Vic- 

 toria (Raynor). 



EuTORNA, Meyr. 



Head with appressed scales, sidetufts projecting over fore- 

 head ; tongue developed. Antennae |^, in male serrate, mi- 

 nutely ciliated (J-A), basal joint moderately long, without 

 pecten. Labial palpi long, curved, ascending, second joint 

 thickened with dense ap23ressed scales, sometimes roughly ex- 

 panded towards apex above or with spreading apical tuft be- 

 neath, terminal joint as long as second or shorter, slender, 

 acute. Forewings with lb simple at base (upper fork obso- 

 lete), 2 from near angle, 6 to apex, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to 

 costa, 11 from before middle. Hindwings 1 or almost 1, elon- 

 gate-ovate or broadly-lanceolate, cilia lJf-2 : 3 and 4 connate or 

 approximated, 5 bent, 6 and 7 parallel, 6 to apex. 



The variation in the scaling of the palpi of this genus is 

 singular ; I have no doubt that the various forms are all rightly 

 included in the genus, which is well characterised by other 

 structure, and has a peculiar and easily recognised facies; the 

 species are, in fact, often so similar that the structure of the 

 palpi affords the readiest specific distinction. There are two 

 New Zealand species (on which the genus was founded) very 

 similar and closely allied to the Australian, but not identical; 

 and I now add ten Australian species : — 



1. Second joint of palpi tnfted beneath 2. 

 Second joint of palpi not tnfted be- 

 neath 3. 



2. Forewings Avith median white streak 



continned to apex U'ptnrirapha. 



ForeAvings with median white streak
