curved series of elongate spots from costa at foiu'-fifths to anal' 

 angle, strongly indented beneath costa ; cilia ochreous-whitish, 

 more of less barred with ochreous-fuscous. Hindwings grey, 

 cilia greyish- white. 



Melbourne, Victoria ; one specimen in December. 



Nephogenes centrotherma, n. sp. 



Male. 18 mm. Head and palpi light fleshy-red, palpi darker' 

 beneath. Antennae and thorax dark fuscous, thorax with a 

 moderate fleshy-red posterior spot. Abdomen and legs greyiah- 

 ochreous, anterior and middle pair fuscous beneath. Fore^ 

 wings elongate, moderate, costa hardly arched, termen obli- 

 quely rounded ; dark fuscous ; markings fleshy-red ; a mode- 

 rate spot at base of costa; a short elongate streak along inner 

 margin at base; a moderate spot at one-third from base in, 

 middle, a second, similar before two-thirds, in middle, both 

 edged ^^dth a few prominent black scales ; an interrupted nar- 

 row streak along fold anteriorl}^ somewhat obscured ; cilia 

 greyish, mixed with blackish and fuscous scales, especially to- 

 wards base. Hindwings fuscous ; cilia as in fore wings. 



Somewhat allied to pyrocentra. Lower, but differs from its 

 smaller size, different colored head, palpi and forewings. 

 pyrocentra varies considerably ; the type specimen represented 

 an extreme foim, as most of the specimens have fleshy-red fore 

 wings, not dark fuscous, and very few markings. The des- 

 cription of that species, therefore, requires broadening. 



Nephogeny Perigypsa, n. sp. 



Male, 20 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax snow-white. An- 

 tennae and legs fuscous, base of anteimse whitish, posterior legs 

 greyish-ochreous. Forewings elongate, moderate, costa faintly 

 arched, termen very obliquely rounded ; white ; costa narrowly 

 fuscous from base to one-thii'd ; a moderate, suffused light 

 fuscous streak from middle of base to costa at two-thirds, 

 ground color above snow-white ; a similar streak along fold' 

 from base to two-third, somewhat spot-like at posterior extre- 

 mity and confluent with first streak on base third; a well de- 

 fined oblique ochreous-fuscous streak before termen, from be- 

 r.eatli apex to before anal angle ; cilia white, mixed with fus- 

 cous scales in middle. Hindwings and cilia very pale 

 ochreous. 



Closely allied to olympias, Lower, but sepai'able by the dif- 

 ferent ground color of forewings and white head ; it approaches 

 fnelanthes. Lower, also, but in addition to the characters given 

 above it may be distinguished from that species by the very 

 pale hindwings and markings of forewings. 



Broken Hill, New South Wales; two specimens in October.
