ochreous. Abdomen yellowish-ochreous. Thorax dark purple- 
fuscous, suffused with whitish. Forewings elongate-lanceolate, 
shining dark bronzy-fuscous ; markings white ; a moderate fascia 
from one-fifth costa to one-fourth inner-margin, but not nearly 
reaching it, posterior edge with a small indentation above; a 
narrower fascia from middle of costa to middle of inner-margin, 
but not reaching it, narrowed on costa and towards inner-margin, 
and with an indentation on each side, giving the appearance 
roughly of a figure 8; a wedge-shaped spot on costa about three- 
fifths, and a smaller round one on anal angle ; cilia dark-fuscous, 
with a white, wedge-shaped spot at apex, and a small, whitish 
spot at anal angle. indwings light-fuscous, with a white, 
wedge-shaped spot at apex, and a small, whitish spot at anal 
angle. Hindwings light-fuscous ; cilia greyish-fuscous. 
Not very near any other. The whitish head is very con- 
spicuous ; the second fascia is, no doubt, formed by the confluence 
of the two median spots. In other specimens they may separate, 
for which allowance should be made. 
One specimen taken at “ Billopp,” Tasmania, by Mr. G. Barnard 
in December. 
MACROBATHRA DASYPLACA, 1. Sp. 
Male, 17 mm. Head fuscous, mixed with*whitish ; palpi 
yellow-ochreous, terminal joint externally infuscated. Antenne 
and abdomen fuscous, antenne finely annulated with yellowish. 
Legs fuscous, posterior pair yellowish-ochreous. Thorax yellowish- 
ochreous, with a large, fuscous anterior, quadrate spot. Fore- 
wings elongate-lanceolate, yellow; a moderate blackish basal 
fascia, posterior edge curved inwards; an irregular, blackish 
suffusion along inner margin, continued suffusedly to anal angle, 
anterior edge almost touching base of fascia ; from anterior por- 
tion of this fascia proceeds a fine line, which gradually expands 
along dorsal portion of wing until it forms an elongate diamond- 
shaped patch, posterior portion touching middle of hindmargin, 
and leaving costa clear throughout, except basal fascia; cilia 
yellowish, mixed with grey, beneath anal angle yellow. Hind- 
wings dark-fuscous; costal cilia yellow, remainder greyish- 
fuscous. 
Rather an abnormal-looking species as regards markings. Be- 
tween “euwryxantha,’ Meyr., and “ Chrysotoxa,” Meyr.
