 streak along fold, becoming somewhat blotch-like at posterior 

 extremity and continued to anal angle, where it is constricted ; 

 a suffused whitish spot at apex ; cilia ochreous fuscous. Hind- 

 wings light ochreousi-fuscous, somewhat shining; cilia grey,

Melbourne, Victoria ; one specimen in March. 



Hypertricha ephelota, Meyr. 

 I have received females of this species, which measure 40 

 mm. in expanse. It differs very little from- the male as re- 

 gards markings and color, excepting that the whitish streak of 

 forewings is less defined ; in fact, all the markings of the fore- 

 wings are suffused through the blackish coloring. The hind- 

 wings beneath are without any costal hairs (in the male they 

 are well developed), and veins 3 and 4 of the hindwings are 

 connate or nearly separate at origin in two specimens; and 

 in one specimen actually stalked, so that in determining the 

 igenus this peculiar irregularity should not be^ lost sight of. 

 The terminal joint of the palpi is similar to male — ^that is, 

 one-fourth of second joint.
