Another species with the fades of a Euchcetis, which is 

 probably its trtie generic location, as in markings it reminds 

 one of E. iohola, Meyr. 



Kewell, Victoria; one specimen in April. 



Type in Coll., Kershaw. 



HOPLITICA RHODOPEPLA, n. sp. 



Male, 25 mm. Head, thorax, and palpi ligjht fleshy-red,, 

 palpi internally and at base white. Antennae ochreous, at 

 base fleshy-red. Abdomen dull ochreous, segmental margins 

 whitish. Leg)s ochreous, anterior pair light fleshy-red, coxse 

 white. Forewings elongate, moderate, costa moderately 

 arched termen slightly oblique, 7 to apex ; light fleshy-red ; 

 a small fuscous dot in disc at one-third, a second, hardly trace- 

 able, below and beyond, and a third in disc at two-thirds; 

 costal edge deeper than ground color, extreme costal edge 

 whitish from one-third tO' beyond middle ; cilia light fleshy- 

 red. Hindwing;s whitish-ochreous, with an obscure fuscous 

 suffusion at apex and more or less cotntinued narrowly to mid- 

 dle; cilia whitish-ochreous, becoming fuscous tinged around 

 apical portion. 



This is a neatly marked species recalling pudica, Meyr., in 

 general appearance, but without the lai^ge discal dot of that 

 species. The second spot is practically absent in the specimen 

 before me ; probably other specimens may show it. 



Dubbo. New South Wales; one specimen in June. 



EULECHRIA ATRADELPHA, n. Sp. 



Female, 24 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, and thorax dark 

 fuscous, palpi whitish internally, basal half of second joint 

 whitish, thorax with an obscure transverse whitish median 

 fascia. Legs dark fuscous, posterior pair mixed with ochreous- 

 whitish. Abdomen dark fuscous, with whitish segmental 

 rings, well defined. Forewings elongate, moderate, costa 

 gently arched, termen obliquely rounded; dark fuscous, finely 

 irrorated with som^ewhat bluish-white scales; base of wing 

 darker fuscous ; a moderately broad, straight transverse black 

 fascia, from one-third of costai to one-third dorsum, edged by 

 its own width, with clear white anteriorly, hardly reaching 

 margins ; a black transverse fascia from costa at two-thirds to 

 dorsum at anal angle, becoming dilated into an oval ring in 

 middle, centre filled with ground color ; some blackish scales 

 towards termen; cilia dark fuscous. Hindwings with veinst 

 3 and 4 from a point ; fuscous-purplish, lighter towards base ; 

 cilia fuscous, with a darker median line. 



Closely allied to thermistis, Low., of which it may be the 

 female, as the marking are almost identical in position, and
