two oblique white streaks before apex ; from its anterior angle 

 proceeds a slender blackish sinuate line at first inwards, then 

 curved outwards to anal angle ; a dark fuscous-grey cloudy streak 

 parallel and close to lower half of hindraargin : cilia whitish with 

 two black lines (?). Hindwings deep yellow, apex and hindmargin 

 broadly suffused with dark fuscous ; cilia grey-yellowish, with a 

 dark fuscous line near base. 



A distinct and handsome species, superficially separable from 

 Phric. asperana by the yellow hindwings, and the entire basal 

 patch, black apical spot, and absence of ferruginous markings 

 on forewings. 



One specimen, taken at Sydney in October. 



2. Helict. uberana, n. sp. 



<$ $ . 6"-7". Head, palpi, thorax, and antennae ochreous- 

 brown, sometimes mixed with dark fuscous. Abdomen dark 

 fuscous. Legs grey-whitish, anterior tarsi black with base and 

 two narrow median rings whitish, anterior and middle tibiae, and 

 middle and posterior tarsi banded with dark fuscous. Forewings 

 moderate, costa bent before apex, apex obtusely rounded ; 

 ochreous-brown, more or less irrorated and suffused with dark 

 fuscous ; costa with slender oblique whitish strigulse, the inter- 

 spaces between which are black ; a small subquadrate black spot 

 on costa at one-fourth, and a blackish ill-defined spot on disc at 

 one-third, indistinctly connected ; a small subquadrate black spot 

 on costa in middle ; some indistinct dark fuscous transverse 

 strigulse towards anal angle and hindmargin : cilia ochreous- 

 brown or dark fuscous. Hindwings dark fuscous-grey; cilia 

 fuscous-grey, with a dark suffused line near base. 



Var. Forewings with a large round ochreous-yellow blotch in 

 disc above middle at two-thirds from base. 



Recognisable by the rich ochreous-brown colour, and peculiarly 

 rounded apex of forewings ; the variety characterised is curious, 

 but appears to belong to this species without doubt.
