Euproctis obsoleta. Walker (nee Fabr.) : iv. 839 (1855). 

 a. Van Diemen's Land (10). b. New Holland (2). c. Ade- 



laide. 



Walker wrongly identified this insect as obsoleta (Fabr. : Ent. Syst, 

 iii. i. 463), but the Fabrician type specimen which is in the Banksian 

 Cabinet, B. M., though superficially like this insect, belongs to the 

 Genus Lczlia, and therefore Walker's name for the Euproctis can 

 stand.
