with a blackish line, more perceptible posteriorly ; a somewhat 
curved silvery-white streak, cutting through longitudinal streak, 
from apex to anal angle, attenuated towards anal angle; a fine 
waved, black, hindmarginal line, edged anteriorly with silvery- 
white ; cilia ochreous-fuscous, mixed with whitish, more persistent 
around apex. Hindwings grey, tinged with fuscous towards apex ; 
cilia grey-whitish, with a fuscous-dividing line, leaving a narrow 
strip of whitish at base. 
Two specimens received from Mr. E. Guest, Hoyleton, South 
Australia. One specimen from Trafalgar, Victoria; taken in 
March. Nearest acontophora, Meyr., but apart from its smaller 
size, it may be best distinguished from that species by the darker 
ground-color, the antennal ciliations, and apical streak. At first 
sight not unlike «ylophea, Meyr. 
PHYCIDID. 
EUZOPHERA (?) PYRRHOPTERA, Ni. sp. 
Male, 25 mm. Head, antenne, palpi, and thorax dark fuscous- 
purple, somewhat mixed with whitish, palpi whitish internally ; 
antenne swollen towards base. Ciliations about 4. Legs 
fuscous-purple, mixed with whitish, and with a tuft of whitish 
hairs on apex of joints ; posterior pair reddish, all tarsi ringed 
with white. Abdomen coppery-reddish. Forewings moderate, 
costa strongly arched towards base, thence nearly straight ; apex 
obtuse, hindmargin obliquely rounded, costa beneath with a fold 
or fringe of dark fuscous hairs edged with whitish, somewhat 
elliptical in shape, and extending from base to one-third ; dark 
fuscous-purple, very finely irrorated with whitish ; a moderately 
broad outwardly oblique whitish transverse fascia from about 
one-fourth of costa to one-third inner-margin, posterior edge 
bounded by a patch of very dark ground-color, which causes the 
fascia to appear prominent; an outwardly-curved pale fiesh- 
colored line, containing a disconnected row of dark fuscous dots 
in centre, from beneath costa at about three-fourths to just before 
four-fifths of inner-margin; a very fine dark fuscous hindmarginal 
line, somewhat dot-like; cilia fuscous purple, tips whitish; a 
fuscous basal line separated by a line of whitish. Hindwings 
pale fleshy-pink, with a darker hindmarginal line; cilia fleshy- 
pink, with ochreous basal and fuscous subbasal line. Wings 
beneath fleshy-pink, excepting basal half of forewings above 
middle, which is fuscous purple. 
One specimen at Brisbane, Queensland, in August. A very 
beautiful species. The curious fringe-like appendage is very 
noticeable, as is also the tufted tibiz. Recalls a large Zphestia 
in general appearance.
