Gisborne, Victoria, in April (G. Lyell) ; one specimen. 



An obscure insect, apparently nearest to E. cerodes, but 

 distinguishable by the somewhat different form of wing, sub- 

 basal fascia, and the absence of the characteristic fine ochreous- 

 white costal edge. 



EULECHRIA SCOTIODES, U. Sp. 



Male, 16-17 mm. Head and thorax dark fuscous mixed 

 with whitish-ochreous. Palpi dark fuscous, second joint with 

 whitish apical and subapical rings. Antennse fuscous, cilia- 

 tions (1). Abdomen fuscous, segmental margins ochreous- 

 whitish. Legs dark fuscous ringed with ochreous-whitish, 

 hairs of posterior tibise ochreous-whitish. Forewings elon- 

 gate, rather narrow, costa moderately arched, apex round- 

 pointed, termen very obliquely rounded; dark fuscous, irre- 

 gularly mottled with ochreous-whitish ; stigmata rather large, 

 darker fuscous, ill-defined, plical obliquely before first discal, 

 an additional spot beyond first discal, and one on costa above 

 second discal ; cilia whitish-fuscous, partially mixed with dark 

 fuscous. Hindwings grey-whitish ; cilia whitish ochreous, 



round apex fuscous-tinged. 



Adelaide, South Australia, in September (O. Lower) ; three 

 specimens. 



This species is easily recognised *by the peculiar ochreous- 

 whitish mottling of the nai-row forewings, and the grey-whitish 

 hindwings ; iperhaps most allied to E. adelphodes, Low. 



EULECHRIA OPTALEA, n. Sp. 



Female, 14 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax pale yellow- 

 ochreous, sprinkled with brown or dark fuscous. Antennse 

 whitish-ochreous, annulated with dark fuscous. Abdomen 

 whitish-ochreous, ovipositor very long. Legs dark fuscous, 

 ringed with whitish-ochreous, hairs of posterior tibiae whitish- 

 ochreous. Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently arched, 

 apex round-pointed, termen extremely obliquely rounded ; 

 light yellow-ochreous, sprinkled with dark fuscous; dark fus- 

 cous dots on base of costa and dorsum ; stigmata moderate, 

 dark fuscous, plical directly beneath first discal; a very 

 strongly curved series of undefined dark fuscous dots from 

 three-fifths of costa to tornus, running very close to costa and 

 termen ; cilia pale yellow-ochreous, sprinkled with dark fus- 

 cous, tips ochreous-whitish. Hindwings tolerably ipointed, 

 grey, becoming whitish-grey anteriorly; cilia ochreous- 

 whitish.
