•this sp-ecies cannot be assured, but its evident relationshijp to 

 lyperytlu'd. Lower, suggest it being rightly referred. 

 Penola. South Australia ; one specimen, in November. 



MONOCTENIAD^E. 



Nearcha anemodes, n. sp. 



Female, 30 mm. Head, thorax, antennae, and abdomen pale 

 _fleshy-ochreous, face and palpi dark fuscous, palpi snow-white 

 beneath, abdomen whitish beneath. Legs grey-wliitish, ante- 

 rior pair somewhat infuscated. Forewings elongate-triangular, 



• costa straight, termen gently bowed, oblique ; pale fleshy- 

 .ochreous ; a moderate fuscous discal ring below costa in middle; 



a row of elongate black spots along termen; cilia fleshy- 



• ochreous. Hindwings with termen rounded ; color along ter- 

 men and cilia as in forewings ; base of wing somewhat paler ; a 

 dark fuscous discal dot. 



Very different in appearance to the other described s,pecies 

 by the absence of all markings except discal spot. 



Derby, Western Australia; one specimen, in November. I 

 have seen a sernnd. 



CEnone xenopiSj n. sp. 

 Male and female, 26-30 mm. Head, palpi, antemice, and 

 thorax dark fuscous, palpi with projecting hairs, thorax some- 

 Avhat crested. Abdomen ochreous. Legs fuscous, posterior 

 pair mixed with v>^hitish. Forewings elongate-triangular, 

 • costa gently arched, termen faintly waved, gently bowed, ob- 

 lique; dark fuscous; lines black, tolerably distinct; first from 

 one-fourth costa to one-third innermargin, straight on upiper 

 half, sinuate inwards on lower half; median obscure, from 

 costa before middle to before middle of innermargin ; second 

 from costa at two-thirds to innermargin before anal angle, 

 gently and evenly curved outwards on uppsi- half, sinuate on 

 lower half ; a moderate round black centred ochreous discal 

 spot on median shade ; a second, much larger, ovoid, similarly 

 colored, at posterior extremity of cell, both spots faintly edged 

 with black; an interrupted black line along termen; cilia 

 fuscous, with median and subterminal blackish lines. Hind- 

 wings with termen rounded, waved ; greyish-fuscous, lighter 

 on basal half ; median and second lines fuscous, faintly indi- 

 cated, becoming sharply defined on innermargin ; line along 

 termen as in forewings ; cilia greyish, with two fuscous lines. 



An early and interesting type, very unlike the other de- 

 scribed species, in appearance recalling species of Xorful/fa 



Broken Hill, New South Wales ; three specimens, in April 

 . and jMay. I have seen specimens from Victoria.
