near anal angle. This looks as if it "had been burned through 

 the wing, and distinguishes the species immediately. Gene- 

 rally considered common, but I have only once captured it in 

 this locality. 



2. Phrixogontts laticostatus, Walk. 

 Expanse, T'. October, November, December, and again in 



March. 



General colour purplish-brown, with a much darker irregular 

 bar across the wing. The male may be known at once by a 

 long tuft of scales projecting from costa at one-fourth from 

 base. This is absent in the female, which has also the dark 

 bar much narrower and quite straight. A common insect ; sits 

 on tree trunks and fences. 



3. Phrixogoxus insigillatus, Walk. 

 Expanse, 6" to 7 7 . March. 



Pore-wings more pointed and costa more arched than in 

 laticostatus, and it is also lighter coloured. The costal tuft is 

 wanting, but there is a raised knob of scales below costa at 

 one-half. Not common. 



4. Epict^ie rtjbroptjnctaria, Dhld. 



Expanse, 10''. November and December, and again in 

 March. 



A pretty light pink-coloured insect, with fine transverse 

 lines of a darker shade. There are generally three or four 

 large confluent purplish-red spots running from centre of wing 

 to inner margin, but these are often nearly obsolete, and in 

 one of my specimens they form a band running right across 

 the wing. Common. 



5. ANACHLORIS SrBOCHRARIA, Dbld. 



Expanse, 1'. October to May. 



Bright orange yellow, with a tawny stripe across wing at 

 two-thirds. Hind margin tawny, and the space between this 

 and central stripe is often suffused with a lighter shade of the 

 same colour. Very common. 



6. Cephalissa severata, Git. 

 Expanse, 1' October and November. 



Dark grey, with nearly black basal patch, and a broad black 

 stripe across centre of wing. The female is more obscurely 

 marked than the male, and might almost be taken for another 

 species. Sits on prostrate logs, and flies very fast when dis- 

 turbed. A common species. 



7. Cephalissa Mortuata, Git. 

 Expanse, 11". March and April.
