 Subfamily AGARISTIDAE. 



27. Cruria donovani, Bdv. 

 I have a single battered specimen, taken at Balaclava,, 

 near Broken Hill, in January. As some species of this group* 

 are said to feed on Loranthus, and as this plant is abundant 

 here, it is curious that the family is not more freely repre- 

 sented . 



NOCTUINA. 



This group is well represented here, and I possess several 

 species which are probably new, but not in a fit condition for 

 description. The genera Ornphalefis and Ariathisa are most 

 abundant, but nearly every family is represented.
