 side of liindwings in both sexes like upperside in female, but 

 more distinctly marked and with a dark-fuscous antemedian

Type E. picata^ Hb., from Europe. This genus corre- 

 sponds to Hyclriomena, Section I., of my revision. In Aus- 

 tralia it is the dominant genus of the family, being especially 

 well represented in South-east Australia and Tasmania ; many 

 more species will doubtless be discovered, especially in the 

 mountains. The genus is also moderately well represented in 

 New Zealand.

Epirrhoe maerens, Swin. (Trans. Ent. Soc, 1902, p. 648),
