example, says that it is distinct, and gives the following 

 differences: — "The form of the forewings is distinctly different 

 [in pyroraj, those of eophila being narrower anteriorly and 

 wider posteriorly as compared with pijrora, the colour of the 

 hindwings different, being orange-yellow in eophila and deep- 

 orange in pyrora, and the antennal ciliations somewhat shorter 

 in eophila than in pyrora. Both species have veins 2 and 3 

 of forewings stalked, but other allied species are transitional 

 in this character." Eophila is known only from New South 

 Wales (Ebor).

Eulechria d'wphanes, Turn. : ante, 1898, p. 207. 



Mr. Meyrick refers my species to this genus. The term- 

 inal joints of the palpi are thickened, but very slightly 

 roughened. 



Eulechria homochroa. 



I have to record this species also from Queensland : 

 Brisbane, in April ; Mount Tambourine, in January ; Too- 

 woomba, in March and April. New South Wales: Sydney, 

 in March and April.
