Oenochroa endochlora, Meyr. 

 I have bred this species freely from pupae found under 

 the bark of Eucalyptus and Angophora in February and 

 March, at Wayville, South Australia. 



Oenochroa iobaphes, Meyr. 

 Bred under similar circumstances as above, in March, at 

 Wayville, South Australia. 



Oenochroa dinosema, Meyr. 

 The same remarks apply to this species. 



Philobota gypsomera, n. sp. 

 d, 16 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax white, lower two- 

 thirds of palpi tinged with fuscous. Antennae greyish, cili- 

 ations 1. Abdom.en dull ochreous. Legs ochreous-white, 

 anterior and middle pair more or less infuscat^d. Forewings 

 elongate, costa gently arched, apex pointed, termen oblique ; 

 pale whitish-ochreous ; veins more or less outlined with pale 

 fuscous, coalescing beneath costa so as to form a more or less 

 longitudinal streak from base to apex, leaving anterior two- 

 thirds of costa whitish; a small dot in middle of wing at one- 

 third from base; a second at posterior end of cell; cilia 

 ochreous-white. Hindwings and cilia pale ochreous-white. 

 Hab. — Hobart, Tasmania; two specimens in March. 



Philobota(?) capnochroa, n. sp. 



(S , 24 mm. Head and thorax fuscous. Antennae 

 ochreous-fuscous, antennal ciliations 1, palpi ochreous-whitish, 

 basal joint with sub-basal and subapical fuscous bands. 

 Abdomen ochreous. Legs dark fuscous, posterior pair 

 ochreous. Forewings elongate, rather broad, costa hardly 

 arched, termen oblique; dark fuscous; costal edge narrowly 

 ochreous, from near base to near apex; a few obscure scat- 

 tered blackish dots in disc ; an obscure curved series of fine 

 black dots from beneath costa at three-quarters to near tornus ; 

 cilia dark fuscous, mixed with blackish. Hindwings fuscous; 

 cilia fuscous, becoming ochreous around termen and tornus. 



Doubtfully referable to Philobota, perhaps a Compso- 

 tropha; the antennal ciliations would appear to place it in the 

 latter genus, but I can see no sign of a pecten. Fresher speci- 

 mens may decide the question. 



Hab. — Parkside, South Australia; two specimens in 

 March.
