few whitish scales in disc above this ; a sub triangular ochreous- 
whitish spot on costa at f , reaching half across wing ; some whitish 
scales or indistinct dots on hindmargin : cilia light ochreous-yellow, 
with an interrupted dark fuscous line near base, at apex and 
anal angle wholly dark fuscous. Hindwings yellow-orange ; 
hindmarginal edge and a rather narrow subtri angular apical 
patch dark fuscous ; cilia in ^ grey-yellowish, at apex and on 
basal third fuscous, in 9 wholly fuscous-grey. 
Northampton and York, West Australia; two specimens in 
November, apparently attached to an Acacia. P. thermochroa is 
very near this, and should be transferred from Peltophora to this 
position, though the ^ is .still unknown ; it is easily distinguished 
by the snow-white markings and cilia. P. theorica, it is reasonable 
to suppose, will also prove to be referable here when the ^ is 
known, as it clearly marks the transition from the preceding to 
the following species, and may certainly be transferred pro- 
visionally.

ochreous ; markings black ; a small spot on base of co.sta ; a 
sinuous irregular streak proceeding from submedian fold before 
middle to middle of costa, semicircularly curved and returning to 
iniier margin before anal angle, thence continued up hindmargin 
to apex, where it is considerably dilated ; some black scales along 
posterior half of costa : cilia yellow-ochreous, towards anal angle 
mixed with dark grey. Hindwings dark fuscous ; cilia pale 
ochreous, with a thick dark fuscous basal line, below middle of 
hindmargin wholly dark fuscou.s. 
Victoria ; one specimen (Coll. Lucas). P. siymojdiora is to be 
tranferred to this position from Eriodyla ; it is nearly allied to
