inner margin, where it extends to f, its posterior edge whitish 
in disc, faintly sinuate; a light ochreous-yellow streak from middle 
of disc to anal angle, becoming white towards disc : cilia light 
purple-rosy sprinkled with fuscous, terminal third rather dark 
fuscous. Hindwings and cilia grey. 
Deloraine and Hobart, Tasmania ; Mount Lofty, South Aus- 
tralia ; in November and December, locally common. A peculiar 
and striking species. 
Eriodyta, Meyr. 
I propose to retain in this genus E. contentella only, and, by 
laying stress on characters drawn from the palpi rather than from 
the scaling of the head, to remove all the remainder into already 
established genera, as has been already in part indicated ; viz. 
E. sigmophora and E. suhpunctella into Philohota^ as noted above ; 
and E. ahductella, E. leptostola, E. hololeuca^ and E. vernahs into 
Philonympha. To the characters of Philonympha should be 
added : second joint of palpi with scales dilated and somewhat 
projecting beneath towards apex ; this should be made the 
character to distinguish it from Philobota. The characters of 
Eriodyta should be modified to read : second joint of palpi not 
reaching base of antennae. 
Peltophora, Meyr. 
I have removed hence P. orthogramma, which I have recognised 
to belong to Linosticha) and P. thermochroa and theorica, which, as 
noted above, are transferred to Philohota. A tabulation of all 
the species is given at the end.
