the reception of uniformis, Meyr., (434), previously referred to 
Oecophora. I had overlooked the peculiar neural character in my 
specimen (it is not so conspicuous as might be supposed), and am 
indebted to my valued correspondent, Mr. E. Guest, of Balhannah, 
for calling my attention to it ; and I have so far departed from 
my usual practice as to name the genus in grateful recognition of 
his acumen, and of the generous assistance which I have invariably 
received from him. 
Oecophora, Z. 
738. (442a.) Oec. cosraanthes,n..sp. 
• 
14-18 mm. Head orange. Palpi ochreous-yellow, base 
dark fuscous. Antennae dark fuscous. Thorax ochreous-yellow, 
anterior margin rather broadly dark fuscous. Abdomen light 
ochreous-yellow. Legs dark grey, posterior pair ochreous-yellow. 
Forewings elongate, costa slightly arched, apex round-pointed, 
hindmargin nearly straight, very oblique ; ochreous-yellow ; 
markings dark fuscous, slightly purplish-tinged ; a narrow straight 
rather oblique fascia close to base ; a dot in disc at ? (rarely 
absent), and a second beneath it on fold, rarely united into a 
transverse mark ; a rather irregular narrow inwards-curved 
fascia from I of costa to anal angle ; a suboblong spot on upper 
half of hindmargin, continued as an irregular line along lower 
half : cilia rather dark grey, rather broadly sutfused until ochreous- 
yellow beneath apex. Hindwings grey ; cilia light ochreous- 
yellowish, tinged with grey at apex. 
Geraldton, West Australia ; in Octolier and November, common. 
This and the two following species are closely allied to one 
another, and to Oe. mifurea. This species diliei-s from the other 
three by the absence of any dark spot on inner margin ; from the 
two follow’ing also by the wholly yellow cilia of hindwings, and 
the anterior discal dots of forewings almo.st always separate ; 
from Oe. mifurea l>y the partially yellow cilia of forewings.
