generally found clinging to the tree trunks, where they are easily captured (p. 239). 
The moths often attain a large size. The Wood-moths are of special interest to the 
botanist. Mr. Froggatt's paper, in which he acknowledges his indebtedness to Mr. R. 
Thornton, of the Newcastle district, N.S.W., " Wood Moths, with some account of 
their life-histories" (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xix, 375, 1894), may be referred to. 
In that paper he deals with the following species : 
Eudoxyla eucalypti (?). It is unfortunate that the name Zeuzera (Eudoxyla) 
eucalypti was given to the Wattle Goat-moth, as it never frequents any species of 
Eucalyptus, but confines itself to feeding on the timber of Wattles (Acacia). It i 
figured in French's " Handbook of the Destructive Insects of Victoria," Part III, 
Plate L. 
Eudoxyla liturata is a moth which measures from 7 to 8 inches across the wings. 
The larvae are found in the stems of several Eucalypts, but it shows a marked preference 
for that of the " Grey Gum" (perhaps E. propinqua). 
Eudoxyla macleayi is the largest species of the genus, specimens measuring 
9 inches across the forewings. The larvae have been watched for four years in the 
tnink of the White Mahogany (Eucalyptus acmenioides). 
Mr. Froggatt refers to Mr. Olliffs paper on the moth, called by Mr. Scott 
Leto stacyi, " Notes on Zelotypia stacyi, and an account of a variety." (Proc. Linn. 
Soc. N.8.W., xii, 469, 1887). It feeds on the stem of the Grey Gum (E. tereticornis), 
but the usual name for the Grey Gum is E. propinqua. 
Mr. Froggatt also describes Charagia splendens, and says the species breeds 
annually, forming a thick felty bag all round the branch, and boring a hole several 
inches down_the stem or branch. Mr. Thornton gives the host as Grey Gum (Eucalyptus 
tereticornis) and Stringybark (E. leucoxylon). E. leucoxylon is quite wrong, and may be 
E. capitettata. The names of the host plants in Mr. Froggatt's paper (which is most 
interesting) should be revised. It is figured in Scott's " Australian Lepidoptera," and 
the author says it is found dwelling in juxtaposition with C. lignivora. 
Cliaragia lignivora. It is figured on Plate II of Scott's " Australian Lepidoptera," 
and he states that the larvae exist in considerable abundance in the interior of the 
saplings of Casuarina, Callistemon, Eucalyptus, Dodoncea, Acmena (Eugenia), and he 
figures it on Evodia micrococca. Under the name " Green Hanging Moth of the Apple," 
to which fruit tree it does much damage, C. French has figured it in his " Destructive 
Insects of Victoria," Part IV. He states that the moth had hitherto confined itself 
to native trees. 
Family Pscychidae (Bag or Case Moths). 
One often hears them called Gase Moths, and they are well known in Australia, 
where there are thirteen described species according to Froggatt. 
(Ecobia frauenfeldi is figured by Scott in his " Australian Lepidoptera" on 
a flowering twig " of Eucalyptus which grows on the north shore of Port Jackson." 
I am somewhat doubtful as to the Eucalypt depicted.
