ZEUCTOPHLEBIA; TAPINOGYNA; TA.XEOTIS, By L. B. Prout. 
o 
A. (?) pachygramma Lower. I have not seen this species and doubt whether it really belongs to the pachyyram 
genus. It is said to measure 18 mm and to be aberrant, superficially resembling a small Dichromodes. Fore¬ 
wing short, stone-colour, with minute and sparse black irroration; costal margin blackish towards base; a 
very thick black streak from near base of hindmargin to beyond middle of disc, curved upwards and atte¬ 
nuated at both extremities, paler-edged distally; a similar streak from apex to anal angle; terminal dots 
small. Hindwing similarly coloured, with a very indistinct postmedian line, not reaching costa. Eucla, West 
Australia, one $ in June. 
12. Genus: Xciictophlcbia Warr. 
Palpus less long than in most of the preceding genera. Antenna of £ strongly bipectinate, with apex 
simple; of $ simple. Forewing with apex subfalcate; the first two subcostals stalked, their stalk anastomo¬ 
sing with the costal, the 2nd subsequently anastomosing with the 3rd—4th; hindwing with the 2nd subcostal 
arising at or just before end of cell. The only two known species appear to be closely related in structure. 
Z. squalidata Walk. ( = rufipalpis Warr.) (1 g). Face, palpus and costal edge of forewing more or squalidala. 
less strongly red; both wings also with a reddish shade distally to the postmedian line; postmedian of fore¬ 
wing extremely oblique outwards from near costa to 1st radial, then oblique inwards; an oblique mark from 
the apex and some dark proximal spots bordering the subterminal sometimes conspicuous. Queensland, Sep¬ 
tember to December. 
Z. tapinodes Turn. Only the type yet known, measuring 24 mm. Distinguished by the grey head and tapinodes. 
palpus, dark grey basal half of costal margin and especially by the postmedian line, which runs from three- 
fourths of costa to three-fourths of hindmargin, fine and dentate. Stradbroke Island, Queensland. 
13. Genus: Tapiiiogyua Prout. 
Slenderly built, the $ considerably smaller than the <J. Antenna of nearest that of Antasia. Vena¬ 
tion of forewing also nearly as in Antasia , the costal vein rather far from the subcostal, the connecting bar 
consequently long. Hindwing with costal margin long, apex produced, though rounded, costal vein diverging 
from subcostal from about middle of cell, 2nd subcostal not stalked with 1st radial. 
T. perichroa Lower (1 g). A dingy brownish or fuscous species, not very densely scaled, the lines rather perichroa. 
widely separated, marked by black vein-dots, the postmedian angulated at the 1st radial and accompanied 
distally by some whitish scales on the veins. Hindwing paler, virtually without markings. Victoria, common 
at Birchip in September. Large, broad-winged specimens have recently been received from the vicinity of 
Perth, West Australia, and will perhaps prove to represent a local race. , 
14. Genus : Taxeotis Meyr. 
An extensive Australian genus, in facies often similar to Dichromodes , from which it differs in the 
simply ciliate $ antenna and in having the 1st subcostal vein of the forewing anastomosed strongly with the 
2nd and usually also connected by a bar (or occasionally anastomosing briefly) with the costal. 
1. Section: forewing with costal vein free. 
T. endela Meyr. (2a). Distinguished by the pale ferruginous face and palpus, whitish-ochreous colour- endela. 
ing, absence of antemedian line and straightness of postmedian, which consists of blackish vein-dots. The 
forewing beneath is much less whitish than above, though its base, distal and posterior margin are paler than 
the rest. I suspect the venation will prove variable, as I have examples in which the costal seems to touch 
the 1st subcostal. Local. In Victoria it occurs at Melbourne and Beaconsfield, in New South Wales at 
Bathurst, at 2500 feet altitude. November and December. 
T. stereospila Meyr. (1 g). Less whitish than endela , lines marked by costal spots and vein-dots, post- stereospila. 
median placed on a ferruginous shade, followed by a cloudy, sinuous dark line from apex to hindmargin. But 
the best distinction is in the cell-mark of the forewing which is annular (oval, with pale centre). New South 
Wales and Victoria, common in October and November, also from Brisbane. 
T. oraula Meyr. Only known to me from Mey rick’s two originals, which were taken in January on oraula. 
Mount Kosciusko, New South Wales, at 5000—5800 feet. Palpus wholly dark. Forewing pale grey with dark
