I have observed, ab. fervidata is small and pale, with whitish boundaries to the median area of the forewing. 
All the three types came from Tasmania, but as correlata sometimes occurs with it there, and ebuleata has been 
found in Victoria, it cannot be regarded as merely a geographical modification. 
E. polyxantha Meyr. (28 c) is distinguished by the very narrow median band, with a series of dots at polyxantha. 
a distance from it on either side (considered by Meyrick to be the true boundaries of the median area) and 
by the conspicuously darkened fringe of the forewing. Hindwing very weakly marked, a strong contrast to 
that of its other narrowly dark-banded relative, jierornata (28 d). Forewing beneath with a large dark apical 
cloud, continued posteriorly as a weaker and narrower shade; hindwing with an irregular broad subterminal 
band. Mount Kosciusko (type), Ebor and Mount Macedon. 
E. leucozona Meyr. (28 c). Recognizable at a glance by the pure white stripe in the centre of the median leucozona. 
area (sometimes interrupted). Mount Kosciusko (4500 feet) to Tasmania, locally common. 
E. cydalima Turn. 2 $$, 26—28 mm, from Victoria (Beaconsfield and Lome). Central stripe of forewing cydalima. 
white, but not show-white, at costal end broader and containing a cell-dot, the subordinate markings less faint, 
ante- and post-median lines fuscous, slender, the former at y 3 , nearly straight, the latter from % costa to % hind- 
margin, with slight subcostal and central projections, edged distally with white, slender whitish subterminal 
present. Hindwing with much more marking than in leucozona, at least posteriorly. Underside with dark sub- 
terminal bands incomplete at tornus. 
E. mecynata Guen. (28 d). Duller than any of the foregoing ochreous-winged species; especially so the mecynatu. 
a, which has nearly the entire uppersicle dark-suffused. Mind wing above and both wings beneath with darkened 
borders, that of the underside in large part dull reddish. Tasmania (loc. typ.) and to Queensland (Toowoomba). 
E. perornata Walk. (28 d). Forewing more marked with red, its costal margin and a part of the lines perornata. 
brightly rosy; the dark maculation, both above and beneath, also characteristic. Tasmania (type) and a few 
mountain localities in Victoria and New South Wales. 
E. chrysocyma Meyr. (28 d). Considerably smaller. Palpus 2*4, with rather long, lax hair, showing (as chrysocyma. 
also several of the succeeding mountain species) some approach to those of Dasyuris, to which, indeed. Turner 
(1926) has transferred one of them, polycarpa. filiation of $ 2 / 5 . Forewing blackish, with orange lines, the 
ante- and post-median broad, the median slender or macular, the subterminal macular. Hindwing deep orange, 
with dark lines and border, the latter containing the irregular orange subterminal. Mount- Kosciusko, at high 
altitudes. Also on Cradle Mountain, Tasmania, at 3000 feet-. 
E. stereozona Meyr. (28 d). Both surfaces almost alike, except that the hindwing beneat-li has an ad- stereozona. 
ditional orange patch at the apex. Described from Mount Kosciusko, subsequently recorded from Mount Erica, 
Victoria. 
E. oxygona Meyr. (28 d). Considerably larger, palpus shorter, the yellow parts somewhat lighter, on oxygona. 
the forewing reduced, the subbasal line being absent. Mount Kosciusko. 
E. polycarpa Meyr. (28 d). would probably be better placed in Dasyuris (cf. E. chrysocyma)-, face and polycarpa. 
palpus perhaps even rougher than in D. hedylepta. Rather variable, markings of forewing whitish yellow, 
more or less waved or crenulate, beneath with the dark parts greatly reduced; subterminal line sometimes 
complete, sometimes rudimentary. Mount Kosciusko (type) and Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. 
E. heterotropa Turn. (28 d). I have only a damaged, but well recognizable <$ of this very distinct heterotropa. 
species, here figured. The bidentate antemedian and bisinuate postmedian distinguish it at once from polycarpa. 
Forewing beneath, as in that, predominantly whitish-yellow. Cradle Mountain, 2000—2500 feet. 2 of the 
6 originals have the areole asymmetrical, on one wing undivided. 
E. orthropis Meyr. (28 e). Upperside in both sexes at first sight similar to that of mecynata <$, forewing orthropis. 
somewhat broader, with the (feeble) markings whitish; hindwing with the anterior part suffused with whitish. 
Underside with the yellowish parts much paler than in mecynata, the borders darker, that of the forewing quite 
different in shape, broader at costa, narrowing rapidly, quite narrow in posterior part. Ciliation of $ antenna 
extremely short. Mount Kosciusko. - - tasmanica Turn. Forewing “fuscous, with scarcely any brownish tinge”, tasmanica. 
postmedian line with usually a very slight- bidentate median projection, terminal half of fringe not, or only 
very slightly, barred with whitish. Mount Wellington and Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. 
E. trissophrica Turn., founded on a $ from Mount Wellington, expanding 36 mm, is said to resemble trissophrica. 
orthropis in having the costal part of the hindwing whitened, but-, in addition to its much larger size, has the 
hindwing crenulate, the forewing whitish, with numerous fine wavy dark lines, a whitish median band con-
