E. propinqua Turn. (28 g) recently described from West Australia, is closely allied to anthracinata, but 
with the termen of the <$ forewing straight. The $$ of the two species are difficult to distinguish, but the lines 
in propinqua $, so far as it is yet known, are somewhat more crenulate, the ante- and postmedian lines less 
strongly marked. 
E. subrectaria Guen. (=- responsata Walk.) (28 h) is an inconspicuous little species and not notably 
variable, but is interest ing as being one of the very few which are common to Australia ( Queensland to Tasmania) 
and New Zealand (both islands). Lines straightish, the postmedian throughout almost parallel with the termen. 
subrectiaria type came from Tasmania, responsata from “South Australia". - casta Btlr. type (from Marlborough, 
N. Z.) is sharply marked, the black mark on the postmedian and the presubterminal spots strong; perhaps 
the New Zealand form is beginning to diverge racially. 
E. pliaulophanes Turn. $ $,22 —24 mm. Palpus 2(4, fuscous. Antenna in slightly serrate and minutely 
ciliated. Forewing apex pointed, termen gently rounded, oblique, wavy; pale fuscous; a moderate, slightly 
darker basal patch, a slightly darker median band defined by very slender whitish lines, the antemedian slightly 
curved, wavy, indistinct, the postmedian from 4 / 5 costa to % hindmargin, wavy, scarcely projecting in middle; 
an interrupted dark terminal line; fringe fuscous. Hindwing strongly rounded; pale grey”. Denmark, West 
Australia, a pair. Affinities not indicated. 
E. inangulata Bastelb. (28 h), described as Epirrhoe, must belong to this genus. Antennae and abdomen 
wanting in the type <$, which was said to come from Melbourne. White-yellow, with brown markings. Fore¬ 
wing with basal patch marked by numerous extremely fine lines; median band narrow, not solid, its edges 
straight, as are also the succeeding (divided) white-yellow band; subterminal present. Hindwing similarly but 
much more weakly marked. Will probably have to sink to the following. 
E. ptochopis (Meyr., M. S.) Turn. (28 h). $, 24 mm. Abdomen whitish, 3rd and 4th segments with 
paired dark dots edged posteriorly with white. Forewing elongate, costa almost straight, termen strongly 
oblique; whitish, with numerous straight oblique lines, a dark cell-dot and a short oblique dark apical streak. 
Hindwing with termen nearly straight to near apex, there rounded; the lines indistinct and restricted to the 
distal half of the wing. Type from Beaconsfield, Victoria; later recorded from New South Wales (Moruya). We 
figure Meyrick's unpublished original, a smaller (22 mm) from Melbourne, with simple antenna, the lines 
not literally straight; it will need careful comparison with Turner's species and with inangulata. 
E. perialla Turn. $ $, 30—35 mm. Palpus 2 1 / i . Forewing broad, costa moderately arched, termen 
wavy; brown, with fuscous and whitish lines; edge of basal patch excurved; median band broad at costa, narrow 
at hindmargin, its anterior part- containing a paler patch, in which, near its proximal edge, stands the cell-mark; 
fine whitish lines edging the band, the antemedian curved outward, the postmedian arising beyond % costa, 
at first perpendicular, then shortly incurved, in the middle forming an obt-ure double prominence; subterminal 
line fine, interrupted, accompanied proximally and (near apex) distally by some fuscous suffusion. Hindwing 
strongly rounded, dentate; orange, posteriorly suffused with fuscous and marked with many paler and darker 
short lines, the suffusion extending on termen to middle. Mount Kosciusko, 4500 feet (type), Mount St. Bernard, 
etc. (Description abridged from Turner). 
E. conifasciata Bull. (28 h). Variable in depth of colouring and other details but easily known among 
the yellow-winged Eupliyia by the straight distal edge of the subtriangular median band; subbasal line out- 
curved to approach or touch the antemedian; apical dash conspicuous. In the type, a Melbourne $, the median 
band is narrowed so that its boundary-lines meet before reaching the hindmargin, but this is exceptional. New 
South Wales to Tasmania. 
E. tacera Turn. 30—32 mm. Palpus 2. Antennal ciliation minute. Said to be “not unlike lucidulata” 
(28 h), but with slightly excurved, not dentate, antemedian line, etc. HindAving yellow-ochreous, with 3 fine 
dark lines from proximal half of hindmargin, only the first reaching costa, a double subterminal (usually reaching 
about to the middle of the Aving) and a narrow terminal band (sometimes obsolete towards apex). NeAV South 
Wales: Barrington Top. 
E. lucidulata Walk. The type $ from “Tasmania" and the only other $ which I have seen from that 
country (Cradle Mountain) are considerably larger and paler than ordinary Australian forms, the areas proximally 
and distally to the post-median white, the distal one broad; but a from Kelso is small and normally coloured. 
Whether this “name-type" is racially separable or an “ab. loc.”, I have no means of deciding. — f. festa form, 
nov. (28 h). In any case this brightly coloured form, Avith only the slender lines which bound the dark areas 
clean white, needs a separate name. New South Wales and Victoria, type from Gisborne.
