EUPROCTIS. By Dr. E. Strand. 
the other extending from 2 / 3 of the costal margin to the dorsal margin. Fringes ochreous, in the terminal half 
lighter. Hindwing orange with a lighter basal half. Veins 3 and 4 of the hindwing are on a footstalk. 22 mm. 
South Australia; in November. 
pycnadel- E. pycnadelpha Lower. <$ 20 mm. Smoke-brown, collar ochreous, costal margin of forewing lighter 
plm. than the surface of the wing. Hindwing in the basal two thirds a little lighter. — Allied with E. euryzona Low. 
South Australia; in March. 
pelodes. E. pelodes Loiver. <$: body, wings and extremities brownish ochreous. Forewing oblong triangular, 
costal margin near the base feebly curved, margin oblique, apex rounded; between the anal angle and the apex 
of the wing a row of rather sharply marked whitish spots, the first being more oblong; the row is midway distally 
angled; fringes whitish-ochreous, marked darker. Hindwing and fringes like the forewing, but not marked. 
Expanse of wings: 25 mm. Parkside (Adelaide) in Australia; taken by the lamp in January. 
ludfuga. E. luciluga T. P. Lucas. <$: body and palpi ferruginous-yellow. Antennae reddish-yellow with 
dark pinnae. Forewing ferruginous-yellow or orange-brown, with two indistinct, ochreous, undulate transverse 
lines in the middle and at 3 / 4 , and with ochreous-yellowish fringes. Hinclwing smoke-black with fringes as in 
the forewing. <$ 17 to 28, $ 22 to 30 mm. Queensland, Mackay, Cooktown to Brisbane. Closely allied with 
E. chrysophaea Wkr. — E. ludfuga Luc. is, though certainly wrongly, synonymized by Turner 1902 with 
chrysophaea Wkr. which is African. According to Swinhoe (1903), ludfuga is discernible from chrysophaea 
by the brown speckling of the forewings, whereby the latter appear dark orange; beneath both wings are dark 
brown with orange margins (in chrysophaea uni-coloured bright light orange). 
The following 3 species are often reckoned to a separate genus Urocoma H.-Schdff. which, however, 
is not for certain distinguishable from Euproctis. 
marginalis. E. ( Urocoma) marginalis Wkr. Both sexes dark brown. Head, antennae, chest and legs brownish-yellow 
of which colour is also the anal apex. Hindwing with a broad white marginal band. — <$: forewing with white 
spots and with a white streak along the margin. $: forewing with a broad white marginal band. Expanse 
of wings: 28% to 41 mm. Tasmania, Australia. 
limbalis. E. ( Urocoma ) limbalis H.-Schdff. (47 e). <$: blackish-brown. Forewing with an anteriorly linear, 
posteriorly gradually widening, light brownish-grey marginal band and somewhat darker fringes; along the 
proximal margin of the posterior half of the marginal band there is a row of four small, snow-white spots entirely 
or almost touching each other and increasing in size posteriorly. Hindwing with a white marginal band 
which is about twice as broad as that of the forewing and everywhere rather equally broad; fringes a little 
darker, but in their posterior half spotted white. Anal brush split [whether accidentally ?], reddish-yellow. 
Expanse of wings: 39 mm. Australia: Sydney. 
baliolalis. E. ( Urocoma ) baliolalis Swh. (45 a). E'■ frons dark ochreous, antennae light ochreous, thorax and 
forewing light chocolate, abdomen black with orange apex. ForeAving with a dark spot at the end of the cell, 
a broad, greyish-white marginal band hued ochreous, the proximal margin of which is irregidar and exhibits 
white spots, a light discal transverse line. Hindwing in the basal half blackish-brown, the terminal half and 
the costal area white, besides a white basal patch. Beneath as above but lighter. Expanse of wings: 44 mm. 
Australia: Moreton Bay (Sydney). 
edwardsi. E. edwardsi Newm. <$: reddish-yellow; forewing in the basal and discal areas lead-coloured yellowish- 
grey, but this area encloses a reddish-yellow, white-pupilled, round spot at the end of the cell and at the distal 
margin it is midway slightly dentate. Abdomen black, at both its ends, however, yellow. Antennal pinnae 
brownish. The whole under surface light reddish-yellow. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Victoria (in Australia); 
iogata. Adelaide'. — togata T. P. Lucas. (J: head, palpi and thorax ochreous-brown. Antennae ochreous with brown 
pinnae. Abdomen black with an ochreous-brown anal brush. Forewing lustrous purple grey, except the 
posterior margin from the base to 2 / 5 , a large discal spot and the marginal quarter, which parts are ochreous- 
brown. All the fringes, as well as the hindwings ochreous-brown. Certainly closely allied with E. edivardsi 
Newm. and often considered as the synonym of it. 40 mm. Brisbane. 
leucomelas. E. leucomelas Wkr. (44 i). (J: white, palpi and forelegs on the inside yellow. Antennae black. Fore- 
wing blackish on the costal margin and in the apical third. Hinclwing towards the apex brownish-grey. 
Expanse of wings: 32% mm. Hobart (Tasmania); Melbourne.
