. Above. Forewing orange-yellow with apex and termen narrowly brown. Hindwing orange-yellow: 
sometimes an obscure subtornal ocellus, brown. 
Beneath. Forewing as above but paler: dark margins reduced to a narrow line. Hindwing as 
above but paler: a subai^ical and a subtornal ocellus, black, each enclosed by a narrow silver line, and 
with a minute silver S 2 >ot midway between them: a narrow sublerminal line, silver.

The ocelli of hindwing are usually only scaled beneath, but the membrane is so thin that they are 
visible above- 
Genus NESOXENICA nov. 
Antennae about half the length of costa, with clubs short, broad and abrupt. Eyes haiiy. Forewing 
with vein 12 and median vein moderately, and vein la very slightly, swollen at base: vein 12 reaching 
costa beyond end of cell: vein 11 from subcostal at about livesixths: vein 10 from subcostal just 
before end of cell: vein 5 longer than vein 6 : discocellulars bent inwards: cell more than half the length 
of wing. Hindwing with vein 3 and vein 4 arising well apart: cell about half the length of wing. 
Type. Nesoxenica leprea Hewitson, from Mt. Wellington, Tasmania. 
This genus contains two races of a single narrow winged alpine si^ecies, very simhar to Oreixenicaj 
but at once separated by the hairy eyes. We have one aberrant example in which vein 6 of forewing 
arises from vein 7 well beyond end of cell.

vein 3, cream: a series of small terminal spots, white. Hindwing black: a spot in cell and an irregu¬

small terminal spots, white. ! .
