OREIXENICA 
sharply defined than in l^.enica, O. hersliawi differs from the oilier species of the genus in the clubs of 
antennae being less abrupt, the hindwing more elongate, and in the j^resence of a sexmark in the male. 
The wing ocelli of kershawi have the ])U])ils bluish, while the ocelli of the other species of the genus are 
white-pupilled. 
41. Oreixenica lathoniella Westwood. 
This pretty little species has a wide range in southeastern Australia, and appears to be unusuallv 
susceptible to local infiuences, for it has developed no fewer than four races. Dr. Lucas described a fifiii 
from Tasmania but, in the absence of his type of pahidosa^ Ave are unable to say Avhether this differs 
from the eastern Tasmanian race, Avhich Ave consider typical lathoniella: WestAvood^s type probablv 
came from the neighbourhood of Hobart. ;
