Among the “Footmen” we have in the Genus _Spilosoma_ a number of fine white to greyish brown moths, mottled with blackish spots and dashes. The Light Ermine, _Spilosoma obliqua_, is common in Victoria and N.S. Wales; it has a wing measurement of 2 inches; is of a uniform dull white, lightly mottled over the wings with dark brown spots, some of them forming a slender irregular transverse band across; the abdomen is red with a dorsal stripe of black dots. _Spilosoma fulvohirta_ is about the same size, but much more darkly and thickly marked with brown, also forming dark stripes on the thorax. _Spilosoma fuscinula_ is a much smaller moth, slightly over 1 inch across the wings; it has a general rich pink tint, very variably spotted and blotched with black; the latter is sometimes quite the predominating colour, in others only marking the tips; the hind wings are spotted in the centre and on the hind margins only. The larvae are short, flattish, hairy grubs of a reddish colour, and feed upon the foliage of young gum trees. [Illustration: =Figs. 116= and =117=.--_Spilosoma obliqua_ (Walker). 116.

Larva, known as a “Woolly bear.” (“Agricultural Gazette,” N.S.W.)] The Genus _Termissa_ contains a number of smaller pretty little moths flying low and hiding among the foliage; about 10 species are well known. _Termissa shepherdi_, slightly over 1 inch across the wings, has the fore pair broad at the tips, is blackish brown, with 3 irregular yellow transverse bars; the hind pair yellow, with two rounded marks on the outer margin. _T. nivosa_ is a smaller moth of a delicate creamy white, with the front and outer margins of the fore wings delicately edged with dark yellow and black, and with two indistinct spots on the front margin; there is a small dot on each hind wing. Anderson says about Melbourne the larvae are to be found under the bark of gum trees in August. _Clauca rubricosta_ measures 1 inch across the wings; is of a general blackish tint with the palpi and collar behind the head dull red, a slender costal stripe of reddish yellow along the fore wings, and a yellow spot on the centre of the inner margin forming a distinctive mark when the wings are folded; the hind pair are pale yellow with dark edges. The Genus _Mosoda_ contains several moths whose larvae feed upon moss and lichens on the surface of the rocks about Sydney. _Mosoda anartoides_, under 1 inch across the wings, has the fore pair dark brown, delicately mottled; the hind pair dull orange yellow irregularly edged with brown. _M. consolatrix_, a smaller moth, has the fore wings greyish mottled brown; the hind pair pale buff. _M. jocularis_ is slightly smaller, pale buff yellow; the fore wings tipped and speckled with black and the outer tips of the hind pair clouded with brown. The Genus _Comarchis_ contains 8 described species, all small moths; _C. aspectatella_ is under 1 inch across the wings, the
