^9. 13-15 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax dark fuscous, slightly 

 whitish-sprinkled. Abdomen pale grey. Forewings elongate, 

 narrow, hardly dilated, costa slightly arched, apex round-pointed, 

 termen very oblique, slightly rounded; dark shining leaden-grey, 

 sprinkled with blackish; five cloudy irregular transverse blackish 

 streaks, last subterminal, and additional small blackish spots on 

 costa in middle and before apex; a transverse linear whitish mark 

 in disc at f, its upper end right-angled anteriorly and suffused 

 with yellow-ochreous, and a transverse whitish mark rather 

 before it above dorsum; in one ^ a white transverse line follow- 

 ing first blackish streak, some white sufi"usion in disc before 

 middle, and lower posterior white mark enlarged and connected 

 with upper : cilia grey mixed with black. Hindwings with 3 

 and 4 stalked; grey-whitish, suffused with grey posteriorly and 

 on lower margin of cell; cilia grey-whitish, suffused with grey 

 round apex and upper half of termen. 



West Australia : Albany, from September to December; five 

 specimens. Dithers from all by stalking of veins 3 and 4 of hind- 

 wings, and whitish markings of forewings. I regard this as the 

 most ancestral form, and think the genus probabl}' originated in 

 West Australia.
