edge of central fascia, a triangular blotch extending along 

 posterior f of costa, connected beneath with a transverse blotch 

 resting on termen above tornus, and a spot extending along upper 

 half of termen; space above middle of disc included between these 

 dark markings in ^ suffused with pale ochreous : cilia ochreous- 

 whitish, indistinctly barred with grey, with a blackish subbasal 

 line. Hindwings with 6 and 7 approximated towards base; light 

 grey, in ^ posteriorly obscurely darker strigulated; a whitish 

 costal space from ^ to |; cilia wliitish, with light grey subbasal 

 shade. 



Vic: Gisborne (Lyell), Beaconsfield (Drake), Melbourne (Ray- 

 nor); in December, January, and April, seven specimens. This 

 species is quite distinct from A. rudis Walk., with which I con-
