This species is remarkable for its attitude during re.st. The 

 forewings are directed directly forwards, the costse being parallel, 

 while the hindwings are-directed backwards, their dorsal edges 

 being appressed to the abdomen. It appears to be very retired 

 in its habits, and very hard to distinguish on the bark of the 

 stems of Melaleuca.
