858 REVISION OP AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



very pale whitish-ochreoiis, sometimes minutely sprinkled with 

 blackish ; lines pale ochreous-grey ; first obsolete ; a small black 

 discal dot, much before median ; median very faint, cloudy, from 

 f of costa to middle of inner margin, nearly straight ; second from 

 5 of costa to I of inner margin, slender, tolerably distinct, denticu- 

 late, slightly sinuate above middle and above inner margin ; sub- 

 terminal narrow, more or less interrupted into spots ; submarginal 

 cloudy; a hindmarginal row of minute black dots: cilia pale whitish- 

 ochreous. Hindwings with hindmargin rounded ; veins 6 and 7 

 from a point ; colour, second line, and posterior markings as in 

 forewings ; a very faint median line, suddenly sinuate inwards 

 above middle, marked with a black discal dot. 



Glen Innes (3500 feet) and Sydney, New South Wales, in 

 December, February, and April ; several specimens. Although 

 keeping this form separate at present, in default of suiEcient 

 evidence, I am inclined to believe that it is probably a summer 

 generation of A. recessata, with which it agrees in structure ; 

 although quite distinguishable superficially, the only tangible 

 point seems to be obsolescence of the median line.
