base ; whitish, closely irrorated with greyish-fuscous, especially 

 towards apex ; costa and inner margin marked with small dark 

 fuscous spots ; an irregular outwardly curved transverse dark 

 fuscous line near base; a subquadrate dark fuscous spot on costa 

 before middle ; a strong black longitudinal mark in middle of 

 disc, sharply margined above and in front, beneath bordered by 

 a small dark fuscous blotch ; from its posterior extremity proceed 

 two irregular obscure blackish lines to costa between middle and 

 three-fourths, enclosing a suffused fuscous blotch, and a sharper 

 black waved line to anal angle, anteriorly margined with fuscous : 

 cilia fuscous mixed with whitish. Hind wings grey, darker 

 towards apex, and indistinctly mottled with darker ; cilia grey, 

 with a darker basal line.

 It differs from the female of all other species in the genus by the 

 comparative shortness and breadth of the forewings, and the 

 strength and conspicuousness of the longitudinal black discal 

 streak. 



I took one specimen in the bush-clad ranges near Toowoomba, 

 Queensland, about 2,000 feet above the sea, in September.
