430 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



with tlio indications of a basal patch ; central fascia irregular, 

 very oblique, running from costa slightly before middle to anal 

 angle, moderately broad, contracted below costa, ochreous-brown 

 or reddish-oehreous, mixed with dark fuscous on inner margin, 

 its anterior edge distinct, angulated below middle, posterior 

 edge suffused except on costa ; apex within a very oblique line 

 from two-thirds of costa to middle of hiudmargin ochreous-brown 

 mixed with paler towards hiudmargin ; cilia ochreous- whitish. 

 Hindwings whitish, tinged with ochrcous posteriorly. 



$ . 10"- 11". Head, palpi, and thorax brownish-ochreous. 

 Antenna) pale ochreous, obscurely annulated with fuscous. 

 Abdomen pale ochreous. Forewings longer than in male, hind- 

 margin rather sinuate beneath apex ; pale brownish-ochreous, 

 thickly irrorated with darker, with ochreous-brown markings 

 similar to those of male, but almost wholly suffused and very 

 indistinct except on costa and inner margin : cilia ochreous-browu 

 at apex, becoming whitish-ochreous at anal angle. Hindwings 

 whitish-yellow, becoming deeper yellow posteriorly ; cilia yellow - 

 whitish. 



This species has a strong superficial resemblance to some of 

 the typical species of Cacxcia and Pandemia, and the sexual 

 differences are similar to those which commonly occur in those 

 genera, but the type of neuration is wholly different. 



I took four specimens (two males, two females) in the dense 

 subtropical scrubs near llosewood, Queensland, in September ; 

 they were beaten out of the thick vegetation characteristic of the 

 volcanic soil in those districts.
