438 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICBO-LEI'IDOPTERA, 



irregular, more or less interrupted, blackish longitudinal line 

 from centre of disc to hindmargin above middle, beneath posterior 

 part of which is a slenderer parallel similar line ; a subquadrate 

 dark fuscous blotch below middle of disc, its upper edge parallel 

 to the blackish line, lower edge suffused ; connected with its 

 anterior edge is a short irregular longitudinal dark fuscous mark, 

 and the basal portion of wing is obscurely spotted with fuscous ; 

 a suffused triangular dark fuscous blotch on costa at three-fourths, 

 its apex connected with a roundish dark fuscous blotch before 

 middle of hindmargin ; a small elongate dark fuscous blotch on 

 hindmargin above middle : cilia ochreous-whitish, barred with 

 dark fuscous. Hind wings fuscous-grey, cilia whitish with a grey 

 basal liue. 



Nearly allied to the succeeding A. signigerana, but larger and 

 more ochreous-grey, and without the distinct ochreous discal 

 patch of that species in the male. Walker's type is poor, but 

 appears to be really this species ; his description is inadequate. 



I have two specimens (males) sent by Mr. Gk Barnard from 



Coomooboolaroo, near Duaringa, Northern Queensland ; Walker's 

 specimen is from Moreton Bay, Queensland.
