central fascia ; central fascia narrow, oblique, from before middle 

 of costa to beyond middle of inner margin, in male blackish, in 

 female cinereous-grey, partially obsolete above middle, margins 

 rather irregular ; a small cloudy triangular patch on costa at 

 two-thirds, in male blackish-grey, in female cinereous- grey ; two 

 or three small transverse streaks of cinereous or blackish scales 

 near hindmargin and above anal angle : cilia whitish, with a 

 faint dark grey line. Hindwings whitish-grey, darker posteriorly ; 

 cilia whitish, with a grey line near base. 



In form of wing this species approximates to C. responsana and 

 C. postvittana, but differs structurally from them in the character 

 of the costal fold, which is strong and extends from the base 

 fully to the middle of costa. The whitish-grey groundcolour 

 distinguishes it from all its nearest allies ; C. lythrodana is also a 

 purely grey insect, but has totally different and more sharply 

 defined markings. The female is very different in appearance 

 from the male, and has more the superficial features of a Terns. 



Very common at Sydney, of sluggish habit and usually taken 

 at rest on fences ; it occurs from August continuously to May, 

 being absent only during the two winter months of June and 

 July ; I also took a specimen near Wollongong, New South 

 Wales, and one of Walker's types ts said to be from Moreton 

 Bay, Queensland, but at Sydney it appears to be a garden insect.
