500 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTEKA, 



fuscous spot on inner margin at one-third, sometimes obsolete ; 

 central fascia oblique, from costa before middle to inner margin 

 at two-thirds, ochreous-fuscous, darker fuscous on costa and 

 inner margin, narrow on costa, gradually but not strongly dilated, 

 margins rather irregular ; an obscure fuscous triangular spot on 

 costa at two-thirds, from apex of which proceeds a slender cloudy 

 fuscous line to anal augle : cilia pale brownish-ochreous, with a 

 dark fuscous-grey basal line. Hindwings whitish-grey, towards 

 apex suffused with ochreous, spotted with darker grey ; cilia 

 ochreous-white, with a dark grey line near base. 



In the absence of the male, it cannot be affirmed with certainty 

 to which section of the genus this species is most nearly related ; 

 in shape of wing it resembles C. pohjgraphana, in markings G. 

 mnemosynana ; the sinuation of the hindmargin distinguishes it 

 from the species which follow. The specimens obtained show 

 no variation. 



Mr. G. H. Eaynor bred six specimens (all females) of this 

 species from larvpo (undescribed) which he found feeding on a 

 plant of the Composites " resembling Senecio ? ' in pasture-fields on 

 the hills near Murrurundi, New South Wales, in September ; the 

 imagos emerged in October.
