terminal joint exposed. Forewings elongate-oblong, costa rather 

 strongly arched towards base, in male simple, apex nearly 

 rectangular, hindmargin obliquely rounded beneath. Hind wings 

 rounded-trapezoidal, as broad as forewings. Forewings with 11 

 veins, all separate ; vein 6 to hindmargin, 7 to costa. Hindwings 

 with veins 3 and 4 remote at origin, 5 approximated to 4 at base, 

 G and 7 stalked. 



Distinguishable by the possession of only 11 veins in the 

 forewings, the normal veins 7 and 8 being no doubt coincident. 

 In the American Amorbia, Clem., ( ' Hendecastema, Wlsm.y the 

 male also has only 11 veins (the female has 12), but that genus 

 belongs to a different group, in which veins 3 and 4 of hindwings 

 rise from the same point, and differs besides in other characters.

This species has a rather glossy appearance, and is almost 

 unicolorous. 



I received specimens of this species from Mr. G-. H. Eaynor, 

 who took it not uncommonly at Deloraine in Tasmania, in 

 December, and at Murrurundi and Waratah on the Hunter 

 River, New South Wales, late in September, amongst mixed scrub.
