 obscurely defined oval patch ; an irregular narrow subapical 

 white band from middle of hindmargin nearly to costa before

 barred with dark fuscous and white, remainder greyish-ochreous. 

 . Hindwings pale greyish-ochreous, spotted obscurely with darker, 

 hindmargin narrowly dark ochreous-grey ; cilia whitish-ochreous 

 with an ochreous-grey parting-line.

 species. 



I took five specimens (four males, one female) at rest on a 

 fence during a high wind, near Sydney, in October. Walker's
