Easily known by its large size, very elongate forewings (of 

 which the costa is still strongly arched) and cloudy longitudinal 

 suffusion. 



I took four specimens (two males, and two females) amongst 

 dry bush at Sydney and Parramatta in the very early spring 

 months, July and August ; they appeared very sluggish and 

 inactive. 



11. Tort, concordana, n. sp, 



$ ? . 6|"-8". Head, palpi, and thorax whitish-grey. Antennte 

 whitish, slenderly annulated with dark fuscous. Abdomen 

 whitish-grey, sides and anal tuft whitish-ochreous. Legs whitish, 

 anterior and middle tarsi and tibia) suffused with dark fuscous 

 above. Forewings moderate, in female rather more elongate, 

 costa rather strongly arched, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; 

 whitish-grey, very faintly ochreous-tinged, in one female with 

 small scattered ochreous spots towards inner margin ; sometimes 

 a few scattered blackish scales towards hindmargin : cilia whitish- 

 ochreous, extremities paler. Hindwings whitish or whitish-grey, 

 slightly darker posteriorly ; cilia whitish, faintly ochreous-tinged 

 round apex. 



Characterised by the unicolorous whitish-grey forewings ; very 

 closely allied to T. indigestana, but the forewings are shorter and 

 broader (especially in male), the groundcolour is lighter, glossier, 

 and slightly ochreous-tinged, especially in cilia, there are at most 

 only a few scattered black scales posteriorly, and there is no 

 reddish cliscal suffusion. 



Larva rather stout, posteriorly somewhat attenuated, with a 

 few whitish hairs ; dull grey-green, slightly brownish tinged, 

 spots hardly paler ; head and second segment black, very glossy ; 

 anal segment ochreous. Feeds in spun-up shoots, or amongst 

 several cylindrically-united leaves of Hibbertia linearis and S. 

 fasciculata (Dilleniacecu); these larvee were found in July, and the 

 imagos emerged in August.
