times wholly reddish-ochreous ; a dark reddish-ochreous streak 

 along submedian fold from base to middle ; a black dot on disc 

 at two-thirds ; a straight dark reddish-ochreous streak, posteriorly- 

 darker and sharply defined, from apex to just before anal angle, 

 and amore slenderdark reddish-ochreous streak along hindmargin 

 from apex to below middle : cilia whitish, irrorated with grey, 

 with a dark grey line near base. Hindwings whitish-grey ; cilia 

 whitish-grey, with a dark grey line near base. 



Always recognisable by the distinct dark reddish-ochreous lines 

 on the grey-whitish forewings ; variable in size, but always 

 considerably larger and rather broader-winged than the three 

 following species ; the palpi are also comparatively longer. 



Larva stout, cylindrical ; rather dull uniform carmine-pink ; 

 head black. Feeds in the flower-cones of Banhsia serrata (Pro- 

 tectees), burrowing through the substance of the cone whilst the 

 seeds are forming. Larvee found in July and August emerged 

 in October, and others found in January emerged in February. 



Rather common at Sydney and Parramatta, and at Blackheath 

 on the Blue Mountains (3,600 feet), from October to December, 

 and in February ; the imago is inactive, and when beaten out 

 usually flies straight to the ground.
