white. The outer border of secondaries scalloped, and the 

 nervules terminated in tufts of black hairs ; extremity of fringe 

 white. Thorax and abdomen, above dark brown, beneath dark 

 grey. 



Exp, 41 mm. 



I have specimens of the ^ from W. Australia, Victoria, and

 opposite sex is peculiar by its scarcity ; the only $ specimen I
