800 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



fuscous, posterior pair whitisli-ochreous. Forewings rather elon- 

 gate-triangular, costa gently arched, with a fringe of long projecting 

 hairs on anterior half and a ridge of erect curled hairs on posterior 

 half ; vein 5 absent ; whitish-ochreous, sutfusedly and irregularly 

 irrorated with reddish-fuscous and a few black scales ; anterior 

 edge of median band indicated by a row of blackish marks running 

 from I of costa to ^ of inner margin, acutely angulated above 

 middle, space ^between this and base sometimes suffused with 

 daiker reddish-fuscous mixed with black and produced as a thick 

 streak above middle of disc to hindmargin ; posterior margin of 

 median band formed by a well-marked reddish-fuscous line marked 

 with black on veins, running from | of costa to before ^ of inner 

 margin, shortly indented beneath costa, with some white scales in 

 indentation, rather acutely angulated above middle ; lower half 

 of median band sometimes without reddish irroration ; a blackish 

 hindmarginal line : cilia whitish-ochreous, mixed with light 

 fuscous-reddish. Hindwings with hindmargin unevenly rounded, 

 crenulate, concave towards middle ; pale whitish-ochreous, towards 

 inner margin marked with short waved fuscous-reddish lines, and 

 a short reddish streak marked with black beyond middle, reaching 

 ^ across wing ; hindmarginal line and cilia as in forewings. 



9- 19-22 mm. Forewings with costa gently arched; whitish- 

 ochi-eous, more whitish in disc, with numerous curved waved 

 cloudy reddish-fuscous lines, partially marked with black on veins; 

 basal I sometimes much suffused with blackish ; posterior edge of 

 median band well-marked by a series of small black wedge-shaped 

 spots on veins, from before § of costa to before § of inner margin, 

 obtusely angulated near costa and again more sharply in middle ; 

 an interrupted black hindmarginal line : cilia light i-eddish-fuscous, 

 basal half barred with whitish-ochreous. Hindwings Math colour 

 and markings as in forewings, but lines obsolete near costa. 



Newcastle and Sydney, New South Wales ; Melbourne, Victoria ; 

 Georges Bay, Tasmania ; in October and December, five specimens. 

 I am not absolutely certain that these very dissimilar sexes are 

 rightly referred together, but it seems highly probable.
