(Jc^. 30-33 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax rather dark fuscous 

 mixed with whitish ; palpi 2^. Antennee dark grey, in ^ 

 subdentate, ciliations §. Forewings triangular, hind margin

 what mixed with ochreous, and irrorated with blackish, which 

 forms numerous irregular waved transverse lines ; an obscure 

 slightly curved whitish line about I ; median band sometimes 

 rather darker, somewhat marked with black on margins, forming 

 wedge-shaped spots on veins, limited by waved whitish lines, anterior 

 edge from before ? of costa to before middle of inner margin, 

 slightly concave, indented below middle, posterior edge from | of 

 costa to I of inner margin, somewhat curved outwards beneath 

 costa, and forming a broad rather short flatly bidentate projection 

 about middle ; a small transverse black median discal spot, 

 surrounding space irrorated with whitish ; beyond posterior edge 

 of band are one or two similar suffused whitish lines ; subtei*minal 

 whitish, evenly waved, preceded by a darker shade ; a short 

 slender oblique whitish streak from apex ; a black hindmarginal 

 line : cilia fuscous, base and a median line sprinkled with whitish, 

 with faint darker bars. Hindwings with hindmargin rounded, 

 strongly waved ; pale fuscous, slightly ochreous-tinged ; numerous 

 faint waved slightly curved fuscous lines, except on basal third,

Duaringa, Queensland ; Bathurst and Mount Kosciusko (4000 

 feet), New South Wales ; Mount Macedon, Victoria ; Launceston, 

 Deloraine, Georges Bay, and Hobart, Tasmania ; Mount Lofty, 

 South Australia ; from December to March, common. As 

 frequently in the genus, the median band is usually considerably 

 broader in the ^ than in the ^, causing a different superficial 

 appearance, but there is no essential difference in the markings.
