d. 42 — 50 umi. Head, thorax, and abdomen reddish-brown or ochreous- 

 brown. Palpi 21 ; reddish- or ochreous-browu. Antennae reddish- or ochreous- 

 brown; pectinations fuscous. Legs reddish- or oehreous-brown. Forewings 

 triangular, costa straight to near apex, apex pointed, termen slightly bowed, 

 slightly oblique; reddish-brown, oehreous-brown, or pale-pink; two white discal 

 spots edged with fuscous; first beneath costa at ^, second beneath costa slightly 

 beyond middle; rarely the basal spot is not developed; cilia coneolorous. Hind- 

 wings with termen more or less rounded; 6 and 7 connate or stalked, 11 pre.se.nt; 

 as forewing-s, but without discal spots, or with one minute spot only. Underside 

 similar, but discal spots on forewing may be obsolete; spot on hindwing better 

 developed, and rarely preceded by a smaller spot. 



N. QUI: Stannary Hills, near Herberton; Qld. : Rockhampton, Duaringa, 

 Emerald, Gayndah, Charleville; N.S. Wales: Broken Hill; S. Aust. : Beltana. 



Meyi'iek's type is said to be from Melbourne, but I doubt whether this is 

 correct ; the species, however, probably occurs in the north-west of Victoria.
