or yellowish; pectinations fuscous. Legs fuscous or reddish with whitish irrora- 

 tion; coxae and femora grey or ochreous; apices of femora white. Forewings 

 triangular, costa gently arched, apex acute, termen sinuate, scarcely oblique; 

 grey, whitish-grey, brownish, or ochreous, sometimes with reddish or fuscous 

 discal and terminal blotches and spots, sometimes with fine fuscous irroration; 

 lines fuscous or reddish ; sometimes an outwardly-curved dentate line at i ; a 

 whitish dot nearly always ringed with fuscous beneath costa at J, and another 

 in middle; rarely a curved dentate median line at 4; a nearly straight post- 

 median line from i costa to -| dorsum, sharply bent inwards beneath costa, 

 edged posteriorly by a pale, usually ochreous-tinged line, always present; a 

 subterminal series of dots on veins sometimes united to form a crenulate line; 

 cilia usually concolorous. Hindwings with termen rounded, tornus rather pro- 

 minent; 6 and 7 connate or stalked, 11 present or absent; as forewings, but with 

 only one discal dot, and that not white-centred, or with none. Underside simi- 

 lar, but less strongly marked; hindwings with two discal dots. 



?. 54 — 68 mm. Forewings narrower, costa more strongly arched, apex 

 acute and sometimes slightly produced. 



Southern examples have the wings more or less irrorated with fuscous. 

 The aberration of the d" with blotched wings is common in Southern Queensland 

 and New South Wales. Specimens from North Queensland are rather larger 

 and not so easily disting-uished from varia* An occasional aberration has the 

 discal dots of the forewings large and wholly fuscous on the upperside.

c?- 54 — 60 mm. Head, thorax, and abdomen pale-fuseous. Palpi 2, ter- 

 minal joint rather long; whitish-ochreous ; external surface of second joint 

 fuscous. Antennae whitish; pectinations fuscous. Legs pale-fuscous. Fore- 

 wings triangular, costa slightly arched, apex round-pointed, termen bowed, 

 oblique; pale-fuscous; slightly reddish towards base; veins darker-fuscous; au 

 outwardly-curved whitish line from i costa to j dorsum, posteriorly suffusedly 

 edged with dark-fuscous; a longitudinally oval discal spot beneath i costa, dark 

 fuscous, sometimes with white centre; a second discal spot below middle, circular, 

 dark-fuscous with white centre; a whitish line from t costa, sharply outwardly 

 curved beneath costa, then inwardly oblique to mid-dorsum; a similar line, but 

 less sharply curved, and edged anteriorly with dark-fuscous, from | costa to 

 f dorsum; a strongly crenated whitish line, acutely dentate anteriorly, the 

 apices of dentations touching third line on veins, the rounded crenations pos- 

 teriorly touching termen ; ciliations pale-fuscous. Hindwings with termen slightly 

 rounded ; 6 and 7 stalked, 11 absent ; as forewings, but without first line ; discal 

 dots faint or obsolete. Underside similar, but without first and second line on 

 forewings; second line and discal dots with white centres present in hindwings. 



?. 75 — 78 mm. Forewings with apex more acutely pointed, termen more 

 oblique; first line faintly marked. Hindwings with apex more acute, termen 

 nearly straight.
