184 RKVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIUOPTERA HYPSIDAp:. ANTIIELIDAE, 



^vardly curved, suli-basal line sometimes faintly indicated; a fuscous discal dot 

 beneath costa just before middle, and a larger spot just beyond middle, fuscous, 

 the second or both with pale centre; a faint, obliiiuc, nearly straight line from 

 J costa to 3 doi-sum; a slightly wavy, outwardly curved line beyond this, some- 

 times reduced to dots on veins; cilia concolorous. Hindwings rather long, termen 

 only slightly rounded; 6 and 7 connate, 11 absent; as forewings, but with only 

 one discal spot, and without postmedian line. Underside similar, but both 

 wings without postmedian line, hindwings sometimes with two discal dots. 



The type is a reddish ? from Mt. Kosciusko, not unlike A. ferrur/inosa 

 but larger, and readily distinguished by the two discal dots. Mr. Lyell hiis an- 

 other ?, difterently coloured, but probably the same species.
