This species may be distinguished from varia by the wliitish head and palpi, 

 the ? also by the forewings not subfalcate at apex. Walker's 6' is said to be 

 from "between Sydney and Moreton Bay," the ? type simply from "Australia."

(S. 58 — 73 mm. ?. 80 — 92 mm. Head yellow or pale-grey. Palpi li; 

 pale-grey. Antennae yellow; pectinations grey. Thorax and abdomen yellow 

 or pale-gi-ey. Legs grey; coxae and femora yellow. Forewings triangular, 

 costa straight to |, thence gently arched, apex tolerably pointed, 

 termen nearly straight, slightly oblique; yellow or pale-grey; fuscous (rarely 

 reddish) discal dots at -5 and middle, the former sometimes obsolete; the latter 

 larger; sometimes an irregularly dentate antemedian line, but usually none; 

 occasionally a nearly straight postmedian line pale-fuscous or reddish edged 

 with yellow, but usually none ; sometimes a crenulate, fuscous, subterminal line, 

 which may be reduced to dots on veins; cilia usually yellow, rarely pale-grey. 

 Hindwings with termen gently rounded; 6 and 7 connate or stalked, 11 present; 

 as forewings, but without discal dots. Underside similar, but with two discal 

 dots on both winged, nut pale-centred. 



The c? exists in two colours, either yellow or pale-gTey, the S I have only 

 seen of the latter colour. Grey specimens have the cilia usually yellow, rarely 

 concolorous. The transverse lines may be strongly marked or wholly obsolete.

d". 45 — 55 mm. ?. 56 — 76 mm. Head and palpi fuscous-brown. An- 

 tennae brown-whitish, pectinations fuscous-brown. Thorax, abdomen, and legs 

 fuscous-brown. Forewing-s triangular, costa nearly straight, apex acut-e, slightly 

 produced, termen strongly bowed, slightly oblique; brown, in d" often reddish 

 brown, with more or less fuscous irroration; two discal spots beneath costa 

 before and after middle, whitish in centre; a slender crenulate fuscous line from 

 I costa to I dorsum, edged posteriorly by a pale line; a subterminal fuscous line 

 or series of dots, edged posteriorly by a pale line; cilia brown, apices paler. 

 Hindwings with termen slightly rounded, tornus somewliat produced; 6 and 

 7 connate or stalked, 11 feebly developed or absent; colour and markings as fore- 

 wing's, but without discal spots. Underside similar, but less distinctly marked ; 

 one or two discal dots on hindwings. 



More dusky than acuta, from which it differs in the postmedian line 

 of forewings being crenulate and not angled beneath costa; and the antennae 

 not ochreous. It also resembles nicothoe, but is a smaller sj^ecies with the apex
