9. Porthesia fijibriata. 



Teara fimhriata. Luc Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, 1891, p. 285: Porthesia fm- 

 briata. Turn., Trans. Roy. Soc. S. Aust., xxvi., 1902, p. 176. 



The primary character given in the tabulation suffices to distinguish only 

 the typical form of the c?. There is another form nearly as common, which has 

 the forewings wholly ochreous. This can be distinguished from .luthoptera by 

 the forewings being proportionately broader, with less oblique termen . The ? is 

 whitish, has narrower forewing-s, and can scarcely be distinguished from gatac- 



topis.
