 dots from inner margin at f toward centre of wing, a line from | 

 costa to anal angle of hind margin broken up into dots in hind- 

 marginal half, a blotch just before apex of costa, in a line with a 

 series of three or four dots to centre of hindmargin ; cilia as fore- 

 wings. 



Birpengarry, Brisbane ; six specimens taken by Dr. T. L.

The difference in the markings, the purple suffusion, and the 

 smaller size readily distinguish this from C. punctiferalis or var. 

 jocata.
