of creain-coloured hairs, a small tuft enveloping root of each antenna. 

 Abdomen black, terminal segment and anal tuft of hairs ferru- 

 ginous-brown. Fore wings triangular, dilate, costa rounded at base, 

 thence obliquely straight, apex and hind margin rounded, grey- 

 white, with fuscous markings ; a narrow line extends along costa 

 Irom base to t ; from end of this obliquely to middle of inner 

 margin is the 1st broad bar of fascia ; from just before apex of 

 costa a second rounded bar, symmetrical with hindmargin, spans 

 the wing to i inner margin, beyond this a sub-marginal line ; this 

 is united along veins with 2nd bar by short lines, and forms eight 

 giound-coloured spots between the lines : cilia same colour as 

 markings, fulvous. Hindwings grey-fuscous, with a darker shade 

 bar just before middle of wing, and a 2nd at |, both symmetrical 

 with hindmargin — the latter is edged by a darker line, shot with 

 ferruginous, enclosing eight cream-coloured spots ; cilia cream- 

 colour. 



Q. Head and thorax deep ferruginous-brown. Antennae drab- 

 brown, pectinations J length of those in ^. Forewings ochreous- 

 yellow, dusted freely with chocolate-brown ; markings deep cho- 

 colate-brown ; the brown dustings become a line on costa from 

 J to apex, and they almost become a suffusion in middle of wing 

 from base to first bar of fascia : 1st bar from | costa to J inner 

 margin, 2nd bar from f costa to f inner margin, sub-marginal 

 fine line — between line and 2nd bar are lines separating eight 

 ochreous-yellow spots : cilia chocolate-brown with small ochreous- 

 yellow points. Hindwings and cilia dark fulvous with light ochre- 

 ous-yellow spots near hindmargin, and yellow points in cilia. 



Duaringa, Queensland. 



The sexes of this moth are widely different. They were bred 

 from a batch of caterpillars by Mr. Barnard of Duaringa, after 

 whom I am pleased to name the species.
