line, marked in ^ with black dots on veins, and closely followed 

 by a series of cloudy blackish dots ; a hindmarginal series of black 

 dots : cilia whitish-ochreous, basal half in 9 irrorated with dark 

 fuscous. Hindwings with hindraargin rounded ; pale whitish- 

 ochreous, irrorated with fuscous and blackish ; a short double dark 

 fuscous line rising from inner margin at | ; hindmarginal dots 

 and cilia as in forewings. 



Sydney and Bathurst (2500 feet), New South Wales, in October 

 and November ; common. Distinguished from all others by the 

 small dark pale-centered spot replacing the usual discal dot of 

 forewings. 



3. Tax. or aula, n.sp. 



(J. 21-22 mm. Head grey-whitish, face dark fuscous. Palpi 

 IJ, dark fuscous. Antennae grey-whitish. Thorax and abdomen 

 whitish-grey. Legs grey, posterior tibiae grey- whitish. Forewings 

 triangular, hindmargin straight above, rounded beneath ; 12 free; 

 pale grey, sprinkled with dark fuscous ; a short dark fuscous mark 

 on costa at |, one on inner margin at I, and a dot in disc directly 

 between these ; a minute dark fuscous dot in disc above middle ; 

 a dark fuscous mark on costa at | ; a series of dark fuscous dots 

 from near beyond lower extremity of this to | of inner margin, 

 rather strongly sinuate inwards on lower half, the whole sometimes 

 connected by a fine denticulate dark fuscous line, acutely angulated 

 at upper extremity to connect with costal mark ; a very faintly 

 indicated paler waved subterminal line ; a hindmarginal series of 

 black dots : cilia pale grey. Hindwings with hindmargin rounded ; 

 pale grey; a short indistinct dark fuscous erect line from | of 

 inner margin ; a hindmarginal series of dark fuscous dots ; cilia 

 pale grey. 



Mount Kosciusko (5000-5800 feet). New South Wales, in 

 January ; two specimens. Besides the neural character, it differs 

 from all the other similar species with dark fuscous palpi, except 

 T. egenata, in not having the sharply-defined white basal area of 

 palpi ; from T. egenata it is readily separated by the smaller size, 

 straight upper portion of hindmargin of forewings, dark fuscous 

 costal marks, absence of subterminal spots, and other details.
