1150 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



scales from f of costa to J of inner margin, curved outwards on 

 upper I ; a subterminal series of small indistinct fuscous spots 

 marked with black scales ; a hindmarginal series of large black 

 dots : cilia whitish. Hind wings with hindmargin rounded ; 

 ochreous-whitish, with scattered blackish scales on lower half ; 

 hindmarginal dots and cilia as in forewings. 



Quorn, South Australia, in October ; one specimen. This is 

 not in very good condition, but is certainly a good species, most 

 resembling the preceding, but well distinguished by the somewhat 

 more elongate wings, smaller size, relatively shorter palpi, sub- 

 terminal spots, and the large size of hindmarginal dots ; from the 

 rest its ochreous-whitish colouring readily separates it. 



12. Tax. isophanes, n.sp. 



(J9. 22-27 mm. Head whitish-grey, forehead whitish-ochreous,

 sutfusedly irrorated with pale greyish-ochreous, with fine scattered 

 black scales ; an indistinct dark fuscous dot on costa at J, a second 

 on inner margin about % and two more distinct in a straight line 

 between these ; a moderate dark f ascous dot in disc above middle ; 

 a fine slightly curved and sinuate cloudy fuscous line from about 

 J of costa to J of inner margin, marked with obscure dark fuscous 

 dots ; a subterminal series of small obscure cloudy dark fuscous 

 spots ; a hindmarginal series of black dots : cilia pale greyish- 

 ochreous, basal half mixed with grey. Hindwings with hind-

Murrurundi (1500 feet). New South Wales ; Melbourne, 

 Victoria ; Mount Lofty, South A ustralia ; in October, four speci- 

 mens. An obscure-looking species, characterised by the dull colour-

 angulated near costa, and presence of subterminal spots.
