indented in middle ; a small transverse spot outlined with blackish 

 in disc above middle ; second line obscurely whitish, from | of 

 costa to I of inner margin, margined anteriorly with a series of 

 small triangular blackish spots, sometimes confluent into a more 

 or less thick black shade, rather sharply angulated outwards in 

 middle, sinuate inwards above middle and more deeply on lower 

 half, central angle marked with a small more or less distinct 

 reddish-ochreous spot ; subterminal cloudy, whitish, subdentate, 

 rather irregular, anteriorly margined by a more or less distinct 

 dark grey or blackish shade ; a hindmarginal series of triangular 

 black dots : cilia fuscous- whitish, with obscure fuscous bars, and a 

 somewhat interrupted cloudy dark fuscous median line. Hind- 

 wings with hindmargin rounded ; fuscous, posteriorly darker ; a 

 faint darker discal mark ; cilia fuscous, terminal half fuscous-

Geraldton, West Australia ; in November and December, 

 common ; a variable species. Larva 10-legged, cylindrical ; bright 

 green ; spiracular line and segmental incisions pale yellowish, 

 partly marked with white ; a series of oblique white marks on 

 sides meeting on back : feeds in November on a Myrtaceous shrub 

 of which I failed to obtain the name, resembling Leptospermum in 

 habit, with small diamond-shaped leaves crowded and appressed to 

 stem in long shoots : pupa in a slight cocoon. The above larval 

 description is incomplete ; the larva is marked and coloured in 

 beautiful imitation of the leafy stems of its food plant, the oblique 

 white lateral lines expressing the outlines of the small crowded 

 stem-clasping leaves.
