Kaynor from a larva feeding on Hakea ; the larva is stated by 

 Guenee, however, to feed on Acacia (perhaps in error), and is 

 described as being 12-legged, with a horn on third segment and 

 two tubercles on eleventh. 



75. Mo7i. digglesaria, Gn. 



(Monoctenia digglesaria, Gn., Ann. Soc. Fr. IV. [4 ser.], 15.) 

 55 mm. Wings crenulate ; fore wings acute, subfalcate, hind- 

 margin strongly bowed; hind wings strongly bent in middle, form- 

 ing a more prominent tooth, and another at anal angle ; all wings 

 rosy-^rey ; a common rosy-whitish line from apex of fore wings to 

 J of inner margin of hind wings, followed by a darker shade, and 

 preceded by small darker dots on veins ; a series of darker dots 

 representing first line ; a darker median shade, hardly traceable on 

 forewings, but straight and well-marked on hindwings. Forewings 

 beneath with a large deep brown spot towards inner margin. 



Locality given only as Australia. The above diagnosis is drawn 

 from Guenee's description ; I have seen no insect agreeing with it ; 

 it appears to indicate a good and distinct species.

 except on costa, where they form slender short dark fuscous marks 

 at J and f, and a larger oblique cloudy fuscous mark in middle, 

 containing a transverse-linear transparent mark in its apex, and 

 indicating an angulated median shade : cilia fuscous-whitish, more
