marginal line fuscous-ochreous : cilia fuscous-grey, with a median

(J9. 16-22 mm. Head light ochreous-fuscous, in some specimens 

 ferrous-fuscous on crown. Palpi ferrous-fuscous. Antennae 

 ochreous to ferrous-fuscous. Thorax ochreous-fuscous, in some 

 specimens stained with ferrous-fuscous or sanguineous. Abdomen 

 ochreous-fuscous, in some specimens ferrous-fuscous anteriorly. 

 Forewings elongate-obovate, costa gently rounded, hindmargin 

 rounded, thinly scaled toward inner margin, so much so as to form 

 a conspicuous semi-hyaline arch, ochreous-fuscous ; this is arched 

 over by a ferrous-fuscous or sanguineous band which covers basal 

 third of inner margin, base of wing, costal band to | and thence 

 as an oblique band to anal angle ; a very dark blotch resembling 

 a dried blood stain from inner margin just before J, more or less 

 obliquely to near, but not touching, costal band ; a dark blotch 

 from anal angle more or less diffused to costa at 4 ; a small dark 

 discal spot near costal band at | ; in some specimens the veins are 

 dark ferrous-fuscous ; hindmarginal line ferrous-fuscous : cilia 

 pearly-ochreous. Hindwings hyaline, with a hindmarginal narrow 

 line of ferrous-fuscous ; cilia as in forewings. 



Brisbane ; at electric light ; very rare. 



This species is very variable, chiefly a light form and a dark 

 form according to the development of the ferrous-fuscous scales. 

 It has the appearance on the dark type variety of being smudged 

 with dried up blood stains.
