lar, anterior edge of terminal joint dark fuscous. Antennae 

 whitish, ringed with fuscous. Thorax whitish-ochreous. Abdomen 

 pale whitish-ochreous. Legs fuscous, apex of joints and hairs of 

 posterior tibiae ochreous- whitish. Forewings long-pointed; pale 

 whitish-ochreous, more or less sprinkled with ochreous or fuscous, 

 especially towards apex; stigmata conspicuous, black, plical very 

 obliquely beyond first discal : cilia pale whitish-ochreous, on costa 

 and termen with basal series of more or less ill-defined blackish dots. 

 Hindwings ochreous-grey-whitish; cilia pale whitish-ochreous. 



Brisbane, Queensland ; Murrurundi, Sydney, and Mittagong, 

 New South Wales; Mount Macedon, Victoria; Launceston and 

 Campbelltown, Tasmania; from September to March, a common 

 species ; seventeen specimens. Very like the preceding, but 

 smaller, with the forewings more acutely pointed, and readily 

 separated by the ochreous-whitish hindwings. In the New Zea- 

 land 31. calamogona, which is at first sight extremely similar, the 

 plical stigma is very obliquely before first discal instead of beyond 

 it, so that it is doubtful whether they are really closely related.
