318 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, XVIII., 



Rosewood, Queensland; Bulli and Broken Hill, Kew South 

 Wales; Adelaide, Wirrabara, Quorn, Wallaroo, and Port Lincoln? 

 South Australia; Geraldton and Carnarvon, West Australia; 

 from October to December, and in May, thirty specimens. The 

 geographical range is rather curious; although an inconspicuous 

 insect and apparently somewhat local, it generally occurs in great 

 abundance and is not likely to be overlooked; most of the 

 localities are dry regions, but this is not the case with Rosewood 

 and Bulli. It is readily recognised by the fuscous colouring and 

 the ferruginous scales accompanying the dark markings; Broken 

 Hill specimens average distinctly larger than others.
