a line from ^ costa to base of dorsum; a line from i costa to ^ 

 dorsum somewhat curved outwards and slightly sinuate; a line 

 from costa before middle obliquely outwards, sharply angled 

 above middle and inwardly curved beneath angle: this line in 

 ^ is sometimes approximated and suffusedly connected with 

 preceding line; a similar line, but with less prominent angle, 

 from I costa to ^ dorsum; in one (J, the whole of the median 

 band is suffused with fuscous; a short, oblique, subapical streak; 

 a whitish, finely dentate, subterminal line preceded by a similar 

 blackish line, two prominent teeth of which interrupt it above 

 middle; cilia grey mixed with whitish. Hindwings with termen 

 rounded ; fuscous-whitish, towards termen fuscous ; two fine 

 fuscous transverse lines, before and beyond middle, the former 

 often obsolete; cilia whitish, with some obscure fuscous bars. 

 Underside whitish, with fuscous irroration ; antemedian and 

 postmedian lines, median discal dot, and terminal band on each 

 wing. 



The (J is slightly variable, the 9 appears constant.

 woomba, in October; Nanango; eight specimees. — N.S.W.: New. 

 castle, one 9 in Coll. Lyell, probably the same species, but with
