 homodoxa Meyr., Trans. Ent. Soc. 1886, p. 208. 



A widely distributed species common everywhere. I regard 

 the two forms described by Mr. Meyrick as varieties, but the type 

 oirecessata Wlk., is a distinct species. I have received specimens 

 identified as homodoxa Meyr., but doubt if they are anything 

 more than a local form. Mr. Meyrick gives length of posterior 

 tarsi in (J as i, but this may be a misprint for i. 



Ab. amathodes. Two male specimens structurally identical 

 with this species, but with wings brownish and markings obsolete. 

 They are from Lance field Junction, Victoria.
