Hah. — Dandenong, Vic. (in sweeping low scrub; C. French, 

 Junr.): Rylestone, N.S.W. (W. W. Froggatt). 



Five specimens were sent from Victoria, captured on the 28th 

 of October, when sweeping w^ith a net. I collected four speci- 

 mens in the same manner about the same time of year. This 

 species in general form of wings and coloration comes near R. 

 marmorata from the Blue Mountains, but, among other differences, 

 has very short antenna?, whereas M. niannorata has extra long 

 ones.
