and tliere are others in the Macleay Museum, which Mr. Masters 

 informs me were taken about Sydney some twenty years ago, 

 when it was comparatively common. It is somewhat smaller 

 than the former species, and of a uniform dull brownish tint, 

 with faint tracings of spots and marks on the fore and hind- 

 wings; and might be compared to a dull-coloured rubbed specimen
