Fore-wings elongate, narrow, slightly dilated, hind-margin 

 slightly oblique, rounded beneath ; brownish-ochreous, irregularly 

 and densely mixed with blackish, and with a few whitish-ochreous 

 or whitish scales, and suffused in irregular patches, except along 

 costa, with ochreous-orange or dull carmine; a short black basal 

 streak on inner-margin ; first line broad, whitish, cloudy, from I 

 of costa obliquely outwards, angulated inwards on disc, then 

 outwards on fold, thence to inner margin at two-fifths, borden <1 

 externally throughout by a broad cloudy blackish fascia ; second 

 line narrow, whitish, waved, from five-sixths of costa to anal 

 angle, sending a strong blunt angulation inwards below costa, 

 and a short acute one just above anal angle, margined throughout 

 on both sides with blackish, most strongly internally ; two round 

 black dots on disc at f , above middle, the upper one nearer base ; 

 hind-marginal line black, interrupted on veins ; cilia ochreous at 

 base, becoming pale grey. Hindwings pale grey, slightly darker 

 posteriorly ; hind-marginal line clear, dark fuscous ; cilia whitish- 

 grey, tinged with ochreous, with indistinct darker grey parting- 

 line. 



This is at present the only Australian representative of the 

 genus, the other species originally referred to Myelois being more 

 correctly placed elsewhere ; it is narrower- winged than the typical 

 European forms. 



One pair taken at Sydney and Parramatta in Octobeiythe male 

 at light, the female at rest on a fence.
