Since publishing my description, I have obtained two females 

 at light at Parramatta in October. This sex differs from the 

 male in having the white dorsal blotch of the fore-wings much 

 suffused with black, and the hind-wings blackish-grey, with 

 ochreous cilia, without any continuation of the dorsal blotch of 

 fore-wings over their surface ; in all other respects the sexes are 

 similar in colouring.

8"-lH-". £ ?. Head carmine-pink, thinly mixed with whitish- 

 ochreous. Palpi more than two and a half times as long as head, 

 horizontally porrected, carmine-pink, mixed with whitish above

 with carmine anteriorly, in male rather strongly sinuate above 

 base. Thorax carmine-pink, mixed with whitish posteriorly. 

 Abdomen elongate, whitish-ochreous. Legs whitish-ochreous. 

 Fore-wings elongate, moderately narrow, costa slightly arched,

 however lias suberect palpi. Three specimens (one male, two 

 females) sent from Duaringa, Queensland, by Mr. G. Barnard.
