dark fuscous. Fore-wings oclireous-fuscous, witli a clear white 

 streak along fold from base to just above anal angle, not touching 

 inner-margin, margined with black above and below at extremity 

 only ; a white elongate spot on hind-margin ; an oblique slender 

 white black margined streak from costa at four-fifths, meeting the 

 white hind-marginal spot ; a second similar streak just before 

 apex ; both these streaks are often quite obsolete ; apical spot 

 irregular, black ; cilia fuscous-grey, with two white posteriorly 

 black margined strigulse above apex. Hind-wings and cilia 

 fuscous-grey. 



Distinguished from its allies by its smaller size, and by the 

 white streak being clearly removed from inner-margin. It also 

 has the peculiar habit of holding its antennae porrected forwards, 

 and somewhat divergent, when at rest. A common species, 

 occurring among dry scrub near Sydney and Parramatta, at BuUi, 

 and at Blackheath on the Blue Mountains (3,500 feet); also at 

 Brisbane. It is generally beaten from Eucalyptus, and I have 

 found a larva mining flat whitish blotches in the leaves of 

 Eucaly2)tus, which I expected to produce it, but have not yet 

 succeeded in rearing.
