moderate, costa moderately arid evenly arched, apex obtuse, 

 hindmargin straight, moderately oblique ; light ochreous, rather 

 thickly but irregularly irrorated with light reddish-fuscous scales, 

 especially immediately beneath the median streak and along 

 hindmargin ; costal edge suffusedly dark fuscous ; a straight 

 longitudinal ochreous-white streak a little above middle from 

 base to hindmargin beneath apex, tolerably broad in middle, 

 attenuated to both extremities, lower margin tolerably well- 

 defined, upper margin very suffused and indistinct ; cilia fuscous- 

 grey, with whitish points. Hind wings fuscous-grey, slightly 

 purplish tinged ; a dark grey hindmarginal line : cilia whitish 

 grey, with a darker grey line near base. 



The ochreous-white median streak distinguishes this species 

 from all others. 



One specimen taken at Brisbane in September, in a dry grassy 

 place.

 species are all rather inconspicuous grey insects, with notably 

 transparent hindwings.
