192 DESCEIPTIOXS OF ATJSTElLIiX MICUO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



pale brassy-ochreous, irregularly mixed witk ochreous-bronze ; 

 all markings broadly and suff usedly margined with, dark f ascous ; 

 two similar straight oblique transverse quadrilateral white spots 

 on inner margin, first near base, second in middle, suffusedly 

 truncate above, reacMng about half across wing ; seven oblique 

 white streaks from costa, first broadest, nearly reaching apex ot 

 second dorsal spot, next four all short, narrow, reaching abouf 

 one-third across wing, last two very short, close together before 

 apex ; about five small ill-defined shining white, slightly violet- 

 metallic spots irregularly placed in disc beyond middle, mixed 

 with a few black scales, a sixth on inner margin a little before 

 anal angle, a seventh on anal angle, two others near hindniargln 

 below middle, a tenth towards hindmargin above middle, an 

 eleventh on bindmarginal indentation, and a twelfth below apex, 

 adjoining a small roundish black apical spot : cilia on hindmargin 

 white, basal third scaled with brassy-ochreous and separated by 

 a black line, with a deep wbite triangular indentation below apex ; 

 cilia on anal angle grey, with a white spot before anal angle; 

 costal cilia dark grey, with, white spots on costal streaks, and a 

 blackish-fuscous spot above apex, lower edge sharply defined, 

 forming a short incomplete apical hook. Hind wings rather dark 

 grey, cilia ratber lighter. 



Belongs to the group characterised by the possession of two 

 pale dorsal spots which do not give rise to metallic transverse 

 lines ; in this group it is intermediate between G. meteor a, Meyr., 

 and G. leucocerastes, Meyr., differing from the former by the first 

 dorsal spot reaching only half across wing, and from the latter 

 by both dorsal spots being obtusely truncate, not attenuated ; it 

 is further distinguished amongst the whole group by the number 

 of the posterior metallic spots. 



Two specimens taken in a damp place about 3,000 feet up 

 Mount Wellington, Tasmania, early in February. This species 

 has veins 7 and 8 of the forewings stalked, a character which 

 recurs in two or three other species which are not specially allied
