by a blackish-fuscous line margined above with white ; from apex 

 of this spot a slightly curved slender blackish-fuscous streak to 

 apex of wing, margined above with white ; hindmargin blackish- 

 fuscous immediately above anal angle : cilia whitish, mixed with 

 pale grey, costal cilia grey. Hindwings elongate, hindmargin 

 sinuate ; light grey ; cilia grey- whitish. 



This and the following species differ from all the rest in the 

 much narrower and more elongate wings ; the tuft of the palpi 

 is very short, yet not shorter than in P. micrastrella and P. 

 semijunctella. This species differs from the following widely in 

 the complex markings of the forewings, and the grey hindwings. 



I have one specimen, taken with two others by Mr. Gr. H. 

 Eaynor near Parramatta in August.

 groundcolour ; below this streak the gi'ound colour is clearer
