$ . 15 mill. Head white, sides of crown with a dark fuscous 

 spot. Palpi white, extreme base of second joint dark fuscous. 

 Antennae dark fuscous. Thorax black, a posterior spot and a 

 small spot on each side white. Abdomen reddish-brown, lateral 

 margins pale ochreous, posterior margins of segments silvery- grey. 

 Anterior and middle tibiae dark fuscous-grey, tarsi grey- whitish ; 

 posterior tibiae and tarsi whitish-yellow. Forewings somewhat 

 narrow, costa moderately arched, apex rounded, hindmargin very 

 obliquely rounded ; clear white ; a small very narrow linear black 

 spot at base of wing, extending from costa to inner margin ; a 

 deep reddish-ochreous moderately broad transverse fascia, extend- 

 ing from f of costa to middle of inner margin, considerably 

 dilated beneath, anterior edge concave, suff usedly margined with 

 dark fuscous, posterior edge sinuate, well-defined, not margined ; 

 a narrow deep reddish-ochreous fascia from f of costa to anal 

 angle, on costa and inner margin suffused with dark fuscous, 

 anterior edge nearly straight, suffused, posterior edge well-defined, 

 indented above middle ; an ill-defined triangular bright reddish- 

 ochreous patch on upper f of hindmargin, very narrowly separated 

 from the second fascia, confluent above with a suffused blackish 

 apical spot: cilia reddish-ochreous on hindmargin and costa, 

 blackish-fuscous at apex and anal angle. Hindwings dark grey, 

 somewhat lighter at base ; cilia whitish-ochreous, mixed with grey 

 round apex. 



A very handsome species, in markings approaching Zo;l decisana 

 but (apart from structural differences) much narrower- winged, 

 with the first fascia reddish-ochreous instead of blackish-fuscous 

 and the hindwings wholly grey. 



Two specimens taken at Parramatta in October.
