482 DESCEIPTIONS OF AUSTEALIAN MICEO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



This and the two following species are broader-winged than the 



rest of the genus, resembling in form the typical species of 



SopUtica. In simplicity of marking this species approaches H. 



protoxantlia^ but is rosier, and the apical cilia of hindwings are 



not greyish- tinged. 



One specimen received from Mr. E. Gruest, who states that it 

 is a common autumnal species on the Mount Lofty Range, 

 Adelaide.
