(^. 22-2^^ mm. Head and thorax whitish- grey, slightly 

 ochreous- tinged. Palpi whitish, second joint with a blackish 

 median band, base of terminal joint blackish. Antennae f>-reY. 

 Abdomen whitish- grey. Anterior tibiae dark fuscous mixed with 

 ochreous, tarsi dark fuscous, two basal joints with whitish apical 

 rings ; middle tibiae greyish- ochreous, tarsi dark grey with whitish 

 rings at apex of joints ; posterior tibiae and tarsi ochreous- whitish. 

 Forewings moderately broad, somewhat dilated posteriorly, costa 

 moderately strongly arched, apex obtuse, hindmargin rather 

 oblique ; uniform whitish-grey, faintly ochreous- tinged ; costal 

 edge whitish ; a minute black dot at base of costa ; a black dot 

 on inner margin near base, and sometimes one or two others in 

 disc towards base ; a black dot in disc before middle, a second in 

 disc beyond middle, a third on fold obliquely beyond first, and a 

 fourth, minute or obsolete, below and beyond second ; a very fine 

 transverse row of dark grey scales, not forming distinct dots, 

 from middle of costa to inner margin before anal angle, irregularly 

 sinuate on upper half and strongly angulated in middle ; a row of 

 conspicuous black dots on hindmargin and apical fifth of costa : 

 cilia ochreous-grey-whitish. Hindwings grey, darker towards 

 apex ; cilia whitish- grey, with a suffused dark grey line near base. 

 Very near the preceding, but larger and lighter, the band of 

 palpi broader, a distinct blackish dot near base of inner margin, 

 which is not found in S. sohriella, the discal dots less distinct, 

 the posterior line composed of numerous minute scales arrano-ed 

 in a fine line and not collected into dots, distinct throughout. 

 The species also has considerable superficial resemblance with 

 Uiil. griseola, but may be immediately distinguished by the dark 

 band of the palpi. 



Two specimens taken at Murrurundi, New South Wales, in 

 November.
