500 DESCEIPTIOiiS OF ArSTBALIAN MICBO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



second joint whitish towards base, terminal joint whitish 

 posteriorly. Antennae ochreous- whitish, sharply annulated above 

 with dark fuscous. Abdomen whitish-ochreous. Anterior tibiae 

 and tarsi rather light reddish-fuscous, tarsal joints obscurely 

 whitish at apex, dark grey at base ; middle and posterior legs 

 ochreous- whitish, middle tarsi grey with whitish rings at apex of 

 joints ; femora white beneath. Forewings moderately broad, 

 rather dilated posteriorly, costa moderately arched, more strongly 

 at base, apex obtuse, hindmargin straight or faintly sinuate, 

 hardly oblique ; light pinkish-grey, somewhat ochreous-tinged ; 

 costal edge pale pinkish, tips of scales whitish ; a dark grey dot 

 in disc before middle, a distinctly double one in disc beyond 

 middle, and a third obliquely beyond first on fold ; a very 

 irregularly dentate ill-defined cloudy dark grey transverse line 

 from "I of costa to middle of inner margin, a second between this 

 and base, and a third more obsolete near base, all sometimes 

 partially obsolete ; a tolerably well-defined transverse row of dark 

 grey crescentic marks, almost connected, from middle of costa 

 very obliquely outwards to disc at e, thence shar^^ly bent and 

 nearly parallel to hindmargin, ending on inner margin before 

 anal angle ; a row of cloudy dark grey dots along hindmargin 

 and apical third of costa : cilia pinkish mixed with w^hitish-grey, 

 towards tips whitish. Hindwings ochreous-grey, darker grey 

 posteriorly, becoming whitish-grey-ochreous towards base ; cilia 

 whitish-grey, towards anal angle whitish-ochreous. 



Very near the preceding, yet easily separated by the distinct 

 ochreous suffusion of the hindwings, the brighter forewings with 

 more distinct transverse lines, and the antennae sharply annulated. 



Eather common round Melbourne, and on the Mount Lofty 

 Eange, South Australia; also once taken near Sydney in
