^ . 21-25 mm. Head and thorax pinkish-oclireous, face lighter, 

 whitish beneath. Palpi carmine-pink, second joint towards base 

 whitish, terminal joint posteriorly whitish. Antennae whitish- 

 grev, near base suffused with rosy. Abdomen ochreous- whitish, 

 anal tuft more ochreous. Anterior tibiae and tarsi carmine-pink ; 

 middle tibiae rosy- whitish, tarsi carmine-pink with obscure whitish 

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

 wings moderately broad, rather dilated posteriorly, costa 

 moderately arched, more strongly towards base, apex obtuse, 

 hindmargin almost straight, hardly oblique ; light pinkish-ochreous 

 sometimes strongly pinkish-tinged ; costa narrowly carmine-pink, 

 extreme tips of scales whitish ; a dark fuscous dot in disc before 

 middle, and another very obliquely beyond it on fold ; a small 

 round dark fuscous spot in disc beyond middle, variable in size, 

 its centre suffused with whitish-blue scales ; a tolerably distinct 

 transverse row of dark fuscous somewhat crescentic dots, from 

 middle of costa very obliquely outwards to disc at ^, thence sharply 

 bent and nearly parallel to hindmargin, ending on inner margin 

 before anal angle, sometimes partially obsolete ; cilia pink, towards 

 tips w^hite. Hindwings whitish, towards apex and hindmargin 

 rather strongly rosy-suffused ; cilia whitish. 



A beautiful species, differing from all in the rosy suffusion of 

 the hindwings, and the enlargement of the posterior discal dot. 



Not uncommon and widely distributed ; taken near Sydney, 

 Brisbane, and on the Mount Lofty Eange, South Australia, in 

 November and from January to March.
