faintly oclireous-tinged, finely and irregularly sprinkled with 

 dark grey; a dark grey dot in disc before middle, a second, 

 rather larger and indistinctly double, in disc beyond middle, and 

 a third rather obliquely beyond first on fold ; a transverse row 

 of dark grey somewhat crescentic dots, generally well-defined, 

 from middle of costa very obliquely outwards to a little before 

 hindmargin, thence bent sharply and continued, very near and 

 almost parallel to hindmargin, to inner margin before anal angle ; 

 hindmarginal dots sometimes very faintly indicated ; cilia 

 whitish-grey, ochreous-tinged, towards tips whitish. Hindwings 

 grey, rather lighter towards base ; cilia whitish, with an obsolete 

 grey line near base. 



Broader- winged than the other grey species of the genus, and 

 therefore seeming to approach Jfoplitica, but the resemblance is 

 due to analogy only ; it is easily distinguished from the grey 

 species of Hoplitica by the absence of the dark band of the 

 palpi, and of the hindmarginal dots. 



Common round Sydney and Melbourne, in January and March.
