BY E. METEICK, B.A. 521 



in female sometimes the usual discal dots and posterior series of 

 dots distinct, dark fuscous, but usually these are wholly absent : 

 cilia pale yellowish-ochreous, somewhat mixed with grey at base, 

 towards tips whitish. Hindwings rather dark grey ; cilia whitish- 

 ochreous, with a faint grey line near base. 



jS'early allied to E. cojivicfella, but separable by the glossy 

 forewings and absence of any fuscous tinge, the clear ochreous 

 cilia, the usual absence of the discal and posterior dots, the darker 

 hindwings and yellower head. 



jS'ot uncommon near Parramatta in November and January, 

 certainly frequenting Acacia decurrem.
