joints with whitish apical rings, posterior tibi?e ochreous-grey- 

 whitish. Forewings rather short in male, more elongate in 

 female, not dilated, costa moderately arched, apex round-pointed, 

 hindmargin very obliquely rounded ; fuscous-grey, irrorated with 

 light grey and blackish ; an ill-defined dark fuscous dot in disc 

 before middle, a second larger on fold beneath it, a third beneath 

 middle of costa, a fourth and fifth partially confluent transversely 

 placed in disc bej'ond middle, sometimes a sixth before and 

 beneath fifth, all often obsolete ; a cloudy darker spot on costa 

 bej'ond middle, generally obsolete ; a short cloudy inwardly 

 oblique dark fuscous-grey streak from costa at 1, emitting an

 dots along hindmargin and apical fifth of costa : cilia grey, 

 mixed with darker and lighter, tips paler. Hindwings fuscous- 

 grey, cilia light fuscous-grey.

Not uncommon round Sydnej', from November to February.
