rupted to form dots, beneath more indistinct and often obsolete ; 

 a row of very indistinct often obsolete dark fuscous dots along 

 hindmargin and apical fifth of costa : cilia fuscous-grey, slightly 

 mixed with whitish. Hindwings fuscous-grey, slightly paler 

 towards base ; cilia whitish-grey, slightly ochreous-tinged, with 

 a very faint grey line near base. 



Usually rather larger than E. amatira or E. dolosella, with the 

 discal dots much more clearly defined than in either. The obscure 

 grey colouring and type of markings of this group recur in some 

 species of Neplwgenes and Philohota, but both those genera have 

 vein 7 of the forewings terminating beneath the apex. 



Common round Sydney and MelboiH-ne in March.
