an elliptical ring ; a dark fuscous elongate dot on fold below first 

 discal streak ; a transverse row of small somewhat wedge-shaped 

 dark fuscous spots from costa at f very obliquely outwards to 

 below apex, thence sharply bent and continued near hindmargin 

 to before anal angle ; the streaks on veins form elongate dots on 

 margins : cilia whitish, mixed with dark fuscous. Hindwings 

 rather light grey ; cilia grey- whitish, with a faint grey line. 



Longer winged than JE. grammatica, the hindmargin more 

 rounded, the veins marked by obscure lines, the discal strigulse 

 reduced to lines, and the palpi peculiarly haired. 



Three specimens taken on Eucalyptus trunks near Sydney in 

 April and August.
