lines from f costa to close to first line at J inner margin ; cilia 

 as fore wings. 



Balranald, N.S. Wales ; two specimens.' 



Allied to D. succinea, bnt of a different texture, having a

 coloured and arranged. 



Darala rubriscripta, sp.nov.

 Palpi light fuscous tipped with cream-white. Forewings, costa 

 gently rounded, hindmargiu rounded, brownish-yellow with shade 

 of ochreous : four lines or fasciae deep gamboge-brown, 1st from 

 near base of costa for a short distance along costa, thence as an 

 indistinct crenulate circular line to \ inner margin, a broad 

 gamboge-brown band stretches from this first line along costa to 

 beyond J, thence as a dentate circular line to near centre of wing, 

 where it winds again toward base and runs to inner margin at 1, 

 costal half dark, inner half paler : a deep gamboge-brown line 

 from a blotch at f costa to f inner margin : immediately beyond 

 this and parallel is a light yellow-brown line, and beyond it again,
