592 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



brownish-ochreous, strewn with small blackish strigulae, and 

 sometimes sprinkled with whitish-ochreous ; first line represented 

 by a short blackish mark on inner margin ; a large blackish 

 discal dot ; second line represented by a straight blackish streak 

 extending from inner margin § across wing, margined with pale 

 whitish-ochreous anteriorly, and sometimes suffused with fuscous 

 posteriorly. Hindwings with hindmargin rounded, slightly bent 

 on vein 4 ; colour, discal dot, and second line as in forewings, 

 but second line less marked, and hardly reaching half across wing.
