610 REVISION OP AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



(J9- 34-40 mm. Face blackish-fuscous, lower margin and fore- 

 head ferruginous-ochreous. Antenna! pectinations of <J 4, apical 

 J simple. Forewings with hindmargin obliquely rounded, waved ; 

 11 rising out of 10; varying from ochreous to fuscous, more or 

 less irrorated with dark fuscous and sometimes with whitish ; 

 first line slender, curved, dark fuscous, marked with black 

 on veins, sometimes thick and blackish-fuscous on lower half, 

 preceded by a deeper ochreous shade ; median shade slender, 

 irregular, dark fuscous, ill-marked, angulated above middle, 

 sometimes preceded by a blackish discal dot ; second line black, 

 usually slender, but sometimes thickened on lower J, costal third 

 usually reduced to three black dots, acutely angulated above 

 middle and with a rounded-triangular prominence below middle, 

 nearly followed by an ochreous-brown parallel shade, tending to 

 be continued to hindmargin beneath apex ; subterminal obscurely 

 paler, partially darker-margined, slender, dentate; a hind marginal 

 black line or series of dots. Hind wings with hindmargin rounded, 

 dentate ; colour, subterminal, and hindmarginal lines as in fore- 

 wings; median shade slender, cloudy, dark fuscous, nearly straight; 

 a blackish discal dot; second line somewhat irregular, slightly 

 sinuate, black, sometimes rather thickened, nearly followed by an 

 ochreous-brown parallel shade. 



Sydney, New South Wales; Melbourne and Warragul, Victoria ; 

 Mount Lofty, South Australia ; from April to December, common 

 and widely distributed. The larva feeds on Acacia decurrens, but 

 perhaps not exclusively. I have bred dwarfed specimens very 

 much smaller than the size given, but do not regard them as 

 natural. The species is very variable in intensity of marking, 

 but recognisable by the blackish-fuscous face and ferruginous- 

 ochreous forehead from all but the following.
