fold, a third in disc above middle, and a fourth in disc at §, 

 connected with anal angle by a rather thick streak ; an elongate 

 spot along costa about |, tending to connect inwards with third 

 discal spot ; a curved line from costa near apex to anal angle, 

 sharply indented inwards beneath costa, connected with a cloudy 

 apical suffusion : cilia white, with two or three cloudy series of 

 fuscous points. Hindwings grey ; cilia grey-whitish.

407. Macli. 2)sathyra, n. sp. 



Parva, alis ant. dilutius ochreis, saturate fusco-irroratis, costee 

 basi saturate fusco-suffusa, maculis disci tribus saturate fuscis ;

(J. 10-12 mm. Head light ochreous. Palpi whitish-ochreous, 

 second joint dark fuscous. Antennae fuscous. Thorax light 

 ochreous, mixed with dark fuscous. Abdomen fuscous. Legs 

 dai'k fuscous, ringed with pale ochreous, posterior tibiae pale 

 ochreous. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa moderately 

 arched, apex tolerably pointed, hindmai'gin extremely obliquely 

 rounded ; pale brownish-ochreous, coarsely irrorated with dark 

 fuscous ; base of costa suffused with dark fuscous ; three small 

 round dark fuscous spots, first in middle of disc, second on fold 

 rather before first, third in disc at f : cilia pale greyish-ochreous 

 irrorated with dark fuscous. Hindwings rather dark grey ; cilia 

 light grey, ochreous-tinged. 



This and the three following species are closely allied ; M. 

 2)sathyra may be known by the more ochreous ground colour, 

 coarser irroration, and marked dark sufiusion of base of costa, 

 with the darker hindwings. 



Hobart, Tasmania (1000 feet), in December; five specimens.
