BT E. MEYRICK, B.A. 797 



■474. Cross, semiotn, n. sp. 



Parva, alls ant. saturate purpureo-fuscis, nitidis, fascia antica 

 augusta costam non attingente alba ; post, subfulvis. 



(J. 11 mm. Head, palpi, antenute, thorax, and abdomen dark 

 bronzy-grey. Legs dark grey, apex of joints and liairs of posterior 

 tibias ochreous- whitish. Fore wings elongate, narrow, costa gently 

 arched, apex tolerably acute, hindmargin hardly sinuate, extremely 

 oblique ; dark shining purplish-fuscous ; a rather cloudy straight 

 somewhat oblique ochreous-white bar from inner margin before 

 middle, reaching more than half across wing, apex suffused : cilia 

 purplish-grey. Hindwings and cilia shining smoky-ochreous ; 

 veins 3 and 4 coincident. 



It is not improbable that the coincidence of veins 3 and 4 of the 

 hindwings may prove to be an individual characteristic, and not 

 constant in the species ; at any rate it does not at present seem 

 necessary to separate the species generically from C. ceyiopa, to 

 which it is in other respects apparently nearly allied. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; one specimen in October.
