margin of subcostal streak before middle, and a second rather 

 beyond it touching upper margin of subdorsal streak ; a small 

 cloudy inwardly oblique mark on costa at 5 ; a triangular blotch on 

 hindmargin, extending from apex to anal angle : cilia white, with 

 broad ochreous-brown bars at apex and anal angle, and lower half 

 ochreous brown from apex- to near anal angle. Hindwings rather 

 light fuscous-grey ; cilia grey- whitish. 



Much larger and darker than the following species, which it 

 closely resembles in marking. 



Blackheath (3500 feet), New South Wales, in November • 

 common. 



281. Sar. ccelateUa, n. sp. 



Parva, alis ant. niveis, striga e basi in costam ante apicem 

 percurrente, altera subdorsali, fascia subobliqua e striga subcostali 

 in angulum analem perducta, trianguloque marginis postici 

 dilutius ochreis, partim nigro-marginatis ; post, albido-griseis. 



£ <J. 11-14 mm. Head and antennae white. Palpi white, 

 second joint suffused with ochreous externally except towards 

 apex. Thorax white, with a bright ochreous lateral stripe. 

 A.bdomen whitish-ochreous. Legs dark fuscous, posterior pair 

 whitish-ochreous. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex 

 round-pointed, hindmargin very obliquely rounded ; snow-white, 

 markings rather pale bright ochreous, partially finely blackish- 

 margined ; a moderate streak from middle of base to costa at f ; 

 a straight fascia from this streak beyond middle to anal angle ; a 

 moderate streak from base of inner margin to this fascia above 

 anal angle ; a round black dot on upper margin of subdorsal 

 streak at J ; an elongate-triangular hind-marginal blotch, extend- 

 ing from apex to near anal angle : cilia white, with a broad 

 median and narrow apical line irrorated with black points. Hind- 

 wings whitish-grey ; cilia pale whitish-yellowish. 



Much smaller than S. hyperocha, with the markings pale 

 ochreous, black-margined, the subcostal streak starting from 

 middle of base instead of from costa, the subdorsal streak termi- 

 nating in the transverse fascia.
