^ £. 14-18 mm. Head ;m<l palpi ochreous-yellow, second joint 

 externally dark fuscous. Thorax ochreous-yellow, with a quadrate 

 dark fuscous anterior spot. Abdomen grey, apex yellow. Legs 

 dark fuscous, posterior tibiae light yellowish. Forewings elongate, 

 costa gently arched, apex pointed, hindmargin almost straight, 

 very oblicpie ; ochreous-yellow ; extreme costal edge dark fuscous 

 towards base ; a moderate purple streak, margined with dark 

 fuscous, from J of costa to f- of inner margin, connected on inner 

 margin with a similar streak along hindmargin from apex to anal 

 angle : cilia fuscous. Hindwings and cilia fuscous. 



Differs from C. Isabella by the dark fuscous spot on thorax, 

 fuscous cilia, and absence of costal streak of forewings. 



Quorn, Wirrabara Forest, and Port Lincoln, South Australia, 

 in October and November ; common.

Head quite smooth. Antenna? in g strongly ciliated (2|), basal 

 joint moderate, without pecten. Palpi short, second joint not 

 reaching base of antenna?, smoothly scaled, terminal joint much 

 shorter than second, moderate, obliquely ascending. Thorax smooth. 

 Forewings elongate, hindmargin extremely oblique. Hindwings 

 much narrower than forewings, ovate-lanceolate, cilia l\. Abdomen 

 rather stout. Posterior tibia? clothed with long dense hairs. 

 Forewings with vein 7 to hindmargin, 2 from somewhat before anal 

 angle of cell, 1 not furcate at base. Hindwings normal. 



This genus is included here as numbered in the tabulation, but 

 I am now convinced that it should be placed further on in the 

 neighbourhood of Machceritis, of which it appears to be a develop- 

 ment. The loss of the basal furcation of vein 1 of the forewings 

 is very unusual in this family, but is a degradational character.
