broader, pale greyish-brown; this and whole side densely reticu- 

 lated with strong irregular ochreous-brown lines ; spots rather 

 large, black; anal segment with two black oblong spots; head 

 pale yellowish-brown, reticulated with reddish-ochreous and black; 

 all markings sometimes almost obsolete. Feeds (several together) 

 in a spun-up discoloured cluster of leaves on Eucalyptus tereticornis

 Tasmania ; Mount Lofty, South Australia ; common in August, 

 September, and January, but rarely taken in the perfect state. 

 Walker described two species separately, each as Oecophora 

 divisella : this (the second) is therefore quashed.
