<? ?. 10-15 mm. Head and thorax white, mixed with grey. 

 Palpi short, second joint dark fuscous, terminal joint whitish, more 

 or less mixed with dark fuscous. Antennae grey. Abdomen pale 

 grey, anal tuft of $ pale whitish-ochreous. Legs dark fuscous- 

 grey, tarsal joints with obscure ochreous- whitish apical rings ; 

 hairs of posterior tibiae ochreous-whitish. Fore wings elongate, 

 narrow, costa in $ almost straight, in ? gently arched, apex 

 rounded, hindmargin extremely obliquely rounded ; whitish, thinly 

 and irregularly irrorated with fuscous-grey ; an irregular fuscous- 

 grey streak along costa ; a dark fuscous sometimes double dot in 

 disc before middle, two others longitudinally placed above middle, 

 a transverse mark beyond middle, and an elongate dot on fold 

 somewhat beyond first ; these are generally rather ill-defined ; a 

 strongly curved transverse posterior grey line from an inwardly 

 oblique spot on costa at \ to anal angle, often almost obsolete ; 

 cilia whitish, irrorated with dark fuscous towards base. Hind- 

 wings grey, rather paler towards base ; cilia pale whitish-grey, 

 with a faint darker line near base. 



This and the next species are very closely allied, but I think 

 distinct ; E. ombrophora is considerably smaller, the discal dots 

 larger and differently placed, the first dot being lower in the disc, 

 two dots above the middle instead of one, the transverse mark 

 beyond middle not divided into two dots, the posterior line more 

 defined, and the terminal joint of palpi more or less whitish exter- 

 nally. 



Quorn, South Australia, in October ; rather common.
