gradually attenuated to anal angle : cilia pale yellow, with a deep 

 yellow median line, on anal angle and above hind marginal fascia 

 pale rosy -grey. Hind wings ochreous- whitish, more ochreous 

 posteriorly; cilia ochreous-whitish. 



A beautiful insect, rather variable. 



Brisbane, Newcastle, and Sydney, from September to November ; 

 local, but rather common ; near Sydney frequenting Eugenia, at 

 Brisbane Eucalyptus,

Head loosely haired, sidetufts large, spreading. Antennae in c? 

 moderate, moderately and evenly ciliated (1J), basal joint stout, 

 with strong pecten. Palpi moderate, second joint not reaching 

 base of antennae, densely scaled, somewhat roughened beneath to- 

 wards apex, terminal joint rather shorter than second, moderate, 

 curved. Thorax with a small posterior crest. Forewings elongate, 

 moderate, apex rounded, hindmargin oblique ; surface with tufts 

 of raised scales. Hind wings narrower than forewings, elongate- 

 ovate, hindmargin rounded, cilia \. Abdomen moderate. Anterior 

 tibiae and basal joint of tarsi very strongly dilated with long dense 

 hairs ; middle tibiae densely clothed with hairs ; posterior tibiae 

 clothed with long fine hairs above. Forewings with vein 7 to apex, 

 2 from before angle of cell. Hindwings normal. 



Closely allied to Trachypepla, from which it differs in the strongly 

 dilated anterior tibiae ; it is doubtless a late development of 

 Trachypepla. The first species does not perhaps belong to this 

 genus ; the $ is unknown, and the tips of the wings are imperfect ; 

 so that the neuration cannot be absolutely determined, yet it seems 

 to belong to this neighbourhood ; the dilated tarsi and tibiae are, 

 however, not conclusive, as they occur in other and remote genera.
