arched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin very obliquely rounded , 

 ochreous-whitisli ; sometimes a few scattered fuscous scales ; a 

 strong dark fuscous streak along costa from base to §, posteriorly 

 attenuated ; sometimes a very short oblique dark fuscous mark on 

 costa before apex, and a hindmarginal row of fuscous dots, usually 

 absent ; cilia ochreous-whitish. Hindwings ochreous-whitish, 

 sometimes greyish-tinged ; cilia ochreous-whitish. 



This species, the preceding, and the two following constitute a 

 closely allied group ; P. xiphostola differs from all the other three 

 in the more whitish fore wings, and very pale hindwings. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; Melbourne and Sale, Victoria ; 

 tolerably common from September to November. 



A specimen of this species stands in the British Museum 

 included under P. latifissella.

 very oblique ; brownish-grey ; a narrow blackish streak along costa 

 from base to f , much attenuated anteriorly, more suddenly poste-
