Xanthorhoe nephodes, Meyr. P.L.S. N.S.W., 1890, p. 874. 



c?, 40 mm. Antennae of c? bipectinated, with two pairs of 

 pectinations of equal length (3) on each segment, arising from 

 the middle and extreme apex of each segment, and so fairly 

 equidistant. Fore wings elongate tinangular ; costa nearly 

 straight, except near base and apex ; termen rather strongly 

 bowed, oblique ; pale grey with dark fuscous lines and irroration;. 

 a fuscous suffusion along costa ; a basal line slightly outwardly 

 curved ; median band narrow, pale except at margins, with a 

 well marked blackish median discal dot ; margin defined by a 

 moderately broad dark fuscous line, internally edged with pale 

 brownish, and this again by five fuscous lines ; anterior from ^ 

 costa to near mid-dorsum, nearly straight ; posterior from | costa 

 to I dorsum, very slightly angled above middle; a dark outwardly 

 curved slightly waved subtermiual line, immediately followed by a 

 whitish line ; a fine blackish terminal line, preceded by pale 

 brownish sufl^usion on veins ; cilia grey. Hind wings with tei-men 

 rounded, whitish-grey ; on inner margin and termen suflfused with 

 darker grey ; a pale subterminal line ; a fine blackish terminal

Mey rick's type, which I have seen, is considerably wasted. I 

 have, therefore, supplemented his description.
