S . The clialky wliito colour of the occijtiit and sides of iiro- uiid mesouotum' 

 distinguish this species (mnsjiicuousjy from rceci. Tlie forcwing has an oblique, 

 grey, more or less iuterrn[)ted, apical band whicli joins as a rule the grey transverse 

 discal band. Tlie hindwing is more or less suffused with brown ; the brown 

 marginal band is not sharply defined. No long bristles at the base of the midtarsus, 

 or only one or two. 



S. Sexual armature essentially as in recri, but the tooth of the penis-sheath 

 longer.

(??. Closely allied to Neogene. Antenna much slenderer, paljjus smaller, 

 tongue shorter and weaker, midtarsus without the long basal bristles, li'' of the 

 hindwing a little more central, tlie lobes of the paronychium much shorter ; eye not 

 lashed. 



Larva grey sage green ; head, anal prolegs and horn black ; three rows of 

 orange spots, one dorsal, two lateral, the latter including the stigmata ; horn long 

 and thin (from a drawing by Miss Barnard). — Food : Eremophila.

The ti/pe, of tliis species is in the Tring Museum, e.\ coll. Barnard, from whicli 

 collection Lucas described the insect. Miskin's miiumus came from the same source. 



c?. Tentli tergite shorter and more strongly curved than in iVeo/jene, strongly 

 convex dorsally at apex ; sternite truncate-sinuate, a little longer than broad, with 

 the angles rounded. Harpe very short, rounded-triangular, denticulate at end, 

 without a patch of erect scales (which patch is present in Neogene, Protoparce, 

 etc.). Penis-sheath defective in the only S at disiwsal, apparently without 

 armature.
