fuscous mark along costa ; a short dark fuscous streak along costa 

 in middle, beneath which is some light brownish suffusion ; stigmata 

 minute, black, first discal op])OKito posterior end of this streak, plical 

 rather oblii)uely before it ; a small dark fuscous spot on costa at | ; 

 some brownish suffusion towards termen, and a very fine irregular 

 twice interrupted blackish longitudinal median line in this : cilia 

 pale grey irrorated whitish, a l)road darker grey antemedian shade. 

 Hindwiugs apex strongly })roduced, costa simple ; light grey, thinly 

 scaled, towards apex darker grey ; cilia whitish-grey. 



New South Wales, Sydney, on fence, October ; two specimens 

 (one reduced to thorax and forcwings). I find that under the name 

 euplecta I confused four species of extremely similar appearance, 

 but clearly separable by the genitalia and secondary sexual 

 characters, which are now discriminated.
