Nf.w South Wales, Sydney, in September ; two specimens. 

 Confused with semotheta in my description of that sjiecies, and 

 mentioned as the grey Sydney form ; it is really a distinct species; 

 semothefn is larger, 17-18 mm., whiter, the forewings narrower 

 anteriorly and with termen rather more oblique, and is only known 

 from Tasmania.
