second, and subterminal lines slender, whitish, subbasal straight, 

 first nearly straight, somewhat irregular, median indistinct, curved 

 outwards in disc, second waved throughout, angulated in middle, 

 indented beneath middle, subterminal irregularly waved : cilia 

 white, basal half barred with dark fuscous. Hind-wings with 

 ground colour, median, second, and subterminal lines, and cilia as 

 in fore-wings. 



One specimen, Castle Hill. This is easily known from 

 the allied forms by the slender waved second line. 



Notoreas omichlias, Meyr. 



£ 5 • 22-27 mm. In fresh specimens the fore-wings show a 

 bluish-slaty gloss ; in Mt. Holdsworth examples the edge of basal 

 patch and margins of median band are marked by slender light dull

 specimens. 



Seven specimens, Humboldt Range, and Mt. Holdsworth.
