out with a fine white line ; veins tending to be outHned with 

 black, especially towards hindmargin, where they are margined 

 beneath with tine white lines ; an interrupted black liindmar- 

 ginal line ; cilia grey-whitish. Hindwings with hindmargin 

 rounded, opal white ; hindmarginal line and cilia as in fore- 

 wings. 



One specimen (at light), at Blackwood, S. A., in May. Narrower- 

 winged than m'ietaria, Gn., to which it seems allied, also without 

 frontal projection. The black longitudinal streak distinguishes 

 it at once from the other species.
