out by a moderate, thick parallel fuscous shade, the posterior 

 edge of which is parallel to limiting line of median band ; a 

 blackish line along termen ; cilia' whitish, mixed with fuscous 

 and barred with blackish. Hindwings with termen roainded, 

 hardly waved; fuscous; a faint darker discal dot; a darker 

 cui'ved postmedian line, followed by an obscure whitish parallel 

 line ; line along termen and cilia as in forewings. 



Apparently nearest compsotis, Meyr., but apart from the 

 longer antennal ciliations, it may be at once recognised by 

 the almost straight limiting lines of median band, thus recall- 

 ing orthotic. The palpi of male are disitinctly shorter than 

 female. 



E-oeburne, Western Australia; two specimens in November.

 a ehort black outwardly oblique line near base, hardly reach- 

 ing innermargin ; median band dark fuscous, well defined, 

 limiting lines black ; anterior edge from just beyond one- 

 fourth of costa to about middle of innermargin, strongly cui^ed 

 inwards on upper two-thirds, and with a sharp angulation 

 above innermai-gin ; edged anteriorly throughout by a narrow 

 parallel ochreous- white line, which line is anteriorly edged by 

 a suffused fuscous line ; posterior edge from about two-thirds 

 .costa to two^thirds innermargin, sinuate inwards above ciiid

 rounded ; a narrow parallel ochreous-white line immediately 

 following; a fuscous-whitish qu.adrate discal spot, edged on 

 either side with a black line ; a thick black bar connecting 

 margin of band below middle; subterminal cloudy, silvery-

 edged posteriorly by an irregular parallel ferruginous line ; a 

 shaiply defined black spot resting on innermargin near anal

 along termen, anterior edge pai'allel to ferruginous line; a fine 

 waved black line along termen ; cilia grey-whitish, mixed with
