margin from three-quarters of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, 
edged by a broad well-defined white line, slightly curved near 
costa and strongly angulated outwards in middle, sometimes 
interrupted by a fuscous median line, and posteriorly usually 
edged by a well-defined black line; the median band usually 
contains an irregular subtriangular patch of lighter ground- 
colour, edged with darker, and containing a black discal dot ; 
subterminal line dentate, white, slender, nearly straight ; hind- 
marginal line black, slightly interrupted ; cilia fuscous, sprinkled 
with whitish, forming faint bars, terminal-half lighter. Hind- 
wings with hindmargin rounded, waved, light-fuscous, slightly 
ochreous tinged; median band of four grey lines, posterior 
angulated in middle; subterminal line obscurely whitish ; hind- 
marginal line and cilia as in forewings. 
Nearest to vacuwaria, Gn.; but besides differing in the ground 
colour it may be immediately known by the broad white posterior 
median line. 
Common at Blackwood and at Parkside in February and March; 
also from Victoria.
