nounced immediately above anal angle, enclosed space almost 
white ; a whitish apical patch obscurely continued along hind- 
margin to anal angle; a suffused blackish hindmarginal line ; 
cilia ashy-grey, basal-half darker. Hindwings distinctly sinuate 
beneath apex; grey-whitish, slightly ochreous-tinged, much 
lighter towards base ; cilia whitish, base yellowish-tinged, with a 
fuscous parting-line near base. 
Rather variable in markings and intensity of colouring, the 
costal streak and curious mark above anal angle are distinct 
characters. Nearest to laniata, Meyr. LEighteen specimens 
beaten from Banksia marginata, at Blackwood, in November.

Spicuous galleries of rough mud-coloured silk and refuse, and the
