tremity ; a silvery- white streak along inner margin from base to 

 anal angle, internally rather indistinct, externally margined by a 

 greyish-fuscous streak along inner margin ; hind-marginal line

Differs from aurantiacus by the upper discal streak nearly 

 reaching base, from bivittellus by the straight extremity of the 

 lower discal streak, from both by the duller ground colour. A 

 common and very generally distributed species, occurring from 

 Sydney to the summits of the Blue Mountains, also about Mel- 

 bourne, Adelaide, Rockhampton, and in Tasmania, in December 

 and January. 



Zeller described this as new, quoting Erichson as authority 

 that bivittellus Don. is not this, but the following species; Walker, 

 considering this to be Donovan's insect, re-named the other 

 recurvellus. 



Cr. Uvittellus, Don.; Z. Cr. 34 ; recurvellus, Wkr. Oat. 171.
