branch moderately broad, hardly attenuated, running to costa 

 just before apex, the lower branch, constricted at base, becoming 

 broader and more suffused, running straight to middle of hind- 

 margiii ; above this lower branch are three, and beneath it two 

 wedge-shaped white marks on hind-margin between adjacent 

 veins, variable in size, sometimes very small, sometimes large 

 and almost confluent, those nearest the branch always largest, 

 connected at base by a white streak along hind -margin ; a rather 

 narrow white streak from base along lowest branch of submedian 

 vein to anal angle, slightly bent at three-fifths, posteriorly often 

 indistinct ; a small white spot on inner margin at base ; cilia 

 ochreous-whitish, basally rather darker, with faint central parting 

 line. Hind-wings pale fuscous grey, more whitish towards base ; 

 cilia whitish, with faint grey parting-line. 



Intermediate between relatalis, Wile, and opulentellus, Z. ; 

 differs from all the allied species except grammellm, Z., by the 

 pale washy tint of ground-colour, and single branch of median 

 streak; from grammellus, Z., by the furcation of the median 

 streak, and hind-marginal spots ; from the Tasmanian invalidellus, 

 which is also a pale species, by the furcate streak and grey hind- 

 wings. 



Taken in plenty by Mr. Gr. H. Baynor, near Launceston, 

 Tasmania, early in January.
