ated with dark fuscous. Abdomen greyish-ochreous, anal tuft of 

 male ochreous-whitish. Legs ochreous-whitish, anterior and 

 middle tibiae with central and subapical fuscous bands, tarsi dark 

 fuscous at base of joints. Fore wings elongate, narrow, pale 

 ochreous ; costa strongly strigulated with black ; basal patch 

 represented by one or t^v o sharply bent transverse blackish lines 

 at one-fourth, sometimes filled up with several indistinct parallel 

 fuscous lines ; central fascia straight, moderately and evenly 

 broad, dark fuscous-grey edged with black, running from middle 

 of costa to anal angle, sometimes slightly dilated on lower half ; 

 a dark fuscous triangular blotch on costa before apex, connected 

 with hindmargin above anal angle by a narrow fuscous cloudy 

 streak, thence produced upwards along hindmargin ; a short 

 black marginal line round apex ; cilia pale ochreous, clouded 

 with greyish, and cut on middle of hindmargin by a longitudinal 

 blackish mark. Hind wings and cilia grey. 



This species is nearly allied to the succeeding, but is smaller and 

 narrower-winged, and without the transverse leaden-metallic 

 markings ; the basal patch and central fascia are also more 

 distinctly marked. 



Eather common, though liable to be overlooked from its small 

 size and inconspicuous colouring ; it flies towards sunset in dry 

 grassy places amongst Eucalyptus bushes, generally keeping 

 near the ground. It is probably very generally distributed in 

 New South Wales, where I have taken it at Sydney, Parramatta, 

 Bulli, Mittagong, and Murrurundi ; it occurs most commonly 

 from August to October, but also in December and March.
