434 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



Allied to A. magnana, but distinguishable by the white ground- 

 colour of the forewings, and the grey irroration of the thorax, as 

 well as by the differences of detail in the markings, and the 

 absence of any ochreous tinge in the hindwings. 



Described from Walker's original type in the British Museum 

 Collection, which is the only specimen that I have seen ; it is 

 stated to be from Moreton Bay, Queensland. Walker's description 

 is wholly insufficient for identification.
