496 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



costa strongly arched near base, costal fold extending from base 

 to about one-third, hindmargin slightly oblique, hardly sinuate ; 

 varying from ochreous-grey to reddish-ochreous, with numerous 

 very small pale dark-centred circular spots, arranged in irregular 

 curved transverse rows ; basal patch indicated by two rows of 

 black dots, angulated in middle of wing ; a fuscous-grey oblique 

 streak from costa before middle, margined with black dots, 

 reaching half across wing but indistinct at extremity ; a small 

 dark fuscous spot on costa at two-thirds: cilia whitish at 

 extremities, fuscous-grey towards base, with a broad dark fuscous- 

 grey line suffused with dark reddish-ochreous on upper two-thirds 

 of hindmargin. Hind wings light fuscous-grey, spotted with 

 darker ; xalia whitish with two dark grey lines. 



Generally distinguishable by the transverse rows of faint 

 ocellated spots. It is nearly allied to C. pyrosemana, but differs 

 from it also through the lighter and more ochreous-tinged 

 groundcolour, the angulated edge of basal patch, and the paler 

 hindwings. 



I took four specimens amongst dry bush at Blackheath on the 

 Blue Mountains, New South Wales, 3,600 feet above the sea, in 

 February, and also met it at Mittagong ; Mr. G. H. Eaynor took 

 it at Melbourne, and rather commonly near Launceston, Tasmania, 

 in January. The locality of Walker's type is given as Moreton 

 Bay, Queensland.
