indicated by a transverse oblique rather curved line of four or 

 five blackish dots from costa at one-fifth to inner margin at one- 

 third ; central fascia moderate, oblique, from costa before middle 

 to inner margin before anal angle, dark fuscous, mixed with 

 ferruginous and irregularly edged with blackish, somewhat 

 dilated on lower half, anterior edge nearly straight, posterior 

 edge irregular and suffused below middle, with a round projection 

 near inner margin, edged by an outwardly oblique streak from 

 inner margin ; a small elongate dark fuscous spot along costa 

 about three-fourths, posteriorly suffused ; a small irregular, 

 sometimes obsolete, dark fuscous spot near middle of hindmargin 

 containing two or more black dots, which are sometimes alone 

 distinct ; a short slender interrupted blackish streak near hind- 

 margin from apex : cilia whitish, at base ochreous, with a faint 

 dark grey line : sometimes the whole wing is more or less suffused 

 with reddish-fuscous. Hindwings fuscous-grey, darker posteriorly, 

 faintly spotted with darker ; cilia whitish, with a dark grey line 

 near base. 



?. 11"-12". Head, palpi, antennae, thorax and forewings 

 ochreous-brown ; forewings more elongate than in male ; mark- 

 ings as in male but generally obsolete, or distinct on costa and 

 inner margin only, sometimes dark smoky-fuscous but suffused ; 

 outer edge of basal patch often forming a small dark spot on 

 inner margin. Hindwings rather darker grey than in male. 



Allied to C, postvittana, but usually larger and less variable ; 

 easily distinguished from it in the male by the greyish-fuscous 

 irroration of the groundcolour, the darker and more ferruginous- 

 tinged markings, the greater breadth of the central fascia towards 

 the costa, and the darker hindwings. The female is very similar 

 to C. postvittana female, but always darker and more fuscous, 

 with a much less ochreous tinge. 



Taken, not very commonly, at Sydney and Parramatta, usually 

 amongst Acacia decurrens; very common at Melbourne, and occurs
