becoming dark fuscous on costa and inner margin, sometimes 

 darker throughout, posterior margin always indistinct ; generally

 or two or three dark fuscous dots, near middle of hindmargin : 

 cilia whitish-ochreous. Hindwings whitish-grey or pale grey, 

 slightly ochreous-tinged posteriorly ; cilia whitish, with a faint 

 grey line near base. 



$ . 7"-8". Forewings rather narrower and more elongate than

Differs from T. trygodana by the entire, slender, and evenly 

 margined central fascia, and the whitish-grey hindwings ; from 

 T. philopoana in the male by the slenderness and absence of

 the absence of the basal patch, in the female by the absence of 

 any transverse markings. 



A common species, occuring both in dry bush and in swampy 

 places, at Sydney, Parramatta, Morpeth, and Shoalhaven, New 

 South Wales ; near Melbourne ; and at Toowoomba (2,000 feet) 

 Queensland ; from October to March.
