moderate, costa gently arched, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; 

 ochreous-yellow, with a fuscous-purple band along hindmargin, 

 moderately broad towards costa, gradually attenuated to anal 

 angle : cilia yellowish mixed with grey, extremities paler. Hind- 

 wings fuscous-grey ; cilia grey, with a dark fuscous line near base. 



A small species, but conspicuously distinct through the purplish 

 hindmarginal band on the yellow forewings. Newman's 

 description appears certainly referable to this species. 



Rather common in low dry bush near Sydney, flying near the 

 ground towards sunset; also at Blackheath (3,600 feet) on the 

 Blue Mountains, and I have received specimens from Coomoo- 

 boolaroo, near Duaringa, Northern Queensland ; Newman's type 

 was from the ranges near Melbourne. It is on the wing from 

 August to October, and again in March.

Thorax generally with a very small crest. Antennae in male 

 somewhat thickened, biciliated with long fine cilia. Palpi 

 moderate, porrected, second joint triangularly rough-scaled, 

 terminal joint almost concealed. Forewings rather elongate, 

 costa in male simple, evenly arched, hindmargin very oblique, 

 almost sinuate, rounded. Hindwings rounded-trapezoidal, not 

 broader than forewings. Forewings with veins 7 and 8 separate, 

 7 running to hindmargin, secondary cell distinct. Hindwings 

 with veins 3 and 4 from a point, 5 slightly approximated to 4 at 

 base, 6 and 7 stalked. 



Allied to Tortrix and Arotrophora, but distinguished from both 

 by the stalking of veins 6 and 7 of hind wings, the presence of a 

 distinctly marked secondary cell in forewings, and the long fine 

 double cilia of the antennne in male. In superficial appearance 

 the species rather remind one of Sciaphila. 



I have four Australian and one New Zealand species, which 

 may be thus arranged :
