 sometimes obscured by a greyish suffusion towards hindmargin ; 

 sometimes a dark fuscous-grey spot towards apex ; cilia with 

 basal half white barred with black, outer half light grey. 

 Hindwings grey or light grey, thinly scaled towards base ; cilia 

 whitish, with a faint grey line near base. 



Closely allied to H. perspectana, but smaller and greyer, with 

 markings variable in intensity, but less well denned than in H. 

 perspectana as a rule ; the streak from inner margin before middle

 followed by two linear marks with which it is not connected. 



Larva rather stout, pale green, head pale brown ; feeding in

Abundant amongst its foodplant on sand-hills near the sea, at 

 Sydney and Newcastle, New South Wales, from December to 

 February ; the larvse were found in January, and images were 

 bred from them the same month.
