very dark grey or blackish, tinged with *reddish, especially 
along costa of fore wings. 
Expanse of wings 24 millim. 
One female from Queensland. 
Stericta? rubroviridis, sp. n. 
Fore wings dull grey-green, very thickly dusted with olive- 
fuscous and reddish scales; first line about one third, in- 
distinct, paler, edged with fuscous; second line at two thirds, 
running obliquely outwards to middle, then dentate and 
vertical to inner margin before anal angle, followed by a 
paler green line, which is again followed by a dark smoky 
shade, through which the veins all show as black streaks ; 
marginal area paler green ; fringes pale green, chequered with 
dark fuscous opposite the veins, and with a row of fuscous 
blotches along the hind margin between the veins. Hind 
wings dark grey, especially towards hind margin; fringes 
pale grey. ‘Thorax and abdomen cinereous. Face, collar, 
and patagia, as well as basal area of fore wings, dull pink ; 
but it is possible that these were once green. Underside

Fore wings snow-white, with black markings; a large 
black costal blotch not quite touching the base and reaching 
to one third, bounded beneath on the submedian fold by a 
lengthened tuft of white scales, the space below the tuft being 
a mixture of black and white scales ; the whole basal area is 
sharply defined and straight externally, and is followed on 
the inner margin by a short oblique black streak ; discal spot 
round, black, containing on its inner edge a small tuft of raised 
white scales, and with a small black costal blotch above it; 
exterior line thick, black, subdentate, curving outwards from 
costa at two thirds, then inwards, and again slightly outwards 
before inner margin; the lower part of the sinus is filled up 
with a thick black shade, with some ochreous scales on its 
inner edge; marginal area broadly black at apex, narrowly at 
anal angle and greyish white between, the whole separated 
from outer line by a distinct curved white line, which is inter- 
rupted so as to form two white spots opposite the cell; fringes 
whitish, chequered with black opposite the veins, especially 
towards apex, and with a row of black squares along the 
hind margin at their base between the veins. Hind wings
