Female, 13 mm. Head and palpi whitish-ochreous, palpi 

 long, terminal joint almost 1. Antennae grey. Thorax 

 bronzy-fuscous. Abdomen broken. Legs whitish-ochreous, 

 partially suffused with bronzy-fuscous. j^'orewings elongate,

 from base to near middle, extended at base to dorsum, apex 

 attentuated, not quite reaching posterior patch ; a large patch 

 occupying terminal half of wing, its anterior edge straight 

 and running from middle of costa to middle of dorsum ; cilia 

 rather dark fuscous. Hindwings coppery-fuscous, darker to- 

 wards apex; cilia rather dark coppery-fuscous; 3 and 4 con- 

 nate. 



Sydney, New South Wales, in February (G. H. Raynor) ; 

 one specimen. 



Allied to 0. placoxantha and the preceding, but charac- 

 terised by the pale head, long terminal joint of palpi, costal 

 streak not reaching band, &c.

 above with costal streak; a large patch occupying terminal 

 half of wing, its anterior edge slightly convex, and running 

 from just beyond middle of costa to three-fifths of dorsum,

 ^rst discal stigma, and the orange head.
