the legs are long and slender, the coxae of the fore 

 legs being elongated. 



The fore wings of this insect are brown, with a 

 cream-coloured bar running nearly across the centre, 

 but directed towards the anal angle ; the inner edge 

 of this bar is nearly straight, but the outer edge is 

 strongly angulated behind the middle. The hind 

 wings are also brown, with a large orange discoidal 

 patch, nearly round in form. The cilia at the outer 

 angle, both of the fore and hind wings, is white ; 

 the body is brown, with the abdomen cream- 

 coloured. 



The species inhabits New South "Wales. The 

 only specimen we are acquainted with is in the col- 

 lection of the Rev. F. W. Hope. The expansion of 

 the wings is two inches and three-quarters.
