second line white, tolerably well-defined, obscurely dark-margined ; sub- 
terminal very ill-defined, cloudy, whitish, interrupted above middle, not 
touching second line: cilia ochreous-whitish, obscurely barred with grey, 
and with two grey lines. Hindwings 1}, light grey, darker posteriorly ; 
cilia whitish, with a well-defined grey line. 
Compared with the neighbouring species a rather large and dull-coloured 
insect, with the lines more abruptly bent and angular than usual. 
Wirrabara Forest, South Australia, in October ; five specimens.

with whitish, lower with ochreous, and connected with costa by a cloudy 
dark spot; second line tolerably distinct, white, anteriorly dark-margined ; 
terminal space wholly dark, except moderate cloudy white subterminal 
line, interrupted above middle, apex of lower portion almost touching 
second line: cilia white, mixed and obscurely barred with grey, lower half 
spotted with dark fuscous. Hindwings 14, whitish-grey suffused with 
darker, apex and upper part of hindmargin suffused with dark fuscous, 
central lunule and postmedian line tolerably distinct; cilia grey-whitish,

A comparatively short-winged species, allied to S. eremitis, but much 
smaller and more distinctly marked, the dark markings much blacker. 
Mount Wellington, Tasmania, from 8,000 to 3,800 feet, in December ;

* 18. Scop. gomphota, n. sp. 
Male.—15 mm. Head, palpi and thorax grey, mixed with reddish- 
ochreous and black; palpi 21. Antenne grey; ciliations 4. Abdomen
