Acrocercops heteropsis. Low. 



Queensland : Charleville, in September. I took three examples of this 

 curiously-marked species on the lee side of a fence after a storm. The thorax is

 ing of the hindwings is confined to the male ; in the female these are grey. This 

 form of sexual difference does not occur in any other species of the genus, 

 so far as I know.
