 f costa to middorsum, and another from § costa to tornus angulated in disc ; 

 the included area between these lines faintly suffused, except a costal spot ; 

 an apical spot ; a short line on lower part of termen ; cilia ochreous-whitish. 

 Hindwings and cilia pale grey. 



Victoria: Beaconsfield, in October, one specimen.

 in male ^. Thorax dark fuscous with a white posterior spot. Abdomen whitish-

 moderate, costa rather strongly arched, apex round-pointed ; 7 and 8 stalked ;

 to second fascia; second fascia at -^-, gradually dilated towards dorsum; third 

 broader from § costa, displaced outwards in middle, ending on dorsum beyond 

 middle; fourth from ^ and fifth from before apex, the two fusing in middle of 

 disc and thence running to tornus ; a streak along apical half of termen ; cilia 

 fuscous, before and above tornus ochreous-whitish. Hindwings grey ; ochreous 

 tinged towards dorsum; cilia whitish-ochreous, on apex grey. 



Near A'^. trifasciana, Wlk., but the second and third fasciae are widely 

 separate on costa. I have a series of that species from Brisbane, and its mark- 

 ings are very constant. The species following belongs to the same group. 



New South Wales : Glen Innes, in March, two specimens.
