dot) REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTEKA, 



costal streak containing some pale-ochreous scales; a short, transverse, discal 

 mark beyond middle, not pale-centred; a semi-obsolete, oblique, post-median grey 

 line; cilia ochreous, apices whitish, imperfectly barred with dark-fuscous. Hind- 

 wings with t^rmen nearly straight; pale-ochreous; a thick, dark-fuscous, sub- 

 terminal line ending in tornus; cilia pale oclu-eous. 



This description is taken from Walker's type in the British Museum. It is 

 an imperfect specimen, but appears to be a good species. The locality is given 

 as Swan River.

d". 33-36 mm. Head ochreous-brown. Antennae grey; pectinations 12. 

 Thorax oehreous-brown. Abdomen dark-fuscous with dorsal and lateral ochreous 

 lines; tuft ochreous, towards apes whitish-ochreous. Leg's fu.scous, with long 

 ochreous hairs. Forewings triangular, costa straight, apes round-pointed, termen 

 slightly bowed, oblique; white, a costal streak ochreous, mised with blackish; a 

 fuscous discal spot beyond middle, white-centred; a grey line from costa shortly 

 before apex to mid-dorsum; a similar subterminal line connected with termen on 

 veins ; some fuscous irroration towards dorsum, blackish towards dorsal edge ; 

 cilia ochreous with basal and median dark-fuscous dots arranged alternately, be- 

 yond middle grey. Hindwings with termen gently rounded; ochreous; dorsal 

 edge suffused with, fuscous; median and subterminal fuscous lines, the latter con- 

 nected with termen on veins; cilia ochreous. 



2. 38-43 mm. Antennal pectinations 5. Forewings white with general 

 dense grey irroration, but without transverse lines; the iiToration is absent on 

 termen, except on veins, so as to form a terminal series of white spots; costal and 

 dbrsal irroration as in d"; cilia ochreous with basal and apical lines and some 

 cross bars dark-fuscous. Hindwings fuscous with a terminal series of ochreous 

 spots ; cilia ochreous, apices fuscous. 



The d" resembles zelotes Turn., but in that species the discal spot of fore- 

 wing is ochreous in the centre, and the hindwing has no median line. The S is 

 very different from that of zelotes. 



N. Aust. : Adelaide River in October ; seven specimens including the type in 

 the British Museum ; taken by Commander J. J. Walker.
