Type ? 



I much doubt if this species can remain as distinct from 

 ■ drachmophora, Meyr. I have a specimen from Newcastle, 

 New South Wales, which agrees very well with Plotz's descrip- 

 tion and figure. It chiefly differs by the markings of under- 

 side of hindwings being dull-whitish instead of being silvery- 

 white, as in drachmophora, but as both species are scarce 

 and material scanty I prefer to keep them separate for the 

 present. 



Tasmania; Newcastle, New South Wales.

Having received more perfect specimens from Mr. Ed- 

 mund Jarvis, I redescribe this species, the former description 

 being faulty, tf , 22-25 mm. Head, thorax, palpi, and abdo- 

 men dark-fuscous, beneath yellowish terminal joint palpi long. 

 Antennae fuscous, annulated with whitish-yellow. Legs yel- 

 lowish. Forewings elongate, moderate, triangular, termen 

 gently rounded oblique; dark-fuscous, basal half clothed with 

 short orange hairs; a small somewhat quadrate orange spot 

 in end of cell; a somewhat cuneiform orange spot at base of 

 veins 3 and 4, its apex directed inwards; a small ovoid orange 

 spot immediately below, sometimes absent; a transverse row 

 of 3 pale-yellow subapical spots; stigma dull-black, more or 

 less broken into spots, oblique, from vein 1 to base of orange 

 cuneiform spot; cilia, dull-reddish orange, barred with 

 blackish at extremities of veins. Hindwings with termen 

 somewhat strongly bowed; colour and cilia as in forewings; 

 basal area clothed with fine long orange hairs ; an indistinct
