 band on the fore border of each segment. Legs smooth, slender. 

 Wings with three black oblique deeply and irregularly dentate 

 cinereous-bordered lines ; an exterior cinereous partly and broadly 

 blackish-bordered line, which is deeply dentate in the fore part of 

 the fore wings ; submarginal points black ; marginal festoon 

 blackish ; exterior border dentate. Fore wings acute ; exterior bor- 

 der slightly rounded, very oblique. Length of the body 6 lines ;

 by the very different markings of the hind wings, and from the other 

 Australian species by having no continuous black line on the fore 

 wings.
