710 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, III. 



Distinguished from Dasyuris by the pectinated antennae of the 

 £. The following species is an interesting discovery, as hitherto 

 the genus has been known only from New Zealand.

 sparsely irrorated with white. Antennae dark fuscous with fine 

 white annulations; pectinations in g very long (10-12). Legs 

 dark fuscous sparsely irrorated with white. Forewings tri- 

 angular, costa straight except at base and apex, apex round- 

 pointed, termen long, bowed, oblique; dark fuscous sparsely irro- 

 rated with white scales; a median ochreous spot near base; some 

 blackish suffusion beyond this; antemedian line blackish from f 

 costa, mostly obsolete, but edged posteriorly with ochreous; 

 median area pale fuscous with white irroration; posteriorly 

 bounded by a fine blackish, slightly dentate line from § costa, 

 obtusely angled in disc to f dorsum, anteriorly broadly edged 

 with ochreous; in median area is a blackish discal dot, and a 

 small blackish spot on dorsum; cilia with basal half fuscous, apical 

 half pale fuscous barred with white. Hindwings with termen 

 rounded; uniform dark fuscous with a few white scales; lines 

 blackish, suffused; cilia as forewings. Underside blackish with
