indistinct dark longitudinal fuscous line near costa extending 
from base to just before apex, an irregular fuscous patch at 
extremity of cell bordered externally with white ; a second very 
indistinct fuscous line on disc extending to middle; vein 1 dull 
fuscous, veins 2-6 at apical fourth streaked with black, the 
streaks short, reaching the margin, interrupted in their middle ; 
two inconspicuous dark fuscous spots on costa before apex, and 
another similar but smaller spot on inner margin before anal 
angle ; cilia dull carmine, ochreous at base, with a distinct fuscous 
parting line, interrupted by a row of ochreous whitish points. 
Hindwing whitish, suffused with fuscous towards apex and at 
costa ; hind-margin narrowly edged with fuscous ; cilia whitish, 
inclining to fuscous near anal angle, a dark fuscous parting line 
near base. Expanse $ 28 33 mm. ; ? 34 36 mm. 
Gosford, Hawkesbury River, New South Wales ; larva', feeding 
in twigs of Cedrela and Casuarina. 
S Antenna feebly dentate ; £ simple ; in form similar to 
those of Epicrocis snblic/nalis , Wlk. 
This species appears to be nearly allied to Epicrocis patulalis , 
Wlk. ( E . rufitinctella, Meyr.), but the markings are even less 
definite than in that form, judging from the detailed description 
published by Mr. Meyrick (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, iii., 
p. 203, 1879). It may be recognised by the presence of the dark 
patch at the end of the discoidal cell, relieved outwardly by a. 
patch of white scales, by the characteristic streaking at the apical 
extremity of the wings, and by its generally larger size. 
The adult larva elongate, rather robust, with sixteen legs, and 
nine pairs of lateral stigmata, of which the first is pro-thoracic. 
Head and dorsal surface of 1st thoracic segment black ; 2nd and 
3rd thoracic segments and body pale sea-green, inclining to 
purplish in certain lights especially at the sides, an ill-defined 
salmon coloured streak on each side in the region of the stigmata 
extending from the 4th to 11th segment inclusive, this marking 
less conspicuous on thoracic segments ; with two dorsal and three 
lateral rows of rather large black tubercles, each giving rise to a 
long outstanding seta, the dorsal rows are somewhat irregular 
owing to the presence on the segmental folds of similar tubercles 
which are a little nearer the sides, of these rows of tubercles that 
just above the legs is the least conspicuous ; the 1st thoracic 
segment is sea-green at the sides, and is provided with two lateral 
tubercles being a continuation of the low^er lateral rows; 12th 
segment rounded, without tubercles ; stigmata or spiracles 
ochreous, placed beneath the 1st, and above the 2nd and 3rd 
rows of lateral tubercles ; thoracic legs pitchy, abdominal legs 
sea-green, inclining to fuscous. Length 16 — 20 mm. 
Up to the time when the larva is about two-thirds grown it is 
of a more sombre colour than the above description would imply,
