yiied lo jV. lineata but much darker, with the central imtcli of forewing in female much smaller, 
and the tail to vein 2 much more slender. The male is without the long whitish hairs of lineata, so we 
do not consider it a race of that species.

The type specimen bears an erroneous locality: the species has only been taken north of Sydney, 
so the name gi\'en by Miskin is most unfortunate.
