the legs are long and slender, the coxæ of the fore legs being elongated.
The fore wings of this insect are brown, with a cream-coloured bar running nearly across the centre, but directed towards the anal angle; the inner edge of this bar is nearly straight, but the outer edge is strongly angulated behind the middle. The hind wings are also brown, with a large orange discoidal patch, nearly round in form. The cilia at the outer angle, both of the fore and hind wings, is white; the body is brown, with the abdomen cream-coloured.
The species inhabits New South Wales. The only specimen we are acquainted with is in the collection of the Rev. F. W. Hope. The expansion of the wings is two inches and three-quarters.
