Dissomorphia australiaria
An attractive with a wing span of 30 mm. Wings were brown with a reddish tinge in the hind wings. The colour appeared to deepen near the trailing margins. The hind wings had angled margins and a short silky fringe. Each fore wing had an ochre coloured patch with dark borders, near the costal margin and a blurred dark band running across all wings appeared to link the two spots. Antennae were feathered.
