 (Photo.883. L. Jenkins. 2002.)

This brilliantly coloured moth has a wingspan of 4.cms, and was caught in Victoria , at Leongatha South, in late December. The forewings are black and yellow stripes, looking as though they start from the outside edge, and meet down the centre of the wing. The under wings are black with a yellow edging. The body is yellow with black stripes.
