Kunugia
austroplacida sp. n.
 32-36mm,
51-57mm.
This species is a duller brown than the previous one. The four fasciae of
the forewing are broader, more diffuse, the white discal spot very small,
and the medial and marginal zones distinctly grey.
The male genitalia, with the next species, lack a spined lobe to the
aedeagus vesica. The valves are narrow as in suanoides but the cubile arms
are shorter, more evenly and less massively spined.
