634 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, V., 



area extensively suffused witii purplish-fuscous, leaving an apical 

 area, and a spot on inid-tennen, green; a dark fuscous terminal 

 line interrupted on veins; cilia greenish mixed with purplish- 

 fuscous, sometimes with a whitish spot opposite mid-termen. 

 Hindwings with termen rounded, crenulate; as forewiiigs but 

 without first line and apical green patch. Underside pale pur- 

 plish more or less suffused with ochreous towards hase; on fore- 

 wing a large dark fuscous roundish discal spot, with a whitish 

 spot on its terminal side; on hind wing a purplish-fuscous discal 

 dot; a whitish postraedian line, on forewings narrow and inter- 

 rupted, on hindwings broad; a whitish spot on niid-termen of 

 both wings. 



A handsome but variable species. In two of my examples 

 vein 11 is free; in the third it approaches 12 but fails to anas- 

 tomose, and then anastomoses with 10. The posterior tibife of 

 the $ are not dilated in my one example.
