834 DESCRIPTIONS OP NEW AUSTRALIAN RHOPALOCERA. 



cloudy dark purplish-fuscous blotch at f , reaching from costa § 

 across wing, enveloping the white spots. Hind wings beneath 

 rather light fuscous, towards anal angle somewhat suffused with 

 pale whitish-ochreous ; a small somewhat darker subcrescentic 

 discal spot before middle ; four very small darker fuscous spots 

 arranged in a straight transverse series at |, one being above and 

 three below middle. 



Albany, West Australia ; one specimen in December. In 

 repose the insect sits on a twig, with the wings directed perpen- 

 dicularly forward (as in a bat), projecting on the side of the 

 undersurface of thorax so as to enclose the legs ; whereas in 

 ordinary species of the family they are usually directly reversed, 

 carried erect over the back.
