BY E. MEYRICK, B.A. 647 



base of wing mixed with white ; first band from costa at one- 

 third to inner margin before middle, rather irregularly margined, 

 somewhat attenuated beneath costa, shortly dilated on inner 

 margin ; second band from costa at two-thirds to inner margin 

 at three-fourths, rather narrow throughout, slightly dilated on 

 inner margin, its anterior margin emitting a short oblique tooth 

 in middle ; three white costal strigulse before apex, from the 

 anterior one of which proceeds a faint leaden-metallic line to 

 anal angle, the two posterior nearly confluent with a white 

 sinuate streak near hindmargin above middle ; beyond the second 

 band the black colour tends to form thick lines along the veins : 

 cilia white, towards anal angle ochreous, with a blackish line 

 near base. Hindwings deep yellow towards base, posteriorly 

 very broadly suffused with dark fuscous, sometimes almost wholly 

 dark fuscous ; cilia whitish, with a broad dark fuscous line near 

 base. 



Easily known by the white bands on the roughened dark 

 ferruginous and black fore wings. 



Three specimens taken at Parramatta and Murrurundi, New 

 South Wales, in October and November. Walker's type is said 

 to be from Sydney.
