first in middle, second before apex ; an indistinct dark fuscous 

 line near hindmargin. Hindwings pale grey. 



The diagnosis is taken from Walker's type, which appears to 

 be a true Dichelia, agreeing in neuration. I have thought it 

 necessary to include the species here ; but unless Walker was 

 even more erratic than usual, it is difficult to understand how his 

 description can have been taken from this specimen ; the two 

 costal spots are mentioned, but the first is said to be "near the 

 base," and a central fascia and submarginal black points are 

 added, which I failed to perceive. If I had been acquainted with 

 the species in Australia, I should have rejected Walker's name 

 on the ground of the inconsistency of the description with the 

 type ; but I am inclined to doubt whether the species is Australian 

 at all.
