its apex below costa slightly beyond middle, somewhat suffused 

 into apex of central streak, its base extending along hindmargin 

 from beneath apex to middle, its upper side parallel with costa, 

 its lower side somewhat curved ; this blotch is cut by a narrow 

 white streak running from immediately beneath costa beyond 

 middle obliquely outwards to middle of disc at two-thirds from 

 base, and a second narrow white streak from apex of wing 

 obliquely inwards, nearly reaching extremity of first white streak : 

 cilia reddish-fuscous. Hindwings pale fuscous-grey ; cilia whitish- 

 grey, with a dai'k grey line near base.

 type can still be clearly traced in them. 



I have only one male, taken by Mr. Miskin near Brisbane.

 fold to middle, an oblique streak from centre to above anal angle, 

 and an oblique streak from disc at two-thirds to apex, suffused 

 together with fuscous-grey clouds so as to form a cloudy gradually 

 dilated streak from base to hindmargin, between which and the
