42 ON HITHERTO UNDESCRIBED AUSTRALIAN RHOPALOCERA, 



Underside. — Silvery-grey, with transverse narrow black bands 

 and spots, the position and form of which are almost as in Ictinus, 

 and nearly as wide as in the light-banded form of that species ; 

 the submarginal band being light brown and distinct, the marginal 

 band orange-brown as in Evagoras. Secondaries with an outer 

 submarginal row of white spots. Thorax and abdomen, above 

 dark brown, beneath silvery -grey. 



Exp. 36 mm. 



5a&.— Cape York. Coll. Miskin. 



This species is very close to Ictinus (Hew.) ; it is distinguished 

 from it however by the different form of the discal metallic blue

 above and beneath, and by the colour of the underside, as well as 

 by the minor differences referred to in the description.

(J. TJPPERSIDE. — Uniform dull violet, base of abdominal 

 margin in secondaries greyish. 



Underside. — Pale olive brown with transverse bands and spots 

 of darker brown bordered or surrounded narrowly with whitish. 

 Primaries : a spot and two short transverse bands within the cell, 

 at equal distances from one another and fx'om the base, the first 

 smallest near to base, the larger at end of cell, the other inter- 

 mediate in size ; immediately below disco-cellular band another 

 longitudinally, and below this towards base another short transverse 

 one rather indistinct; beyond all these at about two-thirds abroad 

 transverse band from costa not I'eaching submedian ; an indistinct 

 narrow submarginal band. Secondaries with a slight lilac bloom ; 

 two round spots near base transversely ; a transverse curved row 

 of four small spots across wing ; a very broad irregularly edged 

 transverse band from costa to abdominal margin, nearly straight 

 to last median branch, then narrow and curved to margin, touching
