820 EEVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



A very large and universally distributed genus ; I have formerly 

 called it Cidaria, Tr., but hei e adopt the older name of Hilbner. 

 It exhibits great uniformity in structure ; vein 6 of the forewings 

 sometimes rises out of 9, sometimes separate, but I find the 

 character not constant within the limits of the same species. 

 Curious abnormalities will lie found noted under H. 2>^i'^edra 

 and II. lamprotis.
