c?. 35 — iO mm. Head and thorax purple-reddish. Falpi 2 J ; terminal joint 

 moderate; purple-reddish. Antennae purple-reddish. Abdomen and legs imrjile- 

 reddish. Forewings broadly triangular, costa straight, apex obtusely rounded, 

 termen bowed, scarcely oblique; purple-reddish; cilia coneolorous. Hindwing's 

 with termen rounded; a.s forewings. Underside similar. 



?. 44 — 46 mm. Differs from c? in being uniformly pale-oclireous, without 

 reddish tinge. 



I formerly identified this with rubicunda Swin., but, having now a series, 

 I find it differs from this in the shape of tlie forewings. The coloration of the 

 c? appears constant in Queensland, but a c? from Fort Darwin is pinkish-grey.
