1066 ON QUEENSLAND AND OTHER AUSTRALIAN MACRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



by its own width from inner margin, is a broad rounded-off bar ; 

 and between this and dots on hind margin is a large oval blotch 

 contracted in the centre ; the basal portion of the wing and 

 especially the costal portion is thickly covered with dark 

 brown hairs : cilia brown and black. Hindwings, basal and 

 inner portions dark, colour as forewings ; a deep black 

 dentated bordering from basal portion divides wing, to- near 

 apical angle of costa, into two series of brown spots or cells — 

 the anterior or costal portion is divided by black lines into 

 two large cells and two supplementary cells ; the hind portion is 

 divided into four helmeted cells ; the innermost is small and 

 almost obscured by adpressed dark brown hairs ; the 2nd contains 

 an ocellus, consisting of a white centre dot, a deep black ring, a 

 narrow brown ring and a narrow black ring from within outwards ; 

 the 3rd is divided by a broad black lunular band ; the 4th is 

 simple ; there is a fine submarginal black line crossed by the 

 black bar lines dividing the margin ground colour into 5 crenulated 

 cells ; the anal, one linearly elongated round anal margin ; cilia 

 brown tinted with black. In (J a linear ground colour line runs 

 along costal side of inner margin band, and curves to join first 

 costal blotch which is curved and contracts in centre at point of 

 junction. Cells in hindwing in $ smaller and more obscured by 

 diff'used black-brown. 



This species difi'ers from H. Banhsii, Leach, in its larger size, 

 deeper coloui", greater profusion of black, and in having only 7 

 spots instead of 10 in fore wing. There is no costal bar as in H. 

 Banksii. The band of black in hindwing stretches uninterruptedly 

 across, while in H. Banksii it is irregular and narrower. The 

 ocellus in H. affinis consists of more rings than that of H. Banksii, 



Gippsland, Victoria.
