The collar is snowy- white, and not dirty grey-white as in ^. 

 eucalypti. The marginal lines on both wings and the double bar 

 with the intermediate suffusion distinguish A. intermedia. But 

 the most striking character is the distance of the discal rings frorti 

 the bars. In A. eucalypti they touch, or nearly touch, the 

 diagonal transverse bar in the fore wings, and almost touch the 

 single bar and suffusion in the hind wings. In A. intermedia they 

 are conspicuously and constantly distant. A. intermedia appears 

 to approach more nearly to a species which feeds on Loranthus, 

 and which I have not yet been able to determine.
