838 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, II., 



ing from nearly colourless and translucent to orange and opaque; 

 an oblong or rounded basal spot beneath cell; a more elongate 

 intracellular spot varying between oblong and triangular; an 

 oblique dorsal spot of variable shape between vein 1 and vein 2; 

 a usually elongate apical spot between veins 6 and 7; a rounded 

 terminal spot between veins 3 and 5 bisected into an upper and 

 lower division by vein 4; occasionally there is a small supra- 

 apical spot, an intermediate spot between veins 5 and 6 connect- 

 ing apical and terminal spots, and a supplementar}^ spot beyond 

 the dorsal spot and separated from it by vein 2. Hindwings 

 small, triangular; coloured similarly to forewings; a basal spot 

 usually large, sometimes divided into two divisions by submedian 

 vein; a discal spot of very variable size, usually rounded, divided 

 into two divisions by vein 3, the upper division sometimes 

 obsolete, sometimes touching or confluent with basal spot. 



In the following species this description is to be assumed to 

 apply unless expressly contradicted, and the spots on the wings 

 will for the sake of brevity and clearness be designated byname. 

 It has appeared advisable to redescribe all the species on account 

 of the difficulty of the group, and the more abundant material at 

 my disposal in most instances, than was available for the earlier 

 descriptions.
