88 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



one Oil and the other near dorsum, but not reaching first fascia; 

 a narrow red terminal line; cilia pale yellow, bases red. Hind- 

 wings and cilia reddish. 



N.Q. Cape York (Felder), Kuranda, Geraldton (Johnstone 

 River); in October and November. 



Smaller and narrower-winged than the preceding, the fasciae 

 •narrower, not connected, the second fasciae without processes to 

 termen. Felder's figure is coarse and inaccurate, but may fairly 

 be assumed to represent this species.
