of which I have seen a specimen most brilliantly marked on 

 the hindwing, and another in which the markings are hardly 

 discernible. The female is unlike that of any other Australian 

 species, but may be said to bear a superficial resemblance to 

 C. xanthospilos 9. The male is somewhat akin to M. ir/nita ^.
