referred to this genus, a unique specimen, however, not admitting 

 of a very careful structural examination. It approaches more 

 nearly to the genus Lycfena than to any other AustraHan species 

 of Zizfva. It ma}" easily be recognised by the spotted fringes, 

 and the white underside with the very conspicuous brown spots, 

 two of which are placed in the cell of forewing. It is quite dis- 

 tinct from any described Australian species, nor have I seen any 

 other form at all apj^roaching it.

U n d e r s i d e. — Forewing greyish- white, spots black margined

This species is closely allied to Z. gaika, from which it may be 

 distinguished by its larger size and the presence of the cell spot 

 on underside of forewing.
