This ma}' be recognised by the much darker blue, and the 

 broader margins to the wings on the upperside. The female, as 

 in 0. hewitsoni 9, has scarlet in cell of forevving on underside.

Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, 1900, 52-54, pi. i. figs. 1-4; /.c. 

 1902, 341. 



This may be recognised by the metallic blue colour, the very 

 broad margins on upperside of forewing in (J, the orange central 

 blotch in 9, and the few and indistinct markings of underside of 

 hindwing. Mr. O. Lower informs me that he has lately received 

 a specimen (^^) from Chillagoe, N.Q., the only other authentic 

 record being Sydney.

The male is a rich velvety purple with black margins; and the 

 female may be recognised by the large lemon spot on the fore- 

 wing. In this species, as opposed to 0. barnardi, the forewing 

 appears to be rather lengthened, though otherwise they are very 

 close on the upperside. I cannot agree with Mr. Miskin's 

 remark that Hewitson's description does not agree with his 

 figure; in my opinion both figure and description refer to this 

 species. It seems that the name 0. darno was given to this 

 species in a British Museum List without description. 



Log. — Victoria, New South Wales, S. Queensland. 



Exp. (J 19-23 mm. (21), 9 19-24 mm. (22) {g 25, 9 15).
