which is a greyish band. Anal lobe black; caudal spot black, 

 crowned with orange. Cilia white. 



2- l-i)-19 mm. (17). Shape somewhat as in ^ but broader. 



U p p e r s i d e. — Forewing greyish-black, a central whitish spot 

 which may extend to inner margin or is often nearly efiaced. 

 Cilia white, Hindtoinj greyish-black, a marginal white line 

 above which is a lunular band, together enclosing dark spots; 

 sometimes above this again a band of interneural whitish suffu- 

 sions. Anal lobe yellowish. Tails black lined with white. Cilia 

 white. 



Underside as in ^. 



This is a variable species, particularly the female, which is 

 often almost without any white on upperside. In the Macleay 

 Museum there is a female which has a much more convex 

 outer margin to the forewing, and is a much broader insect, but 

 I am inclined to think it is the same species as this.

The figure does not appear to be very good, and is much smaller 

 than the average //. phorbas ^. Both tigure and description point 

 to a species very close to H. phorbas q. The upperside is given 

 as a dark grey shot with bluish, and the underside greyish-black 

 with markings evidently much as in //. phorbas. It has the two 

 tails and circular patch on forewing as in //. ^^horbas ^, of which 

 the two known specimens are probably only varieties.
