230 DESCKIPTIONS OF AUSTRAILIAN MICRO-LEPEDOPTERA, 



streaks ; a Tvhite spot on costa at f , giving rise to a straight 

 obKque violet-golden metallic streak, reaching middle of wing j 

 a similar opposite streak from anal angle, almost meeting this ; 

 a rather broad black longitudinal streak on disc, extending from 

 apex of first costal streak to apex of streak from anal angle, 

 obtusely toothed above beyond middle, containing two rather 

 large roundish violet-golden metallic spots on its lower margin, 

 projecting beyond it, and a much smaller similar spot between 

 and above them ; an ochreous-white spot on costa at five-sixths, 

 and another immediately before apex, both giving rise to oblique 

 violet-golden metallic streaks reaching middle of hind-margin, 

 one or other of which often unites with a violet-golden metallic 

 streak nearly along lower part of hind-margin almost to anal 

 angle ; between f and five-sixths is an oblique blackish streak 

 from costa to middle of disc ; cilia with a very strong black line 

 almost at base, grey, at apex and anal angle black, with a large 

 white spot on middle of hind-margin, and a small one just above 

 anal angle. Hind-wings trapezoidal, moderately broad; golden- 

 yellow, hind-margin very broadly blackish ; cilia golden-yellow, 

 on hind-margin black at base. 



This splendid species is distinguished from all others in the 

 genus by the yellow hind- wings. It is local, but occurs rather 

 commonly on the ledges of the precipice at Grovett's Leap, 

 Blackheath, flying slowly in the sunshine in March; also at 

 Campbelltown, Sydney, and Parramatta ; and I have seen 

 specimens from Tasmania.
