parallel to median streak, becoming broadest at two-third a, 

 abruptly curved upwards immediately before hind margin, be- 

 coming more attenuated, and ending in apex ; a straight silvery- 

 white strongly black-margined median streak from base, its apex 

 sharply curved upwards shortly before hind margin, and ending 

 in a short point directed towards apex of wing, not reaching hind 

 margin ; a moderate fuscous streak along inner margin, bordered 

 internaliy by a narrow silvery-white black-margined streak from 

 base to anal angle ; hind-marginal line blackish : cilia silvery- 

 white, fuscous-grey towards tips, and entirely at anal angle. 

 Hindwings greyish-fuscous, slightly paler towards base ; cilia 

 greyish-fuscous. 



Common at King George's Sound, but apparently exclusively 

 western. Easily known by its brilliant colouring, and the re- 

 curved extremities of hoth discal streaks.

9"— 11". Head white, face, a longitudinal median line, and a 

 spot behind each eye ochreous. Labial palpi twice as long as 

 head, ochreous mixed with fuscous, beneath white towards base ;

 towards costa ; a rather narrow silvery-white sub-costal streak, 

 very close to costa, from base to beyond middle ; a broad silvery- 

 white, very elongate-triangular, median streak from base, its 

 apex reaching to a little beyond middle, its upper edge parallel 

 to costa, lower edge parallel to inner margin, outer edge much 

 more oblique than hind margin and black-margined ; from mid- 

 dle of its lower edge proceeds a slender silvery-white tooth along 

 fold, not reaching middle ; an indistinct white streak along inner 

 margin near base ; a straight rather broad oblique silvery- white
