sevenths of costa two-fifths of inner margin, becoming 

 ochreous-white on inner margin ; a second straight violet-blue- 

 metallic fascia from slightly before middle of costa to slightly 

 beyond middle of inner margin ; a large roundish black patch 

 resting on anal angle and extending nearly to costa, its upper 

 half crossed by six whitish-ochreous longitudinal lines, of which 

 the four upper terminate anteriorly in one small round violet- 

 golden-metallic spot, the two lower extend from posterior edge 

 only halfway across ; a small violet-blue-metallic spot on costa 

 beyond middle, touching the black patch ; some pale ochreous 

 scales in the black patch near its lower anterior angle, and seven 

 small roundish violet-golden-metallic spots scattered through its 

 lower half ; a slightly outwards-curved violet-blue-metallic fascia 

 from costa at five-sixths to hindmargin at lower posterior angle 

 of black patch ; an elongate transverse violet-blue-metalic apical 

 spot : cilia grey, basal half scaled with light bronzy-ochreous, 

 beneath black patch with whitish-ochreous, and separated by a 

 broad blackish-grey line, with a triangular ochreous-white 

 indentation above middle of hindmargin, costal cilia dark grey 

 with a small ochreous-white spot above ante-apical fascia, and a 

 larger wedge-shaped ochreous-white spot above apex. Hind wings 

 and cilia dark fuscous. 



A beautiful species, intermediate in size and general character- 

 istics between the much larger G. cometophora, Meyr., and the 

 much smaller G. iometalla, Meyr., diifering from both in the 

 violet-blue tinge of the metallic fasciae, and in the more numerous 

 metallic spots on the black patch ; from the former also by the 

 whitish dorsal spot near base and the less numerous longitudinal 

 lines, from the latter by the completeness of the first fascia, and 

 more numerous and conspicuously developed longitudinal lines. 



I found this species pretty commonly near Burragorang, New 

 South Wales, at the bottom of the deep gorge which receives 

 the confluence of the Nattai and Wollondilly Eivers, flying in 

 the sun over grassy banks in April ; and afterwards met with it
