fuscous or black on upper half, and sometimes emitting a streak 

 anteriorly to touch discal spot ; subterminal white, subdentate, 

 margined with fuscous and partially with black, sometimes double 

 for a short distance above middle, where it is surrounded by a 

 blackish suffusion, beneath this forming a moderately large pale 

 or white spot on hindmargin ; a hindmarginal series of black 

 marks. Hind wings with hindmargin rounded, dentate ; colour 

 and markings as in forewings, but median shade blacker, discal 

 spot margined with black, second line sometimes obscured on 

 lower | by a very broad band of blackish suffusion, sometimes 

 followed by a whitish suffusion, pale spot on middle of hind- 

 margin little marked. 



Brisbane, Queensland; three specimens (Dr. Lucas and Aus-

 extent and intensity of the blackish markings, and at present I 

 cannot decide what points are most reliable for its characterisation, 

 but the reddish-ochreous suffusion seems constant.
