9 Bright purple. Forewing with the costa from base rather 

 widely bordered with dark fuscous, towards apex very broadly, 

 coalesciug with a moderately broad hind-marginal border. Hind- 

 wing narrowly bordered with dark fuscous, on the costa much 

 more broadly. Underside as in male. Exp. 38 mm. 



Katoomba, New South Wales (3,350 feet). 



I consider the genus Ghrysophanus to be defined as distinct from 

 Lyccena by the possession of naked eyes, consequently erinus, Fabr. 

 and heathi, Cox, (1) hitherto placed in Lyccena, are correctly 

 referable to ChrysopJianus, and are, in fact, nearly allied to the 

 present species ; the spinose tarsi and anterior tibias probably afford 

 a good secondary character.
