from sub-median to end of cell, outwardly from its upper end a 

 small elongated orange spot, in one specimen (and also in type) 

 a smaller spot below this last. Cilia brownish-yellow spotted 

 with dark brown. Hind-wing dark brown, basal area yellowish, 

 an indistinct orange spot at end of cell in one specimen ; in all 

 specimens a broad orange suffusion beyond end of cell, below 

 which are two oval orange spots, separated by second median 

 nervule. Cilia as in fore-wing, longer and paler. 



Under side. — Fore-wing with basal two-thirds of costa and 

 whole of cell orange-yellow, apical area brownish-yellow, rest of 

 wing almost black, spots of upper side reproduced, but much 

 larger, sub-apical paler, rest darker. Cilia long, as on upper side. 

 Hind-wing with a conspicuous broad longitudinal yellowish band 

 through cell, interrupted near end of cell by a dark brown spot, 

 in some specimens centred with yellow, and again by a brown 

 bar near outer margin, below middle of this band two pale yellow 

 oval spots, reproductions of those above, and above it a pale 

 yellow patch ; abdominal area pale yellow ; anal area dark 

 brown ; rest of wing lighter brown. Cilia as on upper side. 



Female, 12 mm. Shape much as in male, with apex rounder. 

 Head, thorax, abdomen, palpi, and antennae as in male. 



Upper side. — Fore-wing dark brown, somewhat lighter than 

 male ; the spots of male all present, but larger, the discal series 

 consisting of four yellow spots — first and second elongated, third 

 smaller, lowest large, wedge-shaped, just above sub-median. 

 Cilia long, yellowish, spotted with brown. Hind-wing dark 

 brown, with a large cartridge-shaped yellow spot just beyond end 

 of cell, below which are two similar but smaller darker- yellow 

 spots, divided by second median nervule. Cilia as in fore-wing. 



Under side. — Fore-wing with basal two-thirds of costa and 

 whole of cell rich yellow, spots of upper side reproduced, larger, 

 and, with the exception of sub-apical series, darker ; on outer 

 margin below apex a pale yellow suffusion ; rest of wing dark 

 brown. Cilia as on upper side. Hind-wing as in male. 



Locality. — Near Walhalla, Victoria (3,000 feet). Captured in 

 February by collector (Mr. H. Jarvie-) of Mr. C. French, F.L.S. 



This species is compared by Olliff to Hesperilla (Cyclopides) 

 cynone, Hew., and by Meyrick and Lower to Tra2)ezites (Pam- 

 phila) gracilis, Tepper, which are undoubtedly conspecific. 

 Both former descriptions were taken from the co-types (two 

 males) in the Australian Museum, from Moonbar (3,000 to 3,500 

 feet), near Mt. Kosciusko, N.S.VV. These specimens are faded, 

 and not in the best condition, which accounts for the spots being 

 described as white. This species bears a general resemblance, on 

 the upper side only, to Telesto crypsargyra, Meyr., from New 

 South Wales, which is also a mountain butterfly. 



This constitutes a new record for Victoria, and the female (now
