224 Waterhouse and Lyell, Australian Hesperidae. [^"^April^' 



only of a narrow discal streak in lower edge of interspace i, 

 dull orange : cilia rich black, sometimes very narrowly dull 

 orange between veins. Hindwing rich dark brown : long hairs 

 of central and basal area, reaching dorsum but not reaching 

 costa, orange-brown : cilia rich black, faintly edged dull orange 

 between veins. 



Beneath. Forewing brown-black : costa and apex orange- 

 brown : cell spot as above but brighter orange : subapical dots 

 as above : rarely a very minute obscure discal dot in interspace 

 3, dull orange : a series of obscure streaks in apex, cream : cilia 

 cream, at veins black. Hindwing orange-brown : a basal 

 and a discal series of irregular small rings, red-brown : a broad 

 streak in cell, a broader between veins 4 and 6, a broad streak 

 in interspace ih, and a streak in interspace 7, cream : a sub- 

 terminal series of elongate spots, and a terminal series of small 

 spots, cream : cilia cream, at veins black. 



Female. Above. Forewing as in male : spots and dots 

 much larger, and often paler : always an irregular discal streak 

 in lower edge of interspace i : cilia more clearly chequered. 

 Hindwing as in male : usually an irregular spot in end of 

 cell, orange : cilia more clearly chequered. 



Beneath. Forewing as in male : cell spot larger and bright 

 orange : subapical dots larger and two nearest costa, cream : 

 discal spots in interspaces 2 and 3 always present, usually 

 slightly larger than above, and bright orange. 



' Antennae with clubs brown-black above and orange-brown 

 beneath, bent evenly at the middle, and ending in a blunt 

 point : shafts of antennae brown-black, annulated with cream 

 very narrowly above, and more broadly and irregularly beneath. 

 Palpi with third joint short, slender, horizontal : second and 

 third joints clothed above with brown-black hairs sparsely 

 mixed with cream, and clothed beneath with cream hairs tipped 

 with brown-black. 



Expanse (one wing). Male, 13-15 mm. Female, 14-16 mm. 

 Locality. Ebor, N.S.W., in January and December, at 4,000 

 to 4,200 feet. 



Type series (6ocJ, 25?) in collections Waterhouse and Lyell. 



The species is fairly constant in its markings, only varying 

 in the diminishing of the pale spots of the forewing above, an 

 occasional male having these almost entirely absent. The 

 orange spots, both above and beneath, especially those nearest 

 the margins, pale to almost dull white in worn specimens. 



We have dedicated this very distinct and striking species to 

 Mr. R. J. Tillyard, M.A., to whom we are indebted for a fine.
