316 RHOPALOCEKA ArRIC-;E AUSTRALIS, 



Reddish-brown, with a violet lustre, and with quadrate 

 vitreous spots. Fore-wing : central row of vitreous spots as 

 in Ophion, but the first spot wanting ; instead of a blackish 

 transverse streak, between median and submedian neivures 

 before middle, is a conspicuous quadrate vitreous spot ; 

 three vitreous dots in costal are towards apex. Hind-wing : 

 spotless. Cilia greyish. Under-side. — Brown. Fore- 

 wing : as above. Hind-wing : two interrupted, transverse, 

 shining-white stripes. Body violet : eyes brown : antennae 

 ringed black and white and with a black club. 



These characters are derived from Stoll's figure and description. 

 The want of spots on hind-wing, with the two white stripes, of its under- 

 side, as well as the vitreous spot before middle of fore-wing, seem the 

 chief distinguishing marks from Ophion.

 stripe, irregularly dentate externally and internally, from 

 costa slightly before middle to submedian nervure near anal 

 angle, where it ends almost in a point ; near apex, a parallel 

 shorter band, touching neither costa nor hind-n?argin. 

 Hind-wing : irrorated with yellowish scales, excepting along 

 costa and hind-margin ; at extremity of discoidal cell a sub- 

 reniform spot. Cilia of fore-wing brown, of hind-wing 

 yellow. Under-side. — Paler; yellow markings as above, 

 but with fewer scales than on upper-side ; a very limited 

 yellowish irroration at bases. Fore-wing : a pale yellowish-

Mr. J. H. Pdwker describes this species as "solitary and rare; flics 

 swiftly, often lighting with the wings open on the under-side of weeds 

 and plants near the water."
