Besides the following species there are two Australian. The example 

 described as the type of Trachybathra appears to be a singular instance of 

 abnormal neuration ; it has 7 and 8 of forewings stalked and 4 of hindwings 

 absent, but a second example subsequently obtained has the normal struc- 

 ture of Harmologa. These two examples unquestionably represent the 

 same species, and the only possible conclusion seems that the first is a struc- 

 tural aberration or monstrosity.
