Wiiifis bi'low pale oehraceous, hatfliiHl with brownish ochreous, rosy tinti'il at bivse ; a minuto 

 liiiiwiiish ilisco-rc'llular ring-spot : froutwings with Iho internal area whitish. 



Femah: ( icncrally ouly to be distiuguislnMl fruni mule by the larger disco-cellular spot on upper 

 surliiee of froutwings, but in the example figured it diH'ers also in the well-defined brown sjiots at 

 termination of nervures on outer margin ; and below in the brighter ochraceous ground colour with 

 ill-defined disco-cellular ring-spots. 



The localities are as follows — S, 5, Solomon Islands ( liniifldcii ) : $, Australia (Slnfchburij) ; 

 5, Champion Bay (Da Boulaij) B.M. ; $, Queensland. Coll. Wallace, $, li.M. 



'I'he above sj)ecies seems to sujiply the place of C. Gnoma in Australia.

Afdic. Wings aliiivc milky-white ; froutwings with exce(><lingly narrow brown marginal Ijorder 

 from beyond middle of costa to middle of outer margin ; a very minute disco-cellular brown jioint ; 

 hindwings with usual mealy patch ; the outer margin of all the wings very feebly yellow-tinted. 



"Wings below, pale yellowish or greenish ocliraceous, hatched with brownish; base rosy: front - 

 wings with red disco-celhUar ling spot ; three indistinct brown spots in an oblique line from second 

 median to first discoidal nervure ; hindwings with red disco-cellular ring-spot ; five indistinct brown 

 spots forming a bracket-shaped line between subcostal and median branches.

Dr. IJdi.-iduval in all probability followed Faliricius, when describing the female of his C. Floivlht, 

 but had he po.ssessed the same opportunitj' that I have of examining the Fabrician type, he would have 

 discovered that the true FloreUu was a faded and worn female of his C. Rhadin ; in fiict, Swainson is 

 l)erfectly in the right when he says that the .sexes of his V. Pyrnie are identical in j)attern and 

 colouration. 



The Fabrician description of C. F/om/la says "alls posticis subtus punctis tribus argenteis" which 

 would at once distinguish it from the female of C. Pt/rciir. 



J[r. liowker states (Trimen's Ehop. Afr. Austr., ]i. 3.'!2) that tlic species is numerous about ^larch. 

 appearing in one day by thousands, it is rare by the middle of April. Easily caught, settling upon 

 llowers at edge of forest, but rarely met with inside woods. Seen on 20lh didy, 1863.
