The inferior wings, as to superficies, are similar 

 to the siiperior, only they want the reticulate por- 

 tion or medium, and therefore can only be distin- 

 guished into Basis and j4pex, which are divided into 

 areas in a similar manner with the superior wings(«).

 As a further proof that the insects of this family 

 are not all varieties of the same species, I shall de- 

 scribe one belonging to it, which is evidently dis- 

 tinct. It is in Sir Joseph Banks's cabinet, and came 

 from New South Wales. It should come next to 

 M. signata{y), which stands with it in the same 

 cabinet, from the same country.
