158 AGARISTID.E. 



rufous apex. Fore-wings with some cyaneous scales at the base 

 forming four or five very thin transverse hues about the costal 

 portion, a pale yellow discal band running from the costa beyond 

 the middle towards the hinder angle, which it does not reach ; this 

 band is thin and becomes broken and attenuated hindwards ; cilia 

 white at apex. Hind-wings with a broad discal pale yellow band 

 extending from the abdominal margin just above the anal angle 

 to the upper end of the cell, its inner margin touching it, the band 

 is nearly uniform throughout, thickening very slightly upwards, 

 cilia white at apex. Underside, wings as above, bands on abdo- 

 men broader, legs with tufts of rufous hairs, tarsi with yellow 

 bands. 



Expanse of wings l/^ to 2-^^ inches. 



a. Australia (type). b. Australia. 



Both these examples are females, and one is very much larger than 

 the other, but undoubtedly they are identical. They bear a manu- 

 script name of niacleayi, for which I can find no reference, and are 

 allied to nothing I know of.
