62 DESCRIPTIONS OF QUEENSLAND LEPIDOPTERA. 



patch obliquely opposite hind margin from close to apex to 

 opposite anal angle at one-fifth depth of wing from border — a 

 rich black line bands this patch gently wavy and broadly and 

 irregularly dentate. These marks in 9 have lighter ground 

 colour and the black bounding line less dense, A number of 

 hieroglyph figures around and between these larger patches 

 cover the Aving outlines in fine black line or grey dotted lines, 

 less conspiciious on 6 than 9 . . Cilia drab. Hind wings brownish 

 drab. Cilia as fore wings. Melbourne. This and the next 

 species have been confounded Avith P. hyalinatus (Herr Schaft"). 

 This latter is a mountain form, and its locale and resting and 

 other habits appear to be quite distinct. If markings, coloura- 

 tion, and general appearances go for anything, to say nothing of 

 size, the tAvo are widely distinct. 



PIELUS DIVERSATA. SP. . NOV. 



i ? iipi\^ 85 — 110. Head, thorax, and abdomen, fuscous 

 grey. Antennae <+. fuscous, 1^, pectinations tapering to 

 either extremity, V fuscous grey, serrate. Forewings fuscous 

 grey, in i tinged Avith ferrous, markings AA^hite, a long Avhite nar- 

 roAV fascia through middle of Aving from opposite one-fourth costa 

 to upper angle of cell, thence obliquely to vein 7 opposite three-fifth 

 costa, coarse dentate prolongation on inner border, divided by 

 narroAV line in ? to near base ; a second narroAV fascia 

 nearly parallel Avith hind margin, borders sinuous, at 

 one-third from anal angle to apex of hind margin, faint 

 hieroglyphic lines round borders of Avings. HindAvings as 

 ground colour of forewings, plain. Melbourne, Victoria. In 

 P. hyalinatus the markings are divided into blotches and spots 

 irregularly grouped into fascia?. In diversata each fascia is 

 uninterrupted, and less irregular. The golden colour of the 

 fascia is sufficient to distinguish P. hyalinatus.
