 (■n)ifi(iiiiiii/ (I lii/Jit hlur suffusion, a like bar-line bordering but not' 

 touching the figure posteriorly. This figure is not seen on 

 M. Vinaria, and readily distinguishes it from that species. 



I caught three at light, Brisbane, and submitted them tO' 

 Mr. Meyrick, who believed them to be a variety of M. Vinaria. 

 Mr. Illidge has bred both species in Brisbane, and considers them 

 distinct. The colouring of purple which leads to all shades in 

 M. Vinaria is absent. Maroon takes its place, but is restricted 

 to markings and lines, and does not tint the wings at all. The 

 insect, both those caught and bred, being much smaller than 

 M. Vinaria.
