Var. The two Townsville specimens are smaller, lack the 

 blackish suffusion, but have a well-marked whitish blotch on 

 micl-dorsum. 



This species is referable to Palibothra, Rag., which may be. 

 tenable as a distinct genus. 



N.Q., Townsville, in December ; two specimens received 

 from Mr. F. P. Dodd. Q., Sandgate, near Brisbane, in 

 December; one specimen.

 I may be wrong in putting all these names together, but 

 they appear to me to represent one very variable species.
