I have not been able to examine the structure of this 

 species. 



Eastern Australia ; also from Celebes and Formosa. 



Glyphodes excelsalis, Walk. 



Glyphodes excelsalis, Walk., SuppL, 1360. 



Apparently differs from G. piepersialis only by the 

 white streak along hind margin of fore wings, and also 

 along that of hind wings to below middle ; and by the 

 broad blackish margin of the white dorsal streak of fore 

 wings. 



Port Darwin, North Australia ; one male. Walker's 

 type is stated to be from West Australia. I hardly 

 anticipate that the species is confined to Australia.
