Sab. — Queensland, Australia. (Coll. Wallace, B. M.) 



I received a single specimen in a small collection from 

 Queensland, and consider it to be undoubtedly distinct. 

 A rather larger specimen, also a female, and from the 

 same locality, is in the British Museum.

 the base, and with a yellow sub-apical arc divided by the 

 dusky nervures ; posterior wings whitish at the base and 

 abdominal margin. 



Beneath, blackish brown ; anterior wings with the cell 

 yellow, apical arc more dilated than above, and continued 

 in a sub-marginal line to the outer angle, yellowish : a sub- 

 marginal yellow spot near the middle of the costa, an 

 irregular one attached to the end of the cell, and two

Hab. — Ceram. 



I receired this curious and very distinct species in a 

 collection from Ceram, and have named it after the late

 brated work, the Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera, the 

 genus was first described.
