238 Mr. \V. H. Miskin's Note on 



A. Male. — Anterior wings with broad margin of deep 

 black on outer side, widest at top, where It extends about 

 one-third along the costa, but decreasing In width towards 

 the hinder margin, where it Is less than one-fourth the width 

 of the wing ; the whole of the rest of the Aving Is one uniform 

 shade of greenish- white ; the inner edge of the black margin 

 Is sharply and clearly defined; at the apical angle and 

 within the black margin are a series of three Irregularly- 

 shaped and different-sized white spots describing an arc. 



Posterior wings. — Ground colour same as front wings, 

 with a tolerably wide outer margin extending to the anal 

 angle ; this margin for about one-third of the way down is 

 deep black, the remainder of a slaty-green colour. 



Under side. — Both wings dark brown, nearly black, the 

 front wings alone have a wide Inner margin of white ; the 

 ajDical spots of the upper side are here replaced by a curved 

 band of deep yellow, there is also a small patch of white 

 about half-way along the costa ; midway along the outer 

 margin, but not quite touching the edge, is a spot of 

 ochreous-red. 



At the base of the posterior wing, and extending about 

 one-third of the way along the front border, is a band of 

 ochreous-red; while also, starting from the base, but border- 

 ing the anal margin, and turning a little way into the 

 wing (where It Is gradually lost) before reaching the anal 

 angle. Is a band of bright yellow ; the outer border Is 

 marked by a line of white continuing round to the anal 

 angle ; within this Is a marginal band of black, and between 

 the two is another narrow whitish band ; this latter Is inter- 

 rupted in the tailed portion of the wing by a band of dusky 

 yellow ; the tail is bordered by a roAV of lunule-shaped 

 black patches; breast bright yellow. 



Expanse of wings 2^^ inches. 



Hah. — Rockhampton. 



B. Female. — Anterior wings with nearly two-thirds of 

 the outer portion black, rest of wing cloudy white ; Inner 

 edge of black Is not sharply defined as In the $. 



Posterior wings. — The outer black margin extending a 

 considerable distance along the front border, and nearly 

 round to the anal angle ; this margin, for some distance 

 froni Its termination, does not touch the edge of the wing, 

 but Is bordered on each side by dusky slaty green, amongst 

 which It loses itself before reaching the anal angle ; the
