some new species of Lycana. 525 



Underside : Forewing brown, marked on the centre by 

 a conspicuous Avhite blotch, commencing narrowly on 

 subcostal vein, and abruptly widening on third median 

 nervule, so that it is three or four times as wide on the 

 inner margin as at its commencement near the costa. 

 The white is continued narrowly along inner margin to 

 base. Two white streaks, forming the margins of an 

 obsolete band, cross the wing near base, and the dark 

 disco-cellular streak, Avhich is partly obHterated by the 

 white blotch, is also internally edged with white. Beyond 

 the blotch is a carved row of indistinct darker spots, ex- 

 ternally edged with white. Along the hind-margin is a 

 row of brown lunules, surmounted by a double series of 

 white crescents, the space between them being darker 

 than the ground colour. A thin black line precedes the 

 fringe, which is unspotted. 



Hindwing : brown, crossed by numerous broken white 

 lines, forming the margins of almost imperceptible trans- 

 verse macular bands. These appear to consist of two 

 basal bands, a disco-cellular mark, and a band beyond the 

 middle, the last mentioned being darker and more distinct, 

 and commencing with a white spot on costa, containing 

 a small black central dot. Hind-marginal markings as in 

 forewing, but the two lunules nearest anal angle are black, 

 marked on their outer edge with metallic scales, and each 

 surmounted by a fulvous lunule. Fringe indistinctly 

 spotted. Hindwings tailed. 



Expands 1" — 1" 1'". 



Hab. — Queensland.

 both sides by white: a conspicuous discal row ot six blacJc 

 spots, ringed wath white : of these the lowest is less distinct, 

 and is geminated. A double hind-marginal series of brown
