438 On new Australian Hesperiide. 
as also the femora on each side beneath; legs reddish, the 
femora beneath and the tibie and tarsi above shading into 
blackish ; abdomen clothed with yellowish-green hair at the 
base above; incisions and under surface whitish, tuft 
yellowish. 
All the wings with the fringes chequered with whitish or 
pale yellow. Anterior wings with a large yellow spot at the 
end of the cell, widened in both directions above, two paler 
spots above the submedian nervure, at one third and two thirds 
of the length of the wing respectively ; at three fourths of the 
length of the wing is a transverse subcostal spot crossed by 
two nervures; between this and the outer spot above the 
submedian nervure is a larger one between the median 
nervules, crossed by one nervure, and nearer the hind margin 
are two confluent and more indistinct whiter spots opposite 
the cell. Hind wings with the centre crossed by a slightly 
curved and moderately broad deep yellow band. 
Underside: Anterior wings nearly as above, but with the 
spots more distinctly crossed by the nervures, which are yel- 
lowish towards the base and brown towards the margin. 
The two largest spots are more distinctly yellow than 
the others. The two submarginal spots above correspond 
to the lower end of a yellowish subcostal band crossed by 
three nervures, and connected with a smaller spot placed 
obliquely above it between the band and the subcostal 
spot. The large spot at the end of the cell is also sur- 
mounted by asmall irregular spot. Posterior wings very pale 
yellow, with a large oval black spot at the base, the inner 
margin broadly black, five rather large black dots on the 
upper half of the fringes, which are tawny towards the anal 
angle: three rows of large black spots; the first consists 
of four large spots—the uppermost long, narrow, and pointed 
outwards, the second much shorter, with its narrowest end 
inwards, the third forming a long triangle, its inner angle 
truncated and its centre filled up with pale yellow, the fourth 
forming a large angular projection from the black hind 
margin. The outer rows consist of about six spots, sepa- 
rated by the nervures, and of various sizes and shapes; 
these are surmounted by a long subcostal spot, produced 
nearly to the first of the black dots on the fringe. 
Closely allied to H. ornata and H. picta, Leach. On the 
under surface the anterior wings resemble those of the latter 
species and the posterior wings the former. Easily distin- 
guished from most of the allied Australian species, except 
fT, croites, Hew. (to which it has little resemblance otherwise 
on either surface of the wings), by the presence of the pale 
submarginal spots opposite the cell on the upper surface of the 
anterlor wings.
