carmine tinged, posterior pair and middle tibiz and tarsi ochreous- 
yellowish. Forewings oblong, moderately broad. Costa arched 
towards base, apex obtuse, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; flesh 
colour, minutely irrorated with deep pink scales, giving the 
appearance of being wholly pink ; costal edge crimson through- 
out; extreme costal edge towards base whitish ; a hardly percep- 
tible minute blackish dot in disc before middle; a large very 
distinct blackish dot in disc at two-thirds; a roundish dark- 
fuscous suffusion on inner-margin at one-third; a similar spot, 
but more than twice as large as last, on inner-margin just before 
anal angle; a narrow hindmarginal streak, suffused and not 
reaching anal angle ; cilia whitish-grey, mixed with pink, espe- 
cially towards base. Hindwings light yellow; cilia greyish, 
becoming fuscous around apical half and anal angle. 
One specimen, Duaringa, Queensland (Coll. Barnard), taken in 
September. 
The large black spot on forewings is a well-marked character. 
In the present species vein of the forewings hardly terminates 
in the apex. Correctly speaking it is immediately below ; there- 
fore seemingly a Helio causta. The balance, however, is in favour 
of referring it to Hoplitica.

thirds edged with white ; immediately below this are two reddish- 
brown spots, one on each side; another similar above inner- 
margin at two-thirds, the three forming a triangle; a broad 
bright ferruginous fascia from before five- ‘sixths costa attenuated
