On comparison, these insects im the Banksian Collection will 
be found to be the same ; the fascia on the wings appears to be 
most frequent in the males, but in this species it is a very incon- 
stant character, being frequently obsolete; the locality of New 
Holland given by Fabricius is possibly erroneous.
