This species was brought from King George's Sound, and 

 measures an inch and three-quarters across the fore-wings, 

 which are brown, with irregular black spots and markings, 

 and three curved transverse rows of grey and white spots. 

 The hind-wings are black, with a large orange spot near the 

 base, a broad orange band beyond the centre, interrupted to- 

 wards its extremity, and a sub-marginal row of orange spots, 

 the three nearest the anal angle large, and the four towards the 

 tip small.

This species, which is rather smaller than the last, has brown 

 fore-wings dusted with grey ; the hind-wings are black, with 

 some yellowish hairs at the base, and are crossed by two irre- 

 gular bright red and partly connected bands, which are abbre- 

 viated towards the costa, and there is also a broken sub-marginal 

 band, narrowed towards the costa ; on the under side, all the 

 wings are banded and spotted with red. 



This species was brought from Swan River by Mr. Digg^es. 

 There are several other species found in Australia, most of 

 which, though not all, have brightly coloured hind-wings, like 

 those which we have noticed.
