form, are reproduced on the underside. The underside, beside 

 some convolute markings, presents a metallic blue eye spot, 

 rather irregular. It has been principally captured in the 

 scrubby sandhills, frequenting the iiowers of Bursaria sjnnosa, 

 Calycothrix tetragona, <fcc. Individuals closely resembling the 

 males have been occasionally noticed in the scrubs near 

 Ardrossan, Y.P., upon blooming Melaleuca acuminata, but as 

 no females have been observed, the species or variety is 

 uncertain. 



Hesperilla bifasciata, spec, nov, 

 PI. II., fig. 4. 



This Hesperilla is known to me by one specimen only ; it 

 was captured near Lyndoch some fifteen years ago, and I have 

 not been able to obtain another. Its colour is a clear brown, 

 with four oval yellow spots near the margin, three near the 

 base, and a semi-lunar one between them near the edge. A * 

 double band — the outer white, the inner yellow — margins the 

 posterior wings, and a small round yellow spot is near their 

 base. 



Hesperilla trimaculata, spec. nov. 

 PI. II., fig. 1. 



This occurs in open grasslands at Monarto, County Sturt, and 

 is figured from a specimen in my possession captured there. 

 It is of about the same tint as the preceding, but a little larger, 

 being If inches in span. The anterior wings are marked with 

 three small yellow spots (that next the apex sometimes divided) 

 forming a triangle ; a narrow black bar from the lower edge 

 upward halfway arross between the lower and the basal spot, 

 and a small round black spot in the same direction as the bar 

 near the upper edge. The underside is of a lighter hue ; the 

 innermost spot is reproduced, and so is that at the end of the 

 black bar (next the margin), but extended downwards into a 

 bar ; the posterior wings have four white round spots sur- 

 rounded by black ; one, the larger, a little beyond the first- 

 third of the distance from the base, the others a little beyond 

 the middle from thence to the margin. Hairs of underside of 

 body light yellow. 



Hesperilla quadrimaculata, ?pec. nov. 

 PI. II., fig. 2. 

 This species occurs at Ardrossan and Yorke Valley, Yorke's 

 Peninsula, and is about the same size as the preceding. Its 

 colour is a uniform blackish-brown, except the central and 

 inner parts of the posterior wings, which are reddish with 

 indistinct edges ; three angular light yellow spots in a line 

 equi-distant from the margin, and one at the apex of the 

 central cell, mark the upper side of the anterior wings. The
