a fine, black-edged band of dull orange, from about two-thirds 
costa, and appearing to join the three teeth at extremity; a 
suffused, triangular patch of ground color on costa midway 
between bands ; an irregular line of orange along hindmargin ; a 
double black hindmarginal line, containing a streak of dull- 
orange throughout ; cilia fuscous, with two whitish spots above 
and below middle. Hindwings orange; costa blackish, with a 
somewhat elongate cuneiform mark attenuated to base ; a broad, 
blackish, hindmarginal band from apex to anal angle, and con- 
taining a streak of ground color, emitted from about half of band 
to base, and a similar one along inner margin to base ; extremities 
confluent, and containing a streak of ground color; cilia dull 
ochreous-orange, dark-fuscous around anal angle ; a dark-fuscous, 
sharply-defined basal line. 
A difficult and somewhat complicated insect to clearly describe. 
The description of sycopola, Meyr., is in many respects similar to 
this species, but the thorax and hindwings are good distinguishing 
points. Two specimens taken at Rockhampton, Queensland, in 
February.
