Eeadily known by the white spots of under side of 

 forewings; in some female specimens the cellular spot of upper 

 •side of hind wings is absent. 



Blackwood, Belair, and Port Victor, South Australia; 

 'Grampians, Victoria; Perth, Western Australian (<S'. Angel); 

 Katoomba and Sydney, New South Wales; in October and 

 November. Mr. Miskin records it from Cape York, Queens- 

 land, so that it would appear to have a very wide range. 



Larva full fed, 44 mm. Moderately stout, cylindrical, 

 nearly sniooth, clothed with short, hardly perceptible whitish 

 hairs, those on anal segment being more dense, longer, and 

 fuscous tinged. Head rugose, black ; body yellowish-green, 

 three anal segments mixed with fleshy-pink, dorsal line well 

 developed, moderate, greenish, becoming obscured anteriorly ; 

 spiracular, sub-spiracular, ancE supra-spiracular hardly trace- 

 able, spiracles small, fuscous. Full fed in October ; feeds on 

 Lepidosjyen/iuni roncavum. The pupa is cylindrical, with two 

 lai'ge, short, somewhat rose-shaped projections on anterior seg- 

 ment. Imago emerges from early in October to December.

{Telesto. doiuimda, Flotz, Stett. Ent. Zeit. xlv., p. 379, 1884.) 

 "16 mm (measurement of one wing only). Hindwings above 

 unspotted. The typical spots are white. In male foj.-ewings 

 only with the apical dots ; a narrow transverse spot in the cell, 

 and a small spot in cell 3 ; a strong black and grey stigma 

 runs from vein 1 to the angle of cell 3, almost transverse and 

 bent towards termen. Hindwings beneath fuscous; a dirty 

 white pear-shaped spot stands in the cell towardfs base, behind 

 the middle runs a similar-colored waved band, cut by the 

 dark veins, from cell Ic to cell 6; in cell 7 stands a separate 

 spot, and one towards termen in cell 5. In cell Ic the band 

 sends a light streak to base, dilated towards the extremity." 

 The above is translated from Plotz's original description, and 

 would indicate a species very similar to Dj^arlimnplwra, Meyr., 

 in appearance.
