oblique, entire, black ; commencing at base of vein 5 and 

 terminating on vein T near fourth Sjpot; cilia pale ochreous, 

 with a dark line at base. Hindwings with termen faintly 

 waved ; color and cilia as in forewings ; a few ochreous hairs 

 below cell. Under side of both wings pale ochreous ; a broad 

 dull fuscous sub-median streak on forewings; markings of 

 upper side reproduced ; a dull whitish elongate patch on inner 

 margin near anal angle ; cilia of both wings as above. 



Female, 36 mm. Color and markings, except stigma, as in- 

 male, but spots larger, the fourth being conspicuous : the third 

 is absent. 



An easily recognised species ; the absence of the third sub- 

 costal spot is cm-ious. A specimen in the Macleay Museum, 

 probably referable to this species, has all the markings of fore- 

 wings, except stigma, obscured, otherwise similar. Herrich- 

 Schaeffer's figure is accurate; it represents the female. 



Bowen, Queensland ; two specimens, male and female, in 

 Brisbane Museum collection.
