ill posterior end of cell, upper half constricted ; a moderate- 

 cartridge-shaped post-cellular spot, considerably beyond first ; 

 a moderate quadrate spot below ; a small triangular spot above 

 inner margin, at about two-thirds, lying on vein 1 ; cilia red- 

 dish fuscous, base blackish. Hindwings with color as in 

 forewings, termen rounded, basal and inner marginal areas 

 more or less clothed with long orange hairs ; a large yellowish, 

 in male orange, elongate-quadrate spot in middle of wing, 

 immediately below posterior extremity of cell; two small, suf- 

 fused, somewhat cuneifomi yellowish spots, parallel to this, 

 second hardly perceptible on account of density of inner mar- 

 ginal hairs; cilia as in forewings. Underside of forewings 

 with costal half orange-ferruginous, dorsal half more or less 

 dark fuscous; a narrow streak whitish-lilac, from apex along 

 termen to above anal angle; markings of upper side repro- 

 duced ; cilia ochreous-ferruginous. Hindwings with color as 

 in forewings, lilacine streak continued as a band for whole 

 length of termen, and edged above by its own width of dark 

 ferruginous, on upper extremity of which is a series of suffused 

 blackish, white-centred small spots ; markings of upper side 

 reproduced in obscure ochreous-white ; two or three suffused 

 similar dots between posterior extremity of cell and base ; cilia 

 as in forewings. 



The male of this s,pecies stands conspicuously distinct by the 

 hyaline markings of hindwings, and approaches no other des- 

 cribed species from Australia ; the female is a totally dissimilar 

 looking insect, and was until recently considered a distinct ; in 

 fact, Watson (P.Z.S.. 1893), stated that they constituted dis- 

 tinct genera, but Mr. Waterhouse has taken them frequently 

 in rop. which is decisive. The under side of this sex is not 

 unlike the female. Trapezifes malieta. Hew. Mr. Miskin ha& 

 re-described (P.R. Soc, Queensland, p. 149, 1889) what he con- 

 siders the male of this species, and from the description it evi- 

 dently pertains to this species, although no mention is made 

 of the stigma being present.
