 tate, from inner margin to base of veins 3 and 4 ; a large 

 spot in end of cell, anteriorly indented above middle; in male 

 becoming elongate on lower half; a second, somewhat cunei-

 immediately below ; a four'th, ovoid, just below cellular spot, 

 touching third, and sometimes confluent with it; a fifth, suf-

 base; cilia ochreous-fuscous, barred with dark fuscous. Hind-

 orange scales in middle of disc ; cilia whitish ; barred with fus-

 side faintly reproduced ; lower portion of cell blackish ; a faint

Somewhat allied to the preceding, but easily separated by

In one female specimen there are thirteen veins in fore wing,, 

 caused by the stalking of vein 3. It occurs in one wing only. 



Brisbane and Cairns, Queensland; two specimens in March
