base ; a moderate, posteriorly dilated, streak along inner mar- 

 gin from base) to posterior extremity of fifth spot ; cilia orange, 

 blackish at base on upper two-thirds. Hindwings with termen 

 rather strongly sinuate above anal angle, causing anal angle 

 to appear prominent; basal and inner marginal hairsi long, 

 orange ; color as in f orewings ; a moderate suffused orange 

 patch in cell ; a broad transverse orange submedian band, 

 between veins 1 and 7, broadest anteriorly and then con- 

 tinued moderately along vein 1 throughout, edges of band 

 more or less crenulate ; cilia orange. Underside of forewings 

 blackish ; markings of upper side reproduced ; subcostal and 

 transverse series of spots edged posteriorly by ai series of 

 blackish spots, lower one becoming blotch-like and filling up 

 space between vein 1 and inner margin; area between this 

 and apex greenish tinged ; basal third of cell blackish ; cilia 

 as above. Hindwings beneath greenish yellow; transverse 

 band reproduced in reddish orange, and edged above and below 

 with a blackish line, interrupted sO' as to form spots ; a red- 

 dish, posteriorly black edged spot in end of cell ; inner mar- 

 ginal area broadly reddish-orange, attenuated towards base; 

 a large bla.ckish blotch abo\e anal angle, obscurely cut in 

 centre by vein 1 ; a fine black line along termen, abruptly 

 terminating at vein 2 ; cilia as above. 



The female of this species is, according to Moore (P.Z.S., p. 

 690, 1878) : "Paler brown above, the yellow bands of upper 

 side also paler, less prominent, there being no yellow along 

 costal border of forewings, and no- median streak from base 

 of hindwings. Under side pale vinousr-brown, this color per- 

 vading upper portion of the discal on the forewings, and entire 

 discal band of hindwings." 



The male differs from its allies by the band of hindwings ex- 

 tending to' vein 7, and the greenish under side of hindwings 

 and attendant markings. 



Scott (Austr. Sep., pi. xiv.) figures the male and female of 

 this Sipecies as Plnneini. Cr., and the female appears to be more 

 like TJJama, Butler, but the male is well drawn and 

 easily recognisable. The type of Phinem, Cr., came from Suri- 

 nam, and has been erroneously recorded from Australia. Wat- 

 son (P.Z.S., 1893) considers Scott's male to represent the male 

 of A}<giade^. Feld., and the female a bad figure of Prusia^, Feld. 

 Both species, so far as we are aware, have not yet been taken 

 in Australia. The larva, which is pale greenish yellow, feeds 

 on various species of Pahii^. We have bred specimens from 

 Kentia fo^teriaua in November.
