dull-orange, somewhat infuscated. Forewings elongate, mod- 

 erate ; costa nearly straight, termen oblique, hardly rounded ; 

 dark-brownish-fuscous, with orange markings ; a rather thick 

 costal streak from base to middle of cell, leaving extreme cos- 

 tal edge fuscous ; cell filled in with orange ; 3 narrow cunei- 

 form interneural subcostal streaks at f ; between these and 

 costal streak are 3 more very narrow interneural streaks, only 

 separated by veins ; 5 somewhat quadrate spots, placed ob- 

 liquely, 1st, lying close to stigma, between veins 1 and 2, nar- 

 rower than two following : 2nd, immediately above, lying be- 

 tween veins 2 and 3, slightly indented on outer edge; 

 3rd, immediately above second, somewhat cartridge shaped ; 

 4th and 5th, immediately above and touching the cuneiform 

 subcostal streaks, the whole forming a continuous baud, a 

 patch of dull orange lying on vein 1 from base to stigma, some- 

 what suffused at extremities ; a moderate dorsal streak from 

 base to extremity of first of 5 spots ; stigma blackish, entire, 

 very narrow, about ^ mm., oblique, extending from vein 1 to 

 vein 4, edged on either side with blackish ; cilia black, around 

 tornus becoming orange. Hindwings with termen moderately 

 rounded, somewhat prominent at tornus, colour as in fore- 

 wings ; basal hairs dull-orange ; a small roundish spot at pos- 

 terior extremity of cell ; a moderate orange submedian band, 

 edges somewhat crenulate, extending from vein 1 to vein 6, 

 continued on vein 1 as a fine streak nearly to termen and more 

 broadly towards base of wing; cilia orange. Forewings be- 

 neath dull-orange, markings of upperside except stigma re- 

 produced ; the 5 spots edged on either side narrowly with 

 black ; dorsal half of wing blackish ; basal third of cell black- 

 ish. Hindwings dull-reddish-orange; markings of upperside 

 obscurely reproduced ; submedian band edged narrowly on 

 either side with black ; an elongate pale-yellowish cuneiform 

 streak filling up space between veins 1 and 2 : dorsum broadly 

 blackish, with some orange ferruginous scales near tornus. 



9 , 32 mm. Head, etc., as in d" ; forewings dark-brown- 

 ish-fuscous, somewhat purplish-tinged : markings, except 

 stigma, as in d , subco,<ifaI and cellular marks absent: 3 nar- 

 now interneural streaks hardly traceable in some specimens ; 

 cilia as in c^ . Hindwings with colour as in forewings ; cellu- 

 lar spot not indicated ; submedian band more irregularly 

 edged than in c5' , and inclined to be separated by veins ; cilia

This insect, which can immediately be separated from its 

 congeners, is at once known by the rer?/ narrow stigma and

 in fact, I am strongly inclined to think that it may possibly 

 represent the Australian form of that insect. It approaches
