darker in J , and irrorated with dull leaden metallic scales, 

 more or less arranged in transverse series ; costa shortly and 

 obliquely strigulated with dark-fuscous; various irregular 

 dark-fuscous transverse lines ; an irregular patch of pale-fus- 

 cous in middle of wing (absent in 9 ) ^ ^ somewhat trian- 

 gular patch of dark-fuscous on dorsum near tornus ; a small 

 fuscous spot on costa near apex, from which proceeds a nar- 

 row waved transverse line of same colour to dorsum, at tor- 

 nus edged on either side by a dull leaden metallic line ; a 

 second, similar, but more distinct waved line, from a fuscous 

 spot at apex, along termen ; cilia dark-fuscous on upper |, 

 pale-fuscous belov/, mixed throughout with leaden metallic 

 points. Hindwings 3 and 4 stalked, 5 widely remote from 

 4 ; 6 and 7 separate ; thinly scaled, fuscous, paler towards 

 base. 



Very closely allied to Macrojpetana, Meyr., but appar- 

 ently distinct by the large costal tuft and absence of three 

 sharply-defined black streaks above tornus, which are rarely 

 absent in that species. 



Townsville, Queensland. Five specimens; in March
