little way beyond the cell; apex brown. Body ferruginous; an- 
tennee black. 
Underside ochreous; basal half with two irregular, oblique, dull 
ochreous bands outlined with black, much the same form as in C: 
euryalus ; a lunulate line, extending from the anterior margin near 
the apex of the front wing to the anal angle of the hind wing, mar- 
gined inwardly with dull ochreous. Front wings, outer margin dull 
ochreous, with a paler marginal line and a row of indistinct ferrugi- 
nous submarginal spots, getting smaller and less distinct towards the 
front margin. Hind wings, marginal edge dull ochreous ; a sub- 
marginal row of violaceous ocelli; the pupil black, surrounded with 
greenish on the outer edge of each ocellus ; a submarginal row of 
ferruginous lunules below the common lunulate lme ; between the 
lunules and ocelli dull ochreous.

Note.—The specimen in the Banksian Collection has no connexion 
whatever with this species, it certainly has the old label attached to 
it with the name “pyrrhus” inscribed upon it; but it is only a 
variety of C. athamas. The specimen described and figured by 
Lucas as C. pyrrus (sic) is so different in aspect to all the other 
figures of this species that I am almost inclined to think it distinct ; 
the anal tail is almost gone, the submarginal spots and bands all 
seem to meet at the anal angle, and the whole of the outer marginal 
portion of the hind wing is suffused with purple; these differences 
may be occasioned by a desire of the artist to improve upon nature ; 
but if not, there is no doubt as to its being a new species.
