378 Mr. R. Rosenstock on Australian Lepidojytera. 



Fore wings with the disk deep fiery golden metallic : hind 

 wings duller brownish golden-yellow, without metallic sheen 

 on the submedian area ; fringes whitish grey, with a blackish 

 basal line, in the hind wings irrorated with brownish yellow. 



Underside. — Pale whity brownish cafe-au-lait colour, with 

 a series of dark fuscous paler whitish-margined markings, 

 cordiform (in outline), and disposed in transverse rows across 

 the wings ; two deep chocolate-brown semilunar spots on anal 

 angle of hind wings, continued anteriorly by a I'ow of similar 

 but very much fainter submarginal spots, hardly distinguish- 

 able on the fore wings ; head, palpi, thorax, and abdomen 

 blackish brown above, whitish beneath ; antennse alternately 

 black- and white-ringed, the clubs black, brownish red at 

 tips and underneath. 



I have referred this species to the genus Lucia. Butler, 

 followed by Semper, places it and the allied species limhojria, 

 Swains., = aMr{;fer, Blanch., under Zeriiis ; but I fail to see any 

 resemblance to Boisduval's type of that genus (^Z. neriene 

 (Guinea), Boisd.Sp. Gen. pi. xxii.%,6). The venation, too, of 

 Zeritis, as represented in Boisduval's figure, is entirely different 

 from what I observe in my species, which, on the other hand, in 

 this respect perfectly agrees with Lucia Umharia. In Zeritis 

 three subcostal branches are emitted from beyond the angle of 

 the cell, while only one radial vein, presumably the lower, is 

 figured. In Umharia and aurifer two subcostal branches only 

 rise from a common stalk, emitted from the angle of the cell, 

 while an upper radial vein issues from the same point, and 

 the lower radial is emitted at the middle of the discocellular 

 veins. 



Hesperidse. 



Pamphila, Fabr. 



(384.) Pamphila lascivia, n. sp, (PI. XI. fig. 1.) 

 Golden brownish black ; palpi with basal and second joints 

 covered with whitish-yellow hairs ; terminal joints black, 

 naked ; thorax and abdomen black, with deep olivaceous 

 yellow hairs above, pale olivaceous whitish beneath ; anal 

 tuft deep yellow-ochreous. 



Upperside. — Fore wings : inner two fifths of costal margin, 

 interior of cell, first, second, and third subcostal branches 

 bordered with deep golden yellow, and a submarginal band of 

 six orange-yellow spots. Hind wings with a transverse band 

 of oblong deep golden-yellow spots, starting from below costa 

 near apex, and directed towards middle of abdominal margin, 

 which, however, it does not reach.
