The above specimen was sent to me by Mr. Feather in a small 

 collection from Australia. In the B. M. Collection there is a 

 series of unnamed specimens which may, or may not, be referable 

 to this species. In some of them the cellular spots are a good 

 deal larger and the submarginal series more distinct. This 

 species is near to ocellata Walker, which has the submarginal 

 spots black and prominent.
