396 ON RHOPALOCERA FROM THE VICINITY OF MT. BELLENDEN-KER. 



This species may be distinguished from its nearest ally, the 

 common Epinephile abeona, Don., by the position of the fascia on 

 the forewing which is situated between, instead of behind the 

 ocelli; apart from this it is smaller in size, paler in colour, and 

 has the ocelli less conspicuous. Judging from the description it 

 appears to have little I'esemblance to E. Rawnsleyi* from the 

 Maroochey River, near Brisbane. Mr. G. Barnard informs me 

 that he found E. Helena near the Barron Falls, Cairns, at an 

 elevation of about 1,500 feet above the sea. 



In conclusion, I have only to add that the species is dedicated 

 to Mrs. Edward Forde, a lady whose practical knowledge of the 

 economy of the larger native lepidoptera is probably unequalled, 

 and who is widely known for her admirable drawings in the 

 'Australian Lepidoptera,' the work of her father the late Mr. 

 A. W. Scott.
