The 9 of this species was described by me in the Trans. Ent. 
Soc. London, 1SS4, p. 93. I have since procured specimens of the 
other sex, an examination of which confirms the distinctness of 
this insect as an undoubted species. 
As described in the 9 , except that there is no black at the 
base of the wings. 
Upperside. — Ck>sta very narrowly black ; apical band much 
restricted, not extending to hinder angle. 
Secondaries. — ~Qd.se very narrowly black, extending along hinder 
margin only. 
Underside . — Black band as above, but rather wider. Other- 
wise as in 9 . Ex. 2^ inches. 
Hob . — J ohnstone River, X. Queensland (Coll. Miskin).

Primaries. — M holly dark brown, nearly black, excepting a 
large irregular circular patch of fulvous-ied near the centre of 
wing, but nearer to base than apex, extending across the centre 
of discal cell and nearly reaching hinder margin ; within the red 
patch in centre of cell is a round black spot j sub-marginal outer 
row of white spots, indistinct towards hinder angle, the largest 
being about one-third from apical angle ; outer margin fringed 
with white between the ner%*ules.
