43. H. ornata, Leach, var. monotherma. Low. 



T.R.S., S.A., 1907, p. 169. 



In the original description this name was misprinted 

 monotherm. Some years ago, in looking through the Hes- 

 periadce in the Queensland Museum, I saw a 9 variety of 

 ornata in poor condition with all spots of upper-side of fore- 

 wing (excepting the 3 subapical and a minute one below) 

 absent. The under-side was as usual, but without the curious 

 dark spot in the white patch of hindwings. This specimen 

 is an intermediate link between monotherma and ornata. In 

 the former all markings of upper side of forewings are obso- 

 lete.

This species and munionga, OIL, will probably require a 

 new genus to receive them. The stages of the larvae and pupae 

 are quite different from ornata, and its allies. This species shows 

 considerable resemblance to ornata, but is immediately separ- 

 able by the absence of stigma of d ■ The club of antennae is 

 slightly different from ornata, being somewhat more robust and 

 more evenly curved. Superficially it shows such similarity as 

 to be almost confused with that species, especially the 9 > 

 hence my reason for retaining it in TIes'perilla. The absence 

 of stigma of 6* in this and the following I at present regard 

 as specific only. This I consider the better plan than erecting
