Abdomen beneath orange, mixed with white. Legs pale- 

 yellow, posterior pair orange. Forewings elongate, triangu- 

 lar, costa straight, termen oblique, gently bowed in d 1 ; dark- 

 fuscous, with orange markings; whole of cell and costal area 

 for whole length of cell orange, leaving extreme costal edge 

 dark-fuscous; a moderately broad transverse fascia, from 

 vein 1 to vein 6, very much narrowed between veins 4 and 6 

 to about half the width of rest of fascia, directed toward 

 termen, but not nearly reaching it ; a nearly quadrate subcostal 

 spot (representing the usual subapical spots) lying midway 

 between apex of fascia and end of cell ; suffused orange streaks 

 along vein 1 and dorsum ; stigma narrow, nearly straight, from 

 vein 1 to 4 running along anterior edge of fascia; cilia dark- 

 fuscous, terminal half orange. Hindwings with termen 

 rounded ; basal and dorsal hairs orange ; an ovate spot in cell ; 

 a moderately broad orange submedian band of orange from 

 vein 1 to vein 6, lower edge irregularly crenulate, upper edge 

 with a slight projection in middle and a small orange spot 

 resting on inner edge of apex of band, often absent; cilia 

 orange-yellow, fuscous at base. Under-side of forewings 

 blackish, base of cell dark-fuscous; apical area and upper half 

 of termen greenish-orange ; markings of upper-side, except 

 stigma, reproduced, but paler, and more or less narrowly 

 edged with fuscous ; cilia fuscous, orange at anal angle. Hind- 

 wings orange, with a greenish tinge; supra-dorsal streak fus- 

 cous, more pronounced on termen ; markings of upper-side 

 reproduced, but paler, and finely edged with fuscous; cilia 

 orange, mixed with light fuscous.

 Port Darwin. Forty-seven specimens ; from October to May. 



71. O. walkeri, Heron, var. hypochlora, nov. var. 



The description of this insect is given under the name of 

 sunias, Feld., by M. and L. (T.R.S., p. 101), and need not, 

 therefore, be repeated. It differs consistently by the larger 

 size (17-25 mm.), the much broader markings, especially in <$ , 

 and especially the clear greenish-yellow under-side of hind- 

 wings, which are often without any markings whatever. The 

 stigma is flat and very broad, usually filling up the interspace 

 between the cellular marking and anterior edge of transverse 

 fascia, which, though approached nearest by the Port Darwin 

 specimens, scarcely assumes the same aspect. I have not seen 

 specimens from Victoria, and the specimens I have seen from 

 Sydney, etc., are not satisfactorily connected with the form 

 under review, consequently I prefer to give it a varietal name.
