immediate distinguishing test. In the fifteen specimens of dolon 

 before me some have a small yellow fleck on vein 6 on upper 

 side of forewing, but not of sufficient importance as to confuse 

 it with the present species. From its general appearance it 

 is probable that it has been overlooked by being confused 

 with Walkeri. 



Herberton and Kuranda, Queensland; in March. 



One 9 specimen (Dodd), Roseville, near Sydney; two 

 d 1 specimens; in April (Waterhouse).

14. Padraona, Mre. 



Lep., Ceylon, vol. i., p. 170, 1881. 



Type mcesa, Mre. 



I have examined a specimen of <S dara, Koll., and the 

 generic characters differ from Ocybadistes only by the absence 

 of stigma of tf , vein 2 practically equidistant from end of 

 cell and base of wing, twice as far from 3 as from 4. In 

 the hindwings of 9 V€ i n 2 is sometimes exactly midway 

 between 3 and base. Elwes and Edwards place this genus 

 as a synonym of Telicota, Mre., but I prefer to keep them 

 separate, as it is desirable to prevent the group becoming 

 unwieldy and more difficult. 



75. P. lascivia, Rosen. 



Pam/phila lascivia, Rosen., Ann. Mag., N.H., 1885, p. 378, pi. 

 ii., fig. 1. Apaustus lascivia, Waterh., P.L.S., N.S.W., 1897, p. 

 244; Vict., Butt,, 1894, p. 113; M. and L., T.R.S., p. 100. Pam- 

 phila neocles, Mab., Cont. Rend. Soc, Ent. Belg., vol. xxxv., p. 

 177, 1891. 



I sent specimens of this species to Professor Mabille, who 

 returned it as Padraona neocles, Mab. 



Colonel Swinhoe suggested forming a new genus to 

 receive this species, but I am unable to discern any different 

 characters by which a new genus could be safely erected, 

 excepting perhaps that this species has somewhat broader 

 wings than some of its congeners. The specimens from the 

 Cairns and Herberton districts in North Queensland have 

 the ground-colour of wings nearly black, and the markings 

 both above and beneath much more sharply defined than 

 those from the southern districts, but they do not warrant a 

 distinctive name. 



Type in ? British Museum. 



Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, and Queensland. 

 Thirty-nine specimens; from November to March.
