[June, 



I know the ? only. Size and shape of limhosa. Superior wings wood-green, 

 slightly violaceous, mixed with scorched black-brown ; the ordinary lines are much 

 less angular, and the space between the elbowed line and the sub-terminal forms a 

 complete violet-black band ; the orbicular stigma is white and vciy apparent ; the 

 reniform yellow-brown, with a pinkish tinge, fuller and not bordered with white, at 

 least in my example ; a blackish track follows the sub-median ; the fringe is con- 

 colorous, and is preceded by black dashes ; the inferior wings are as in limhosa. The 

 thorax and the head uniform in colour, wood-brown dusted with black. Palpi flesh- 

 coloured, with the black spot less apparent than in allied species. 



Australia.

Alee anticoe griseo-violacece, costa limboqtie pallidioribus, strigis angulosis 

 nigris, macula reniformi alhida ardata, lineam hifuscatam longitudinalem

Slightly smaller than the species which precede. Superior wings blackish- 

 grey, violaceous, with the costa and the terminal space paler ; ordinary lines black, 

 sinuated and angulated ; sub-terminal simply waved, and preceded by small black 

 nerval dashes ; all the cellule is filled in with black, in which are seen the two 

 ordinary stigmata, in colour dirty white; the orbicular extremely small ; the reniform 

 much narrowed above, connected beneath with a nervure of the same colour forked 

 at its extremity ; all this divided in the middle by a greyish-violet dash ; a black 

 trace in the ordinary place of the basal line : inferior wings grey, paler at the base ; 

 their imder-side almost white, with the cellular lunule, and the spot at the internal 

 angle, black. Thorax blackish-grey, violaceous, uniform, with a white space on the 

 middle of the collar on the upper-side of the head.

Ochropleura roristigma, "Walker, p. 409, 8 ? ?. 



Statura affinitasque, N. plectce. Alee anticce violaceo-nigricantes, lituris 

 duahus hasalihiis albidis nigro adiunbratis, costa albida, ccllnla longe nigra^

 Thorax griseus ; scapulis violaceo-nigris. 



It resembles our Nodua plecta. Superior wings dull violet-black, the terminal 

 space paler, and the base whitish violet-coloured, divided into three markings by 

 deep black, firstly in the cellule, afterwards by a dash below the median vein, and 

 lastly by a smaller one beneath the sub-median ; the two ordinary spots yellowish- 

 white ; the orbicular punctiform strongly conspicuous in the black cellule ; the 

 reniform divided by a brown dash, and filled in with brown infcriorily, and rests on 

 the median vein ; some black dashes indicate the upper portion of the subterminal 

 line ; the inner margin is yellowish-white, as in our A. cmpyrca : inferior wings 

 white, soiled with grey, especially on the hinder margin ; beneath with the lunule 

 and the spot strongly marked. Thorax whitish-violet, with the patagia and the 

 anterior part of the collar deep shining black.
