154 DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN HE.SPER1 D.E. 



Secondaries. — Park-brown, with a bright-yellow transverse 

 broad l and, from near apical angle not quite reaching aldominal 

 border : a short discal band from base ; a small sub-apical spot. 



Undeiride. — Primaries. — Basal area orange-yellow • apical 

 area lighter yellow; hinder margin broadly very dark-brown; 

 transverse 1 and and short central band golden yellow as above 

 but less developed ; sub-apical 1 and as above, variable, sometimes 

 obsolete, sometimes silvery. 



Secondaries. — Ashy-yellow, with the transverse band of 

 upper side more or less developed, sometimes silvery ; the basal 

 band of upper side being here represented by a small spot, not 

 always present. 



Thorax and aldomen — above, dark-brown; beneath, light 

 yellow to light-grey. 



Ex — ^ in. Hab — Victoria ; W. Australia. Coll. — Miskin. 



This is a form intei mediate between Agraulia (Hew.) and 

 Lascivia (liotk ), but nearer to the latter from which, however, 

 it is sufficiently distinguished. 



It is possible — indeed, probable — that some of the species 

 above descrii ed have been already made known to science, and 

 are included in some of the recent notes of Plotz Mabille. <fc 

 Semper, in such publications as the Stett. Ent. Zeit., Compt. rend. 

 Ent T>elg., Petit, nouv. Ent., and Journ. Godff , to which I have 

 been unable to refer; but even if f-ome of my names have to be 

 hereafter sunk as synonyms, at least the descriptions will be 

 useful in the colonies for identification, the above-mentioned works 

 being inaccessible to local students.
