Under surface of wings slaty grey with white lines correlated 

 into bands filling a ground tinged with fuscous. Forewings, 1st 

 and 2nd lines as a narrow r band from costa at J to near inner 

 margin at J, denticulate outward below middle ; 3rd and 4th 

 lines as an interrupted band from costa at ^ to half way across 

 wing ; 5th and 6th lines as a wider band from g and ^ costa to 

 near inner margin, parallel with hind margin, thrice denticulate ; 

 submarginal line just before and parallel to hind margin, slightly 

 sinuous, and frequently denticulate ; marginal line line, black. 

 Hindwings with basal portion and ! asal half of inner margin 

 very finely irrorated black and white. 1st line borders this 

 irroration from j crsta to near h inner margin, it is correl- 

 ated and forms a bar with 2nd line immediately beyond and 

 parallel ; 3rd line from J costa to ^ inner margin, widely inter- 

 rupted beyond centra, lower portion bent sharply inwards ; 4th 

 line from beyond ^ costa to f inner margin (in the 2m 1 fourth from 

 costa a short intermediate line lies between 3rd and 4th lines, and 

 forms a bar with 3rd line) sinuous, dentate, bent inward toward 

 anal margin ; 5th line from \ costa, sinuous and denticulate to near 

 inner angle, sharply bent round to near 4th line at inner margin, 

 and forming with 4th line irregular bar ; submarginal line from 

 apical angle of costa to near anal angle of inner margin, finely 

 bordered anteriorly with fuscous, angulated between veins, and 

 containing in last two spaces at apical angle conspicuous Mack 

 centre dots— the one subtending tail bordered golden yellow, 

 the space between 5th line and submarginal line is in its middle 

 third profusely irrorated with white. In ? there is less irroration 

 of white on the hindwings, and the bars are more interrupted and 

 irregular. 



Allied to L. pavana, but easily distinguishable by pattern of 

 bars, by conspicuous black dots, and by the white irroration of 

 under surface of hindwings. Hilly places, Mackay an 1 Brisbane.
