260 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OF TER IAS WITH 



underside, Primaries. — Light sulphur ye\ low ; extremity of apex and 

 an irregular oblong sub-apical patch which connects at point of apex, light 

 shining brown ; a brown speck within and near end of cell. 



Secondaries. — Clouded with fine brown specks ; various markings in 

 light reddish brown, arranged as follows:— A small ring above the cell a 

 short distance from base, and two others, rather indistinct each below the 

 other and equidistant, towards abdominal border; an irregular row of spots 

 transversely a little before the cent.e, the upper one being the largest and 

 most distinct ; a transverse broken band parallel with outer border, at abcut 

 three-fourths. 



Exp. 1^ — 1^ in. Hab. — Brisbane, Rockhampton. 

 Coll — Miskin. 



This little species is very near to Smilax (Don), closely 

 resembling it on upper-side, but differing very materially on the 

 under. 



T. Virgo, Wallace. 

 Trans. Ent. Soc, Lon. Ser. III. Vol. IV., p. 328, n. 35 

 (1867.) 



This beautiful species is restricted in Australia to Cape 

 York, but I have seen specimens from Solomon Islands — Wallace's 

 specimens are from Aru Islands. 



Wallace's description is unsatisfactory as it can only be made 

 out by comparison with descriptions of two other species — Paella 

 ( Bois ), and Candida ( Bois), I therefore append a full description. 



$ Upperside. — With wings bright golden-yellow, with broad outer 

 marginal band of black. 



Primaries.— With the costa narrowly black ; the marginal band com- 

 mencing about a third before the apex, and continuing widely to the hinder 

 angle, arched on inner-side but entire. 



Secondaries. — With the marginal band equally broad except at apical 

 and anna' angles ; no abdominal band. 



Underside— The colours slightly paler, otherwise exactly as above. 



? Precisely as in <J in all respects, except that the upper side is pure 

 white instead oE yellow, and the marginal ban Is a trifle w ; der. 



Thorax and abdomen, above, dark brown ; beneath liyht grey. 



Exp. <? 1 12 ? l 12 in. 



This species differs from Puella in the ? being white, and 

 from Candida in the absence of abdominal band in secondaries.
