in the middle and darkest at abdominal border ; abdominal border, below 

 red band, widely silvery. 



Thorax and abdomen above orange ; beneath grey. 



Exp. — 3 in. Hab. — Cooktown, Cardwell (N. Queensland, 

 Thursday Island. 



$ var. Upperside — Reddish orange, with the outer dark margin of 

 primaries very narrow about the middle, and extended from the apex but 

 a very short distance along costa, and about half way along hiuder margin ; 

 the central black patch almost oblong in shape, hardly visibly divided by 

 nervures, not nearly reaching outer marginal band. 



Secondaries —With the marginal bands only a shade darker than the 

 rest of wing ; central spots — three upper ones elongate, just outside of cell, 

 other two round, between 1st and 2nd and 2nd and 3rd median branches 

 near their commencement. 



Underside. — Primaries as in <j ; secondaries reddish fawn, the trans- 

 verse band very obscure. 



Exp. 3^ in. Hab. — Thursday Island, Coll. — Lucas. 



The form of the wings in ? just described, are in primaries 

 somewhat falcate as in Felder's figure ; and in the hind wings as 

 hereinbefore described in the 6" except that the caudal point is 

 hardlv so developed. The colouring of the under wing in Distant's 

 figure more nearly resembles this specimen.
