but is distinguished by having the golden stripes of the fore 

 wing confined to the distal area, and it is considerably larger than

The above specimen was sent to me by Mr. Feather in a small 

 collection from Australia. In the B. M. Collection there is a 

 series of unnamed specimens which may, or may not, be referable 

 to this species. In some of them the cellular spots are a good 

 deal larger and the submarginal series more distinct. This 

 species is near to ocellata Walker, which has the submarginal 

 spots black and prominent.
