these forms are correct, they must certainly be separated, zonata has only two black bands on the wings one 
being submedian, the other, frequently broader band being at the margin, whilst the fringe is fawn resp. 
reddish-yellow like the surface of the wings. Tasmania. 
A. postica WJcr. (56 C f). rusty reddish-brown, beneath yellow. Head in front and palpi below brownish- 
yellow. Forewing with two black, white-centred ocelli and three brown oblique bands, the first extending across

tennae whitish with brownish-yellow, pectinations. Anterior tibiae inside reddish. Wings with a straight, 
oblique, narrow red band extending from % of the costal margin of the forewing to the centre of the posterior
