HORN EXPEDITION—LEPIDOPTERA.

thirds inner margin. Two oblique, narrow, ochreous-yellow parallel bands from 
costa near apex, edged with fuscous, anterior one continued as a line line along 
hind-margin to inner margin. Beyond this line on lower two-thirds of hind- 
margin is a line of white, on which are placed eight conspicuous black dots 
arranged in pairs. The third pair sometimes divided into three. An interrupted, 
golden, metallic line along hind-margin, most conspicuous on edges of 
spots. Cilia ochreous-whitish with a fuscous basal line; hind-wings and cilia 
opalescent-white. At first sight this species appears identical with longipalpellus, 
Meyr. In fact I at first was inclined to regard it as a variety of that species. It 
differs however in being a stouter-built insect, and the crescentic silver wing and 
elongate black marks are absent; the hind-wings are of a different colour, and the 
hind-margin of fore-wings is apparently rounded and not subdentate. Several 
specimens, both male and female, taken at the Stevenson River.
