Specimens from the Cairns district have the spots of forewing* smaller, and a male and female from 
Kuranda show a distinct series of discal dots on the liindwing above. From Ca])e York (;^^arch), wo 
have a single aberrant example (fig. 13), which helps to bridge the gfi]3 between this and the next 
subspecies. Darnley Is. exam])les have been named E. tunieri Butler, but our specimens from that 
locality cannot be seimrated from the Aush*alian race.

Above. Forewing broAvn: a subcostal dot above end of cell: a complete series of irregular outer- 
discal spots, that in area 2 the largest. Hindwing brown with dorsum and termen paler, and costa 
pale silky brown: a complete series of discal spots, those in areas 2 and 3 sometimes basally joined 
two and two: an incomplete series of minute subterminal dots: a [tatch of specialised scales in upper 
half of cell, brown. 
Bexkatu. Forewing brown shading dai’ker towards centre, with dorsum jiale silky brown: sub¬ 
costal dot as above: usually a small postcellular spot in area 2, and rarely a dot in area la: discal dots 
as above, but smaller: a series of subterminal dots, usually complete: a silky grey patch, more or 
less covered with specialised brown scales, in centre of area la. Ilindwing browiK rarely a dot in 
end of cell, and a series of postcellular dots: discal spots as above: a complete series of subterminal 
dots. 
9 . Above as in male, but j^aler, and with dorsum straight; specialised scales of hindwing absent. 
Beneath as in male: postcellular dots of hindwing more often present: sometimes a pale streak in 
area 7 of hindwing near base: specialised scales of forewing absent.

This is a variable species, especially in the size of the spots of the hindwing: these may be as large 
as in our figure of the type of E. priapus (fig. 15) or much smaller than in our Cape \ork aberration 
of iuUiolns (fig. 13). ButleFs priajnis sinks as a direct STOonym of darchia. 
Owing to the extremely short Latin description, the correct determination of E. darc/i/u is somewhat 
difiicult, l)iit the characters given by Macleay point to the Darwin species and not to E. niveaia. TMs 
view is strengthened by tlie specimens in the British Museum described by Butler as E. priaptis being 
labelled E. darchia.

cf. Above. Forewing dark brown: a large subcostal dot above end of cell: a complete series of outer- 
discal spots: rarely faint traces of a series of subterminal dots. Hindwing brovn vith costa jia e 
silky brown: a comjdete series of large discal spots, coalescent with each other and with the s^bter- 
minal dots, and forming a broad band from vein la to vein 4 or vein 5: a patch of specialised 
scales in upper half of cell, brown. 
Beneath. Forewing brown: subcostal dot as above: a large postcellular dot in area 2: discal 
dots as above, but slightly smaller: a complete series of subterminal dots: a silky grey patch, more 
or less covered with specialised brown scales, in centre of^area la. Hindwing brown: discal band as 
above: a series of subterrainal dots beyond vein 4 or vein 5. 
9. Above as in male, but slightly paler and with dorsum straight: specialised scales of hmdwing absent. 
Beneath as in male: speciaiised scales of forewing absent.

IVe have an interesting aberration of this species with the discal band of hindwing much reduced in 
size, and subterminal dots jiresent in areas 2 and 3 above and beneath. 
SECTION 4. Forewing of male with dorsum convex, and with a single sexmark in area la.

Fruhstorfer considers this species to be a race of E. eleiitlio Quoy, but we do not agi'ee with this 
conclusion.
