cT, Above. Forewing brown: central area, including lower portion oi: cell, basal portion of areas 2 
and . 1 , and upper portion of area la near base, yellow-l)rown: a short broad sexmark below middle 
of area la, whitish. Hindwing brown: a large oval patch of specialised scales in upi^er half of cell 
and extending towards costa, yellow-brown. 
Beneath. Forewing brown: central area larger than above, extending to vein la, yellow-brown: 
dorsum silky grey: sexmark more prominent than above. Hindwing brown. 
9. Above as in male, but with doi'sum straight: central area paler and extending towards termen: 
sexmark absent. 
Beneath as in male: sexmark absent. 
Log. Cape York. Thursday Is. lev 1 q. 
Our figure is drawn from the type in the Queensland Museum: this, and a female from Thursday Is. 
in the collection of Mr. R. Illidge, are the only Australian examples known: the species is abundant in 
New Guinea.

9 . Above. Forewing bronze green: a large spot in end of cell, and a short broad streak in area la. 
Hindwing bronze green, towards costa paler: a series of six irregular elongate diseal spots. 
Beneath. Forexcing greenish brown, towards dorstim paler: a divided spot in end of cell, a series 
of three postcellular spots, and a long broad white streak in area la. Hindwing greenish brown: a 
large spot in end of cell, and a series of three jiosicellular spots: discal sjiots as above. 
Log. Thursday Is. (Rf(tZer). I 9 . 
Our figure is of slightly reduced size, and together with the deserijition is taken from a coloured 
plate of the type in the British Museum: no other example has been taken within Australian limits. The 
records show that this specimen reached the British Museum through a dealer. Thursday Is. is a 
thickly populated trade centre of only a few hundred acres extent, and many collectors have visited it. 
Our own collector resided uimn tlie adjacent mainland for over three years, paid many visits to 
Thursday Island, kept special Avatch for rare species of this genus, and failed to find this one. We 
therefore consider it almost certain that this island was the place of export but not the place of 
capture. 
SECTION 0. Forewing of male with dorsum convex, and Avith a double sexmark in area la. (This 
section is equivalent to ButleFs genus Stictoploea).
