This is the Avetseason form and is distinguished from typical perseus by the absence of striae 
beneath, and the clearer discal line and more prominent ocelli beneath. We liaA’e examined the series 
iu the Australian ^luseum collection hut no particular specimen is indicated as the type: 
iVliskin and zia Butler are synonyms. 
Genus ORSOTRIAENA Wallengren. 
Ofversight Vetenskaps Akademiens Forhandlingar, .1858, p. 79. 
Antennae about half the length of costa, Avith clubs long gradual and slender. Eyes smooth. Fore¬ 
wing Avith vein 12 SAvollen at base: vein 10 from subcostal before end of cell: vein 6 slightly shorter 
than vein 5: cell about half the length of Aving. PlindAving Avith A'ein 3 and A'ein 4 arising very do^ 
together. The sexraark of the male consists of a jAatch of hairs above A'ein la of foreAving above, whicli 
cover a fold of the Aving; and a brusli of hairs on botli sides of the median vein of hindwing above. 
Type. Orsoiriaena medns Fahricius, from India. 
This genus is allied to and closely resembles the ])receding one, but is easily separated by its smootli 
eyes.

We have several aberrant examples Avith additional ocelli beneath. In one of these the ocelhb of 
area 5 of foreAving and also that of area 5 of liindwing, has tAVo white pupils, and there is an 
minute ocellus in area 3 of hindwing. The central white line beneath is of variable width and intensity
