Auovk Fo^*e\vin<^ dull black: a discal baud from vein 10 to vein la (obscure in base of area 3)

enclosing* a broad bar at end of cell, black: cilia lirown-blaek with tips whitish. Hindwing as in

This subspecies is variable in the extent of the orange mai’kings above: in a few of the males these 
markings are almost absent, and in many examples they are smaller than in the figure. If the specimen 
(a female) figured as myrsihis had not been recorded as fi'om Tasmania, we would have used that name, 
for Yictorinn specimens agree with that figure much more closely than do Tasmanian examples. 
164c. P. chlorinda chloris nov. Fig. 870, 871. 
. Above. Forewing dull black: a discal band from vein 10 to vein la (somewhat obscure in base of 
area 3), orange, with veins and a broad bar at end of cell, dull black: cilia brown-black with tips 
whifisli. Hindwing dull black: a large patch beyond end of cell, orange: a broad subterminal band 
from vein 6 to dorsum, red, with two or three spots on outer edge at tornus, black: tail dull black: 
cilia Avhitish. 
Beneath. Forewing silky white: a broad bar at end of cell, black; a broad discal line from vein 11 
to vein la, black: a broad terminal line, black. Hindwing silky white: a bar at end of cell, extending 
to vein 8, black: a discal spot in area la, black: a narrow irregular subterminal band, red, outwardly 
edged by an interrupted line, black: two spots near tornns, and a terminal line diminishing to vein 6, 
black, 
$. Above. Forewing dull black: a very broad discal band from vein 11 to dorsum, orange, enclosing 
a bar at end of cell, black: cilia black with tips xvhitish. Hindwing dull black: a large patch in 
end of cell and beyond, orange; a bar at end of cell, black: a very broad subterminal band, from vein 
7 to dorsum, red, with two spots on outer edge at tornus, black: tail dull black: cilia whitish.

Log. Bine Mts. 10. 3cr l2. 
This race is much larger than typical chlorinda, and the orange and red markings above are more 
extensive. 
Subfamily OGYRINAE. 
Ovuxi. Spherical: sometimes much flattened at base and apex: sometimes smooth, sometimes densely 
pitted. 
Larva. Flattened: sometimes smooth, sometimes with scattered bristles. Feeds by night upon 
various species of the ])arasitic LorantlinSj and shelters during daylight under loose bark, in crevices of 
the trunk of the host tree, or under the surface of the earth in ants’ nests. All the known larvae, ex¬ 
cepting only those of O. olanCj have secretory dorsal glands upon the posterior segments: and the lan'3 
of each species is attended by a different s])eeies of ant. 
Pupa. Short, hard and smooth: only slightly flattened. Found in the same positions as the shelter¬ 
ing larvae: attached by the tail and a central girdle. 
Imago. Of moderate size and robust build. Eyes smooth. Forewing with eleven veins: vein 12 
reaching costa before end of cell: vein 11 not anastomosed with vein 12: vein 8 absent: vein 7 reaching 
costa just before apex: vein 5 slightly nearer to vein 6 than to vein 4. Hindwing xvith termen dentate, 
and sometimes strongly produced at vein 2: anal lobe present but imperfectly developed. Male without 
a sexmark. Sexes often markedly dimorphic. 
Range. Confined to Australia, with the exception of one S 2 )ecies {0. meehi) in New Guinea.
