Northpr^? examination of series from many localities provides ns with the following constant characters.

and Looktown tins imtch is confined between veins 3 and 6: at Brisbane it extends from before vein 
0 to Deyond vein 6: m Victoria it reaches vein 2 and vein 9. 
The original descriptions and plates provide some evidence that the type examples, like many of 
newitsons Lye^iiids, came from Moreton Bay (Brisbane). The type male is purple with distinct 
piaeiv margins. The type female (Hewitson’s Ogyris genoveva) is described as blue but figured as green:
