Our description is written from Kangaroo Island specimens, which are somewhat variable beneath. 
Uur exaniples from the mainland are in rather poor condition but Ave do not consider them distinct. We 
can see no reason why Bethnne-Eaker should concede specific rank to Tepper's 0. halmaiuria: Tepper 
drew attention to the point that his female 0. liahnaturia was without a pale patch on forewing: there- 
tore Betinme-Baker could not have examined hoth types of 0. halmatiiria, or he would either have 
corrected the sex of the siii)posed female, if as Ave expect Tepper was mistaken, or he wmuld have separa¬ 
ted the two species upon this unusual sexual character. 
We believe that all South Australian specimens, including those from Kangaroo Island, belong to 
a single species, but this question cannot be definitely settled until a series of perfect specimens is secured 
trom several localities. We provisionally place here three worn specimens from the Stirling Ranges, wdiich 
possibly represent a distinct race.

voi doubt that we plaee the folio-wing forms as subspecies. The females are 
dimcmt to distinguish, but the males differ in shape.
