Queensland, Cairns, September to .November (Dodd); 3 ex. 
In semicoxinea Staint. (with which I had hitherto erroneously 
confounded this species and clyttinnestra) the 3 has a long expan¬ 
sible pencil of ochreous-yellowish hairs from metathorax lying along 
each side of abdomen ; in the allied molybdaula the 3 has a long 
expansible pencil of fine whitish hairs projecting from mesothorax 
above hind wings ; neither of these two species has yet been found 
in the Australian region.

markings, viz., a broad irregular streak along dorsum to middle, at

into this, and an oblique very irregular streak from costa before 
middle to edge of orange area, where it is slenderly connected with 
apex of dorsal streak; orange area limited by a slender silvery- 
whitish somewhat oblique streak edged posteriorly with some black
