Figure 5 in A specimen of Tirumala hamata hamata (Macleay, 1826) (Lepidoptera: Danainae) from Captain Cook's first voyage

Figure 5. Original sketch of 'Euplaea hamata Macleay' made by Phillip Parker King, ca 1820 [presumed to be based on a specimen from coast of NE Australia, possibly Cape Cleveland]. This can be considered an 'iconotype' representing one of the potentially numerous syntypes (P.P. King 1826, p. 195); it appears to be a male, but this is not certain. Remarkably, given this is presumably a free-hand drawing, the fwl/M1+M2 ratio of 3.25 (mean of left fore wing at 3.56, and right fore wing at 2.93) is only a little below the observed sample mean value for Tirumala hamata hamata, but outside the observed range for T. h. neomelissa (Appendix 2: Table 1).
