 contains most of the types of species of the Indo-Australian fanna des- 

 cribed by Elwes, as also some types oi Doherty, de Niceville, Christoph 

 and Staudinger ; the material which formed the basis of Elwes & 

 Edwards' monograph of Oriental Hesperidae, and of Elwes' papers on 

 Ypthima, Oeneis and the butterflies of Chile; it is especially rich in 

 Lycaenidae. The Riffarth collection contains over 2000 specimens and 

 includes 360 types and paratypes described by Riffarth and Stichel.
