Danis syrius Miskin. 

 ' Vyoo. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales. 1890, p. 34 (N. Queensland): D. 

 apollonhis Waterhouse, (nee Fekler), I.e. 1903, p. 147 (C. York). 

 I have again examined the types of this species in the Queens- 

 land Museum. They are in very poor condition, and I find they 

 are botli males, and not a male and a female, as Miskin supposed. 

 In these Proceedings for 1903 (p. 149), I suggested that these 

 examples might be identical with the species I then recorded as Z). 

 apollonius ; I am now quite convinced that this is so, and as the 

 larger Cape York Danis is distinct from typical D. apollonius 

 from New Guinea, Miskin's name must stand. One of tlie speci- 

 mens in the Miskin Collection is labelled C. York. 



Danis salamandri Macleay. 



Proc. Ent. Soc. N. S. Wales, 1866, i., p. liv.(C. York) : D. Mac- 

 leayi Semper, Journ. Mus. Godf., Lep., p. 154, 1878 (C. York). 



Further examples of this species liave reached me from Cape 

 York, and they show that Semper was right in separating it from 

 D. taygetus Felder. Tlie name salamandri is the older one. and 

 though the specimen in the Macleay Museum is in too poor condi- 

 tion to clearly show its distinctions from D. taygetus, its locality is 

 sufficient to prove its identity. 



Miletus euclides Miskin. 



Hypochrysops euclides Miskin, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, 

 1888, p. 1517(Gippsland, loc. err.) : Miletus meleagris Waterhouse, 

 I.e. 1903, p. 270 (Cardwell). 



I liave shown* that, misled by an erroneous locality, I redescribed 

 this rare species. It is known only from Cardwell, Kuranda, and 

 Port Douglas, all Northern Queensland localities. 



*Vict. Nat. 1910, p. 158.
