26 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



Pamphila gracilis, Tepper. 



Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A. iv. p. 34, t. 2, fig. 7, 1882. 



I am strongly of opinion that this species is identical with 

 Hewitson's Astictojiterus (^Cyclopides) Cynone (Ex. Butt. f. 17, 

 1874). Unfortunately Mr. Tepper does not possess the type, 

 but the balance seems in favour of Hewitson. The species is 

 somewhat local and erratic in its appearance; my brother, Mr. 

 Harold Lower, took it very commonly at the Semaphore, South 

 Australia, in March. 



Hesperilla atralba, Tepper. 



Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A. iv. p. 33, t. 2, f. .5, 1881; Telesto dacty- 

 liota, Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. KS.W. (2), ii. p. 831, 1887. 

 It will be seen that Tepper's name has priority. 



Taractrocera flavovittata, Latr. 



Hesperilla Jlavovittata, Latr., Enc. Meth. ix. 768, n. 114, 1819 : 

 Apaustus (^Ancyloxypha) agraulia, Hew., Descr. Hesp. p. 45, n. 3, 

 1868 ; Ollifi; Ann. Mag. N.H. (6), i. p. 360, t. 20, ff. 3, a.b., 1888 : 

 Pamphila sunias, Feld., Sitzb. Ak. Wiss. Wien, Math. Nat. CI. 

 xl. p. 462, n. 54, 1860 : Hesperilla bifasciata, Tepper, Trans. Roy. 

 Soc. S.A. iv. p. 32, t. 2, f. 4, 1881. 



HETEROCERA. 



Agarista albamedia, Lucas. 



P.L.S.N.S.W. (2) vi. 301, 1891 : A. tetraplenra, Meyr., Trans. 

 Roy. Soc. S.A. xiv. 194, 1891. 



Agarista tropica, Lucas. 



P.L.S.N.S.W. (2) vi. 302, 1891 : A. platijxantha, Meyr., Trans. 

 Roy. Soc. S.A. xiv. 195, 1891. 



The descriptions of Lucas and Meyrick were, as will be seen, 

 both published in the same year; but I believe the Linn. Society's 

 Proceedings were published first, consequently I assume Lucas's 

 name has priority.
