24 A REVISION OP THE AUSTRALIAN GENUS OGYRIS, 



does from a more southerly latitude (Adelaide). Felder's figures 

 would do for the ^, and the dark violet form of the $. 



O. Orontas, Hew. 



Cat. Lye. B.M. p. 2, n. 9, t. 1, f. 8, 9 (1862). 



• Hewitson's figure is of the ^, not the ^, as stated. The 

 .^ is similar to the ^, rather larger, and with a dull white sub- 

 apical patch. Specimens of both sexes are contained in the 

 collection of the Australian Museum, Sydney. This species is, 

 next to Genoveva, the largest of the genus. 



0. Idmo, Hew. 



Cat. Lye. B.M. p. 2, n. 7, t. 1, f. 3, 4 (1862"). 

 Hewitson's figure and description is of the ^. 



(J. Upperside. — Uniform brown with slight purplish hue, 

 narrowly margined outwardly with black ; fringes white, alter- 

 nated with black spots. Underside. — Primaries : Discal and 

 disco-cellular areas black ; base of wing, costal border, and apical 

 areas light grey; rest of wing darker grey; a double silvery-blue 

 short transverse band within and at about middle of cell ; another 

 arched one also within and near end of cell ; a broad very light 

 band beyond end of cell, reaching from costa to first median 

 branch ; a light brown submarginal macular line from apex not 

 reaching to hinder angle. Secondaries : Light grey, rather 

 darker at base, and crossed transversely with numerous parallel 

 waving dark brown lines. Thorax and abdomen, above and 

 , beneath, dark brown. ♦ 



Exp. 52 mm. My ^'s are 48 and 52 mm., respectively. 



My specimens are from South Australia and Victoria. Hewit- 

 son gives Swan River as the habitat ; it must consequently have 

 a wide range.
