22 ON EHOPALOCERA FROM MT. KOSCIUSKO, N. S. AvALES, 



Mt. Kosciusko (5-6,000 feet) in March ; a considerable number 

 were taken flying over a low-growing shrub, Correa laiurenciayia, 

 Hk., upon which Mr. Helms is convinced, and I think with 

 reason, the larva of the butterfly will be found to feed. 



This somewhat variable species is often without the minute 

 extra white-centred ocellus in front of the ordinary ocellus of the 

 forewing, and occasionally the band on the underside of the hind- 

 wing, which usually extends continuously from the costa to above 

 the anal angle, is broken and slightly separated at vein five. It is 

 evident that it is allied to X. orichora ; but the veins at the base 

 of the hindwings are not marked with ochreous-whitish streaks 

 as they are said to be in that species, nor is the inner margin 

 ochreous-whitish. Tn these two points it also difi'ers from X. 

 Jathoniella, and what is more it does not agree with either in 

 having the spots at the base of the hindwings fulvous, or in the 

 general disposition of the markings, particularly of those on the 

 upperside of the forewings. 



9. Heteronympha philerope, Boisd. 



Moonbar (3-3,500 feet), Mt. Kosciusko (5,000 feet). 



Apparently this species has a wide range; it is found in North- 

 West Australia, and throughout the Southern colonies, and 

 recently I have seen specimens from Lord Howe Island. 



10. Heteronympha merope, Fabr. 

 Jindabyne (3,000 feet). 



11. Heteronympha cordage, Hiibn. 

 Moonbar (3-3,500 feet). 



12. Zeritis discifera, Herr.-Sch. 

 Moonbar (3-3,500 feet). 



13. Lampides alsulus, Herr.-Sch. 



Jindabyne (3,000 feet), Moonbar (3-3,500 feet), Mt. Kosciusko 

 (5,000 feet). 



The specimens from the higher elevations are exceedingly small.
