802 AUSTRALIAN RHOPALOCERA : LYC^NID^, IV. , 



Ceylon, &c. They are labelled Rockhampton, Darnel." As we 

 know that some at least of Darnel's localities are erroneous, and 

 amongst our series of C. platissa from Queensland we have never 

 yet seen a typical C. strabo, we prefer for the present not to 

 include this latter species in our fauna. 



Para LUCIA gen.nov. 



Forewhig with costa genth^ arched; outer margin nearly 

 straight in the male, somewhat convex in the female ; inner 

 margin straight. Costal nervure ending on costa before end of 

 cell; subcostal three-branched; upper discoidal given off from 

 subcostal well beyond the end of cell. Hincliving with the 

 outer margin drawn out in the male into a blunt tooth-like 

 projection at the submedian, in the female rounded and slightly 

 waved. 



Type Lucia pyrodiscus, Rosenstock. 



This genus is somewhat allied to L^icia, but the blunt tail in 

 the male readily distinguishes it. 



Mr. Druce writes: " I have compared the specimens of L. 

 cenea you send with the type of L. pyrodiscus in the British 

 Museum, and find that it is identical. In the British Museum, 

 the species you call L. aurifer, Blanch., stands under the name 

 of L. hccanus, Fabr., and your L. hicanus, Fabr., under the 

 name L. Hmbaria, Svvainson. The Fabrician type is not in the 

 Banksian Collection, but the Fabrician description appears to me 

 to rather favour your views." 



Even if these two species are incorrectly determined, the 

 names of the genera will not be affected, but only the species 

 included under them. 



The species figured by Blanchard as aurifer will also come into 

 the genus Paralucia. 



Chilades putli, Kollar. 

 Hiigel's Kaschmir, iv. pt. 2, p. 422, 1848. 



Mr. Druce points out that this is the name by which the 

 Australian form of C. trochilus should be known.
