NEW LTC^NIB^ FEOM QUEENSLAND. 

 BT W. II. MISKIN. 



The following notes contain descriptions of two species of 

 this charming family, which will, I think, prove new to science : 

 one of these is a Deudorix, the other a Pseudodlpsas. Both are de- 

 scribed from specimens in my collection, captured by myself, and in 

 perfect condition.
