110 THE VICTORIAN NATURALIST. 



L. de Niceville wrote us that he had seen the type and that it 

 was identical with Pamphila ulama, Butler, which is the female 

 of Erynnis sperthias, Felder. 



Pamphila rectivitta, Mab., Petit. Nouv., ii., p. 237, 1878, 

 described from Celebes and Australia (?), is now given in 

 Wystman's " Genera Insectorum, Hesperidae " (p. 141), by 

 Mabille as simply Celebes, and consequently leaves our lists. 



Besperilla eaclis, Mab., Contes Rendus Soc. Ent. Belg., vol. 

 xxvii., 1883, p. Ixiii., Australia (male, female), is a synonym of 

 Baracus vittatus, Felder, a common hill species in Ceylon, and 

 certainly not Australian. 



Carystus vallio, I.e., p. Ix., New Holland. — The description 

 agrees very well with the female of Hesperilla doubledayi, 

 Felder, but, considering the genus used, and that no indication is 

 given of size or sex, we can only sink the name, with some doubt. 



Pamphila impar, I.e., p. Ixvi., one female from Australia or 

 Oceania. The description is extremely vague and poor, and the 

 locality is too doubtful for us to retain the name on our lists. 



Hypoleucis indusiata, p. cxiii., Pamphila nox, p. clxviii., 

 Proteides leucopogon, p. cxi., op. cit., vol. xxxv., 1891, are all 

 described from Victoria. These are African species, and the name 

 Victoria refers to the old mission station of that name on the 

 Cameroon coast. 



Hesperilla atrax, I.e., p. Ixxxi., Australia. — This is undoubtedly 

 the female H. compacta, Butl. (scepticalis, Rosenstock). 



Hesperilla saxula, I.e., p. Ixxxi., Cooktown. — Mabille now gives 

 the locality as Costa Rica ! (See Wystman's " Genera Insectorum, 

 Hesperidse," p. 132). 



Hesperilla melissa. I.e., p. Ixxxi. (male, female), Sydney. — The 

 male is probably intended for male H. eompacta, Butl., with 

 which the description agrees very well as to the size and upper 

 side, but we cannot feel any certainty about this identification. 



Hesperilla satulla. I.e., p. Ixxxii. (female), Cooktown, is a 

 synonym of H. crooeus, Miskin. 



Pamphila neocles, I.e., p. clxxvii., Cooktown, we think we 

 rightly identify as Apaustus laseivia, Rosenstock. 



Pamphila sigida, I.e., p. clxxvii., Australia, is almost certainly 

 Hesperilla fulgida, Miskin. 



Pamphila lagon. I.e., p. clxxxii., Cooktown, we cannot recognize. 

 Tagiades australiensis. I.e., p. Ixxii., is identical with T.gamelia, 

 Miskin, which we think doubtfully identical with T. janetta, 

 Butler. 



Toxidia thyrrhus. I.e., p. Ixxx., Cooktown. — Though a male is 

 described, the description would do fairly well for the female of 

 H. bathrophora, Meyrick and Lower. Mabille is careful to avoid 

 any mention of the presence or otherwise of a discal stigma in 

 this description, as well as in all others noticed in this paper.
