402 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Lyc<sna Serpentata (Her.-Schaffer). — Very abundant on a 

 small patch of lucerne at Woodside, near Port Adelaide; 

 also one solitary specimen at Nairne. 



Hesperilla Dirphia (Hew,). — A k\\ near Hahndorf. 



Hesperia Pliigalia (Hew.). — A few near Nairne ? or 

 Adelaide ? 



The species not hitherto described or named are as 

 follows : — 



1 . Lyccena Heathi, n. sp. Male expands 1 in. 10 lin. ; female, 

 1 in. 1 lin. to 1 in. 4 lin. Male. — Dark lilac-purple, with the 

 veins pale brown. Female. — Slaty brown, with a central 

 pale purplish blotch, extending to the inner margin. The 

 veins brownish. Under side brilliant grayish white, tinged 

 with blue, with no markings, except a marginal row of 

 minute black dots, which in some specimens are scarcely 

 visible. Fringe unspotted. Local. Mount Barker. Novem- 

 ber to January. 



2. Lyccena Acasfa,n.s]y. Expands 10 lin. Dark inky purple, 

 shot with copper colour. Under side gray, with several rows 

 of indistinct brown spots. A large indistinct brown blotch 

 near the anal angle of both wings. Fringe unspotted. 

 Scarce. " Bremer Ranges," and near Kanmanloo. No- 

 vember. 



3. Taractrocera Ceheiio, n.sp. ? Expands 1 in. 2 lin. "Very 

 nearly allied to T. Papyria (a Tasmanian species) in every 

 respect, with the exception of the band in the hind wings, 

 which is very much narrower and brighter in my South 

 Australian specimens. Scarce. Near Nairne. April and 

 November. 



[These three new species were exhibited at the meeting of 

 the South London Entomological Society on the 10th of 

 A pril. — Edward Newwan.} 



Note. — Lycana Phoebe. — In the first part of my captures 

 (Entom. vi. 209) I used this name, which has led to numerous 

 entomologists writing to me, to know where and how I got 

 this name, and on whose authority it is so named. 1 can 

 only reply by saying that Mr. Janson gave it to me. 

 On subsequent enquiry I find it is a manuscript name in the 

 British Museum collection.
