HESPERIDJS.— cyCLOPIDES. 



HESPERILLA DIRPHIA. 1, 2, 3. 



HesperilJa Dirphia. Ilewitson. Desc. of Hesperidcn, p. 38. 



Upperside. Male rufous-ljrown. Anterior wing with four seraitransparent spots : 

 the first in the cell, the second outside of this (sometimes bifid) and two near the 

 apex : the black linear mark of the male. Posterior wing with one white spot before 

 the middle. 



Underside as above except that the anterior wing has two additional white 

 spots below the second spot and is without any spots near the apex : that the posterior 

 wing has the white spot very distinct and below it three minute black spots sometimes 

 dotted with white. 



Female like the male except that the anterior wing has three subapical spots and 

 one near the inner margin. 



Exp. 1-1% inch. Hab. Australia (Swan River). 



In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 



I owe my thanks to Dr. Herrich-Schaffer for so well figuring several species from my " Descriptions 

 of Hesperidse." He has however fallen into error (in which he has been followed by Mr. Kirby in 

 his list) in considering my H. Dirphia to be the same species as H. Douhledayi which is only half the 

 size, and is without the conspicuous white spot on the underside of the posterior wing. I do not 

 understand why Mr. Kirby (as it appears to me he does) always adopts as correct the last alteration of a 

 butterfly's name. 



HESPERILLA HALYZIA. 4, 5, 6. 

 Hesperilla Halyzia. Hewitson. Desc. of Hesperida, p. 38. 



Upperside dark brown : the fringe white, spotted with brown on the anterior 

 wing. Anterior wing with three central transparent spots. 



Underside cinereous, excej^t the lower half of the anterior wing which is dark 

 brown. Posterior wing crossed by some very indistinct brown spots beyond the 

 middle. 



Female like the male except that it has the subapical spots of the anterior 



wmg. 



Exp. 1-1% inch. Hab. Austraha (Port Denison). 



In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 



This species is without the mark peculiar to the male. 



HESPERILLA DONNYSA. 7. 

 Hesperilla Donnysa. Hewitson. Desc. of Hesjierida, -p. 39. 



Upperside. Male. Anterior wing rufous-brown, with six transparent yellow 

 spots : a small opaque spot near the inner margin and the black line indicative of the 

 male. Posterior wing dark brown, with a central trifid orange spot. 



Underside grey. Anterior wing with the basal half dark brown : a ray of 

 yellow from the base to the first transparent spot : the inner margin yellow below its 

 middle. Posterior wing with a minute black spot before the middle, followed by a 

 straight band of several similar spots. 



Exp. l-jo inch. Hab. Australia (Moreton Bay). 



In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 



Very much like H. Pkta and H. ornata above though totally different below.
