54 MST OF BUTTERFLIES OF THE BRISBANE DISTRICT. 



IJi/j)iici/stn XLi'tirim, liutl. — A frequenter of the open glades 

 iincl borders of the scrubs ; is very partial to the flowers of the 

 wild Raspberry. 



Hi/jKKi/ata A)itiiiii.s, Jiiitl. — This species is found in the 

 gullies and damper wooded parts of the forests, and is sufliciently 

 distinct from the foregoing. 



Hi/poct/sta Kinriun, Bntl. — Appears only to differ from 

 Antirius in the number of ocelli on the hindwings, otherwise in 

 form and colour it is the exact counterpart of that insect. 



Hi/jioci/sUi Iiiu!i, Fahr. — Is at once distinguishable from all 

 the above by its greater size, and from the tawny bands also 

 appearing in the fore-wings. Its haunts are the gullies amongst 

 the hills, but occasionally it may be taken on the borders of 

 scrubs and banks of creeks. 



YjitliiiiiK Antuits, Ftihr. — Especially common in the Casua- 

 rina forests and on the banks of shady forest creeks, also borders 

 of scrubs. 



STIB-FAM. : ACRAEIN.E. 



Arnnii Atulronidi/iii, ludtr. — Abundant almost everywhere 

 especially where the food plants — Passiflone- — grow. 



SUB-FAM. : XYMPHAJ^IN.K. 



Mesai/noi Piti.sopr, Fnhr. — Formerly not uncommon, it 7nust 

 now be classed amongst ovir rarities. Have taken it several 

 times in my garden at ]>uliml)a, on each occasion settling on 

 Flacourtia cataphracta. 



Ari/jfnnis Inroiistinis, Jintl. — An insect of extreme rarity 

 ul)out Brisbane, and I only know of one or two specimens ha\ing 

 been taken. 



I'linttihis Itra, Fnhr. — Wherever the connnon stinging nettle 

 (its food plant) abounds, there at seasons favouralde to its 

 appearance, will we find this butterfly. One year, perhaps, in 

 great abundance ; then for several years somewhat rare, sc:arcely 

 one being obtainable. 



I'l/rniihi.s Krr.s/iiiiri, J/r^ '(»//, — The remarks as to ai)pcai'ance 

 ■of Itea are e(pially applicable to this insect. Its larva may be 

 found on Galinsoga pai'viflora an<l other connnon garden weeds. 



.lntuini<t Alhicinctn, llntl.— Another of oni- rare insects, 1 

 know of l)ut few taken here. Have seen it at Kehin (irove. Itut
