96 LIBT OF BUTTERFLIES OF THE BRISBANE DISTRICT. 



it is very rare now, whereas twenty years back at the former phice 

 one might take a dozen or more specimens in an hour. 



Danis Tdi/iictus, l-\h1. — This is at times a common bnttertly 

 both in the scrubs, forest, and gardens around the town. 



Ldiitpides PsriiildCdfisius, Mnrratf. — Wherever Phimbag'o 

 grows this insect is sure to be abundant ; the larva feeds on the 

 flowers. 



Lampides Pnusia, FchL — A scrub buttei'fly not uncommon; 

 comes to flowers in gardens occasionally and is partial to lo(|uat 

 blossoms. 



Lampidcs Lincdtfi, Miiina/. — Another scrul) insect of similar 

 habits to preceding. 



Lawpides Stnilm, luihr. — This pretty light blue is partial to 

 the flowers of the wild raspberry on the borders of creeks and 

 scrubs, but may also l)e taken on flowers far from both ; it is by 

 no means common round Brisbane. 



Ldinpidcs Annini, l-\ld. — Also found on the borders of scrubs, 

 but is far from common. 



Ldwpidfs Sci)ttilliitd, J.unis. — This well-marked species 

 which is not uncommon appears to have been overlooked until 

 1889, when it was described by Dr. Lucas. The larva feeds 

 upon flowers of Acacia, and when these trees are in bloom they 

 may be observed in company with others flitting rapidly al)out. 

 Have taken the perfect insect on flowers of loquat at Bulimba. 



Lampidf's Xoni, I'Vld. — Also fairly common on the blossoms 

 of the Acacia, and likewise partial to those of the loquat, the 

 flowers of which are attractive to many fine insects. 



Lampides liiH-tirux, Linn. — This almost cosmopolitan insect 

 is an abundant species wherever its food plants, various species 

 of leguminious plants grow, especially Crotalaria alata. 



Lmnpides Pxu-Jdis, CniDi. — A scarce species round Brisbane ; 

 it maybe taken in gardens occasionally, especially where Duranta 

 grows. 



Ldinpidis (hiiiiii/rd. Liirds. — W . H. Miskin considers tliis 

 identical with Bochus, but as it appears to me to be distinct I 

 include it here, though it may prove the other sex of Bochus. 



Ldnipidi's I'di-didi, llnrsf. — A not uncommon species in our 

 scrubs, but comes to various garden flowers, loquat, Duranta, etc.
