98 LIST OF BUTTERFLIES OF THE BRISBANE DISTRH'T. 



and young leaves are attacked l)_y the caterpillars, the l)iids espe- 

 cially being eaten right out. The chrysalis is an exact imitation 

 of the knob left by a leaf which has fallen off. The catei-pillar 

 also affects Sterculia and other trees. 



Hiiln</iil(( Ci/jirdtiis, Oil. — A very rare species, the larv.e of 

 which feed upon .Tacksonia, from which I was fortunate enough 

 to rear specimens of both sexes. It is a hill species, and may l)e 

 looked for either in September or October, or from INIarch to ^lay. 

 Taylor's Range is a likely locality, though my reared specinums 

 were obtained on Sankey's Hill. 



HoIorJiilii Hi'df/iil, ( 'ii.r. — Another rare local species found 

 upon the hills. 



Holoc/iilii X<intliiisjiil,i\, IJiiliti. — A common insect along the 

 creeks and on the borders of SAvamps, also in the forest. 



ILildc/iild AUidsi'iinit, Misk. — Expedition Range is the only 

 locality given by W. H. Miskin for this species, but as I know it 

 to have been taken abundantly on Stradbroke Island, near 

 Dunwich, I include it amongst those within our range. There is 

 something remarkable about this species as to locality so far as 

 our present knowledge goes. 



Hi/jjoiliti/sDp.s Ltiiitii, Lr/ii/i. — This is usually found about 

 the margins of the scrubs, but is also to be met with in the forest 

 undergrowth, for I saw it in considerable plenty at ^faidy, and 

 have also noted it on Stradbroke Island ; it is rare about 

 Brisbane. 



Jii/jMir/irtinnps Xdirissiis, Fiilif. — To luy knowledge, this was 

 an uncommon species at J^noggera in former years, but it now 

 appears to have almost disappeared from amongst us. Occurs, 

 however, at Stradbroke Island still. 



Hi//)<)i/iri/s(i/i.<i J'^iiiriinis, ^Jish■. — -Appears to me but the other 

 sex, or a slight variety of Narcissus, from an examination of the 

 types. 



J/i/ji()rliii/siiji>; Pflicid, Heir. — Appears to be attached to 

 Acacia. Have taken it in the park near the Hospital, on various 

 loAV hills, and also at flowers of the Leptospennum llavesceus. 



F.st'Utiti(Upst(s Brislttincusis, 3z/,s7>-, — The only known specimen 

 of this appears to be that in the Miskin collection in the Queens- 

 land Museum.
