100 LIST OF BITTERFLIEH OF THK BRISBANE DISTRICT. 



silken threads, and remains quiescent during the day, only issuing- 

 out at night. Some specimens I had in the garden on a camphor 

 laurel, and which "svere protected by mosquito netting bound round 

 the twigs, lived through the Avinter, changing in September and 

 emerging in October. A second brood will change in February 

 or March and be on the wing in from a fortnight to three weeks 

 later. It is most active at dusk. 



C'lKi/iijiK D('nit::i(, Heiv. — Have only captured this species ; 

 it is also crepuscular in habits. The tlowers of Buddleia 

 Xeemdha in September and of the loquat in March and April are 

 a great attraction. In the scrubs it may occasionally be seen 

 perched on or under a leaf. I am inclined to believe, from the 

 partiality of this insect to Tristania, that the larva will be found 

 thereon. 



(_'iisi/aji/i Crifoiindid, (juir. — In the Miskiu collection at the 

 Queensland Museum as a Brisbane insect. 



'Setnn-onjHi' Ucjxntdti, Frhl. — Seems to prefer the creek sides 

 where the Eugenia grows ; it is a scarce species. 



hiiinir Clmniius, Cnnii. — A lather uncommon species, but 

 have taken it several times in the garden on Duranta. The 

 scrubs at Sankey's. Eagle Farm, Kelvin Grove, etc., are localties 

 where it can be captured. 



I.siiirnr JUscnlnr, Frhl. — The haunts of this insect are the 

 borders of scrubs ; it is abundant at Eagle Farm and other 

 scrubs along the coast. A rare visitor to our gardens. 



hiiinir ]-'.ril(i)iintl<i)tis, Falir. — Taken by me at Kelvin Grove 

 about twenty years ago ; still have one specimen out of several 

 captured ; hitherto only recorded from the north ; the official 

 collection, Department of Agriculture, contains specimens also 

 procured in vicinity of Brisbane since Spring of last year.
