Rhopalocera from the Australian region. 181 
chrysalis changes to a deep reddish brown, and just 
before disclosure the markings of the wings are plainly 
visible. 
The larve feed on various kinds of palms, Kentia 
Fosteriana (a native of Lord Howe’s Island), Seaforthia 
elegans, Arica sapida, Phanix reclinata, different species 
of Chamerops, &c., and they feed only at night. I also 
met with this butterfly im the Botanical Gardens, 
Brisbane, at Thursday Island, and the Duke of York 
Islands. 
Pamphila angustula, H.-S. 
This species was very common at Fiji. The males 
were far more numerous than the females. It occurred 
in paths through the forest, in sugar plantations, and 
wherever there was plenty of coarse grass or sedge, upon 
which, as well as upon sugar-cane, the larvee feed. 
The full-crown larva is from 28 to 30 mm. long, 
rather slender, cylindrical, and tapers towards each 
extremity ; head smaller than the second segment, sub- 
cordate, somewhat porrected, dull greenish olive, and 
very minutely punctured; ocelli black; general colour 
pale yellowish green inclining to whitish; dorsal, sub- 
dorsal, and a series of lateral lines dull greenish blue ; 
ventral area darker; spiracles very minute, yellowish ; 
legs and claspers pale greenish ; most of the segments, 
particularly the second, third, and fourth, more or less 
transversely wrinkled. It feeds between the united 
leaves of various coarse grasses and sugar-cane, and 
when full-grown fastens the blades more firmly together, 
sometimes closing both ends with a fine web; within 
this it spins a pad of silk for the reception of the anal 
hooks, encircles its anterior segments with a thread, and 
then undergoes its change. 
The chrysalis is somewhat elongate and tapers slightly 
towards the anal extremity. The head has a con- 
spicuously pointed and rather curved rostrum, the eyes 
are prominent, and the thoracic segments well-defined ; 
general colour pale grass-green, with two whitish dorsal 
abdominal lines; tip of rostrum and anal point slightly 
rosy. 
Netrocoryne repanda, Feld. (Pl. VI., fig. 5). 
This butterfly occurs in several localities near Sydney, 
but does not appear to be very common. It flies rather
