£ . Both wings dull purple. Primaries with termen narrowly 

 brown, slightly broader at the apex. Secondaries with costa some- 

 what broadly brown and very narrow brown termen ; termen very 

 slightly crenulate. Under-side like olane, Hew., but the primaries 

 are paler brown, and in the secondaries the spots are smaller and 

 there is no dark suffusion.

The only locality of which we are certain at the present 

 time is Queensland. Mr. Waterhouse informs me that the 

 specimens mentioned by Miskin (1. c.) from W. Australia 

 and Victoria are havitsoni, whilst the ^ in the Australian 

 Museum is a $ amaryllis. Dodd has bred the species 

 plentifully, and he tells me that the full-grown larva? are 

 light yellowish-brown faintly tinged with green, and that 

 he has always found them among or close to communities 

 of ants. The pupa? are dark brown, and are of the usual 

 shape; I have specimens now before me, but there is 

 nothing worthy of note in them. Dodd says they " tick " 

 in the same way as genoveva, only decidedly more slowly 

 and not so loudly.
