390 On the Synonymy of the Genus Ogyris. 



Ogyris zosine zenohia, ? form, 



A bright purple female form from Brisbane and the 

 Iliclimond lliver. 



Ogyris zosine magna. 



Syn. zoshie araxes. 



A very distinct race, tlie most distinct that I know both 

 in colour and size — the males being the richest purple and the 

 females tlie most lustrous greenish blue, the greenest form 

 I know. 



Localities. Brisbane, Sydney, Illawarra, Dimboola. 



I am rather at a loss to know why Waterliouse and Lyell 

 liave included Sydney in tlieir localities, for tliey say of the 

 female, " Sydney examples are not sufficiently distinct to be 

 separated as another geographical race." 



It is very many years since my old friend Mr. Waterliouse 

 and I began to correspond, and, knowing as I do the careful 

 and accurate work that he has accomplished, I feel sure that 

 if he had been able to refer again to Hewitson's types and if 

 he had borne in mind the rules of the International Code 

 on nomenchiture, he would not have come to some of the 

 conclusions laid down in tlie recent book, which, in spite of 

 this, is a most valuable contribution on tlie Australian fauna, 

 and one that no students of the Hhopalocera of that region 

 ouo-ht to be without. 



Ogyris halmaturia, Tepper. 



I only had the ^ type of this insect before me, so, of 

 course, could not make the correction the authors refer to ; 

 there were, however, quite sufficient deviations from typical 

 otanes, especially on the underside, to justify the use of 

 Tepper's name, and I left it with specific rank, with the 

 express object of drawing attention to these deviations ; 

 for in the closing sentence of p. 277 of my monograph 

 I broadly hint at the possibility of halmaturia being a form 

 of otanes, Felder, and I am quite willing to concede it as a 

 race of that species.
