cfficincdis (Globe Amaranth) and CentraAithios ruber, flying 

 swiftly in sunlight. 



TllAPEZITES, Huh. 



31. Trap, piiillyra, Miskhi. 



Proc. Roy. Soc. Queensland, p. 152, 1889. 



One fine specimen of this beautiful species at Blackwood in 

 October, not previously recorded from South Australia. 



32. Trap, phigalia. Hew. 



Hesp. p, Desc. Hesp., p. 32, n. 23, 1868. 



I have a specimen doubtfully referable to this species from 

 Port Lincoln. 



33. Trapezites lutea, Tepjj. 



Hesperilla lutea, Tr. Royal Soc. S.A., IV., p. 33, t. 2, f. 6, 

 1882; Trap, petalia, Misk., Ann. Q. Museum, I., 1891, p. 78. 



Two specimens, Slape's Gully, in December. 



Miskin in his 1891 catalogue makes this species synonymous 

 with T. petalia, Hew., while TepjDer himself considers his Hes- 

 perilla quadrimacnlata identical with it {i.e., petalia). I have 

 received a specimen of a male " petalia " from Mr. R. Illidge, 

 of Brisbane, which is certainly distinct from any taken here. 

 My opinion is that Tepper's Hesp. trimaculata is the male of his 

 quadrimacAilata, but in the absence of proper literature I cannot 

 decide the question satisfactorily. The whole of the Hesperidse 

 are in a very unsatisfactory condition, and when my promised 

 literature is at hand, I will give my deliberations to our Society. 



34. Trap, trimaculata, Tepp. 



Hesperilla T., Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A., IV., p. 32, t. 2, f. 4, 1882. 

 Several specimens, oJl males, at Belair, frequently dry rocky 

 ground in November. 



35. Trap, quadrimaculata, Tejyp. 



Tr. Roy. Soc. S.A., IV., p. 32, t. 2, fig. 2, 1881. 



Two females at Blackwood, 11th November, also from Bal- 

 hannah. As before stated, I am of opinion that this and the 

 preceding are sexes of the same species. Not having taken the 

 opposite sex in either case seems more convincing. 



Hesperilla. 

 36. Hesp. Donnysa, Hew. 



Male. Desc. Hesp., p. 39, n. 3, 1868. 



One sp., from Port Lincoln, in December. Not previously 

 recorded from here.
