ijualified by the requisite knowledge of biological, botanical, and 

 physical science. 



Delias Aganippe, Don. 



I have seen many scores of this species in the early years of 

 the colony, and should be able to distinguish the sexes and 

 varieties. The figure in my "List" does not represent the 

 female, as the comparison with any specimens will show. 



Delias Harpalyce, Don. 



The figure (4, plate iii.. Trans, Roy. Soc, vol. IV.) of this 

 doubtfully inserted species is badly reproduced (the right side 

 best), and, from what I have since learned, cannot represent the 

 above, or stand for the female of D. Aganippe, but more likely 

 either for the following one or an hitherto unrecorded species or 

 subspecies. The drawing was made in 1867 from specimens in 

 my brother's collection before ever I thought of publishing any- 

 thing, and is quite correct. Absent marks do not denote for- 

 gotten details, but absent cliaracters in the specimens. 



Delias Argenthona, Fahr. 



This species was inserted in my list on the high authority of 

 the late Mr. G. F. Angas, who figures the underside in " South 

 Australia Illustrated," jdI. xxxvii., fig. 2, from " the Lakes and 

 the Coorong," and mentions that it and others had been identified 

 by Mr. Doubleday. Surely Mr. Angas's statements are as 

 reliable as anyone's. Intel' alia, it may be remarked the figure 

 on that plate differs considerably in marks and colour from my 

 specimens of the real eastern D. Argenthona, and may not be 

 this, but the kind, which from its upperside representation, I 

 named "Rarpalyce" (female). 



Belexois Perimale, Don. (?). 



A flight of these eastern butterflies occurred in November, 

 1889, and reached Adehxide, but were only about for a few days. 

 Three specimens were secured, and are considerably abraded, as 

 were all others seen flitting about. They resemble £. Teutonia, 

 but the black and yellow of the underside is very much reduced, 

 and the size is less. The original specimens of this species in the 

 Museum are from the White collection and other sources, as 

 hailing from Queensland. The specimens captured in Adelaide, 

 ike, have to be regarded as sporadic wanderers, not as South 

 Australian indigenes. 



Callidryas Pyranthe, Linn. 

 This is undoubtedly another case of sporadic occurrence.
