390 On the Sjuonymy of the Genus Ogyris. 



Ogyrls zosine zenohia, ? form. 



A biio;lit purple female form from Brisbane and tlie 

 liiclimond liiver. 



Ogyris zosine magna. 

 S^'n. zosine araxes. 



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

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

 females the most lustrous greenish blue, the greenest form 

 I know. 



Localities. Brisbane, Sydney, Illawarra, Dimboola. 



I am rather at a loss to know why ^Vaterhouse and Lyell 

 liave included Sydney in their localities, for they say of the 

 female, " Sydney examples are not sufficiently distinct to be 

 se|)arated as another geographical race." 



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

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

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

 if he had been able to refer again to Hewitson's t^-pes and if 

 lie had borne in mind the rules of the International Code 

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

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

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

 and one that no students of the Rhopalocera of that region 

 ought to be without. 



Ogyris hahnaturia, Tepper. 



I only bad 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 

 otaneSy especially on the underside, to justify the use of 

 Tepper's name, and I left it with specitic raidc, with tiie 

 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 halniaiuria being a form 

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

 race of that species.
