fore the pupil, the spot at the anal angle brown, marked with 
pale rose-colour in the place of the carmine of the upper surface. 
Head dark brown, white posteriorly ; antenne pale brown; 
palpi white. 
Thorax brown above, paler below ; anterior legs white, posterior 
pale brown. 
Abdomen brown, pale below. 
Tn the collection of the British Museum. Presented by Mrs. 
J. P. F. Smith. 
This beautiful species is closely allied to H. Andromeda, but is 
readily distinguished by its immaculate anterior wings and the 
brilliant blue patch of the posterior. 
Genus ARGYROPHENGA. 
Manxille rather long, slender. 
Labial palpi long, porrect, divergent, the basal joint short, the 
second joint very long, both densely clothed with long hairs ; third 
joint not quite so long as, and slenderer than, the second, densely 
clothed with hairs of moderate length. 
Antenne short, gradually tapering to a compressed blunt club. 
Anterior wings rather elongate, subtriangular, anal angle 
rounded ; the subcostal, median and radial nervules slightly di- 
lated at the base, the first median nervule thrown off at the end 
of the cell. Posterior wings obovate. 
This genus is closely allied to Hrebia, and from Mr. Earl’s ae- 
count of its habits, they seem much to resemble those of the sub- 
alpine species of that genus. The elongate palpi and short an- 
tenne give it at first sight the appearance of Libythea, but there 
does not appear to be any real affinity between them. The sil- 
very markings below suffice alone to distinguish it from all the 
other Satyride, giving it a resemblance to the Argynnide. 
A. Antipodum. A. alis omnibus fusco-brunneis, plaga, magna pone 
medium rufa, in qua in alis anticis ocellus niger albo bipupillatus, 
in posticis tres vel quatuor unipupillati, posticis subtus ochraceo- 
brunneis, vittis novem longitudinalibus argenteis (¢). Exp. alar, 
2 unc. vel 50 millim. 
Hab. Nova Zealandia. 
Anterior wings fuscous brown, the base and costa thickly 
sprinkled with paler scales and hairs, with a large fulvous patch 
beyond the cell, oceupying the whole dise of the outer half of the 
wings, and in some specimens almost attaining the inner margin, 
in which, near the middle of its anterior margin, is a large black 
ocellus with two snow-white pupils. Posterior wings coloured 
as the anterior, the fulvous patch with a series near its outer mar- 
gin of three or fowr black ocelli pupilled with snow-white. Be- 
low, the anterior wings are much paler at the base and along the
