In his “ Revision of the Australian Hesperide ” * Mr. Os- 
wald B. Lower makes aliv of Plotz a synonym to Bibla 
papyria of Boisduval t—from Plétz’s description, I presume ; 
Fruhstorfer, in his monograph of the Hesperide in ‘ Iris,’ 
1910 and 1911, omits it altogether. In 1908 I was fortunate 
enough to obtain the loan of Plétz’s six volumes, containing 
his unpublished figures of the Hesperide, through the kind- 
ness of Director Robert Erhardt, of Munich—all hand-coloured 
excellent figures. I sent Mr. Lower copies of those relating 
to Australia, but, unfortunately, the copy of aliz was omitted. 
I kept copies by Mr. Horace Knight of all the Indo-Malayan 
species, and amongst them I find a copy of ali from New 
Holland; it is identical with Jlasciwa, which is in my 
museum from Waverley in New Zealand and from Cairns in 
Queensland, where it appears to be quite common, and which 
I have compared with Rosenstock’s type in the British 
Museum. Lower says (p. 153) that he sent specimens of 
lascivia to Professor Mabille, who returned them as his 
Padraona neocles.
