2 . Coloribus fere Meropes, alae autem magis elongatae, anticae costa 

 magis convexa, area apicali nigro-fusca, maculis flavis minoribus, 

 nee cum colore basali confusis ; macula subocellari nivea ; ocello 

 subapicali indistincto : alae subtus area apicali magis fulvescente, 

 litura discoidea distincta ; area apicali uigrescente ; posticae magis 

 fuscescentes, costae medio paulum elevato et uigrescente. 



Hab. Australia ( ? , B.M.). 



This species J is closely allied to Merope, but differs from it in 

 many important particulars. Mr. Doubleday, however, placed 

 it first in his enumeration of the specimens of Merope in the 

 National Collection. It is stated, in his List, to have been pre- 

 sented by General Hardwicke.

Hab, New Holland (S, B.M.). 



Lasiommata Satricus of Mr. Doubleday^s ' Genera,' although 

 it bears a general resemblance, on the upperside, to the males of 



* The type is in the Banksian Collection. 



t Dr. Boisduval, Guerin, and Westwood have agreed in considering this 

 to be the female of Klugii (which belongs to another genus). I have 

 lately seen specimens of Philerope in Mr. Bates's collection, and have no 

 doubt that they are males of the insect in the British Museum collection.
