Danis syrius ]\Iiskin. 



Proo. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, 1890, p. 34 (N. Queensland): D. 

 apollonnis Waterhonse, (nee Felder), I.e. 1903, p. 147 (C. York). 



I have again examined the types of this species in the Queens- 

 land Museum. They are in very poor condition, and I find they 

 are both males, and not a male and a female, as Miskin supposed. 

 In these Proceedings for 1903 (p. 149), I suggested that these 

 examples might be identical with the species I then recorded as D. 

 apollonius; I am now quite convinced that this is so, and as tlie 

 larger Cape York Banis is distinct from typical B. apollonius 

 from New Guinea, Miskin's name must stand. One of the speci- 

 mens in the Miskin Collection is labelled C. York. 



Danis sai.amandri Macleay. 



Proc. Ent. Soc. N. S. Wales, 1866, i., p. liv.(C. York) : B. Mac- 

 leayi Semper, Journ. Mus. Godf., Lep., p. 154, 1878 (C. York). 



Further examples of this species have reached me from Cape 

 York, and they show tliat Semper was right in separating it from 

 B. taygetus Felder. The name salamandri is the older one. and 

 tliough the specimen in the Macleay Museum is in too poor condi- 

 tion to clearly show its distinctions from B. taygetus, its locality is 

 sufficient to prove its identity. 



Miletus euclides Miskin, 



Hypochrysops euclides Miskin, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, 

 1888, p. 1517(Gippsland, loc. err.) : Miletus meleagris Waterhouse, 

 I.e. 1903, p. 270 (Cardwell). 



I have shown* that, misled by an erroneous locality, I redescribed 

 this rare species. It is known only from Cardwell, Kuranda, and 

 Port Douglas, all Northern Queensland localities.
