254 Transactions.— Zoology. 
Under side.—Saffron or cadmium-yellow; the macule of the upper side 
being repeated, but very obscure ; cilia pinkish-orange. 
A. Female.—Similar to the male, except that on the upper side of the 
wings the nervures are more irrorated with black, the basal shade extending 
to the discoidal dots, the dark bands broader (the sub-marginal bands 
especially so), and the macule thereof more united, the maculæ of the 
sub-marginal band having pale-violet lunular pupils very distinct on the 
secondary and less so on the primary wing, the lunules becoming obsolete as 
they approach the costa of the primary wing. In some individuals the 
violet lunules are more or less obsolete or entirely absent. 
The figures B and A respectively represent the upper side of the male 
and the upper side of the female—B representing the body and right wings 
of the male, and A the left wings of the female. Figure 2 represents the 
under side. 
Expanse of wings—1 inch 2 lines. 
Hab. New Zealand. 
Time of appearance : December to March. x 
Frequents grassy places, particularly sunny banks; seems to be 
distributed over most parts of the South Island, for I have met with it in 
all localities I have visited. I cannot say with certainty if it is found in 
the North Island. Mr. Butler, of the British Museum, informs me that the 
female was described by Fabricius as salustius, and by Doubleday as edna, 
and consequently the Fabrieian name salustius, being the earlier, will 
take precedence. Neither Fabricius nor Doubleday mention the violet 
pupils of the macule of the sub-marginal band; but possibly the pupils 
were absent in the specimens they described, for some individuals in my 
possession have the pupils nearly obsolete. 
There is an error in the printing of my former paper,* which materially 
lessens the force of the passage. The word copulá should be in the place of 
* company.”

C. Male.—I can add but little to what I have written in my former 
paper as to the distinctive charaeters of this form, but that the secondary 
wings are more produced and angular at the anal angle than in any of the 
other forms, with the exception perhaps of form E (male), the secondaries 
of which have nearly the same angle; the macule of the sub-marginal 
band are more separated than in the other forms, the two between the sub- 
externo-medial and subinterno-medial nervures of the primaries and the 
three nearest the anal angle of the secondary wings being very conspicuous 
and somewhat rounded, the others being more or less obsolete in different
