 The "Zoological Record" for 1891 accepts it. 



The type male and female of H. (P.) caeruleolactea from "hills beyond 

 Duaringa" are in our collection. 



Candalides cyprotus, Olliff. 

 Two male specimens, taken by the late Mr. E. Guest at Halbury in Sep- 

 tember, are a new record for South Australia. 



Lampides translucens, Lucas. 



Holochila (Polyommatus) translucens, Lucas, Butterflies and Moths, Brisbane, 1891, p. 1. 



The type (a male) of this species is in our collection. It is said to have 

 been taken by Lieutenant Lucas on the North Australian coast. It is a Lampides 

 allied to L. elpis, Godart, of India. 



Ogyris zosine. Hew. 



The synonymy of this species and its races has become somewhat complicated 

 and needs elucidating. The synonymy is detailed here so as to facilitate 

 reference : —

Hewitson (1853) described and figured the male as Ogyris sosine, and on 

 the same page and plate the female as O. genoveva, without giving a definite 

 locality for his types. Subsequently (1862) he figured the under-surface of a 

 male, in error, as that of the female of O. sosine. Kirby (1871) catalogued 

 O. sosine and O. genoveva as distinct species, giving "Australia" as the locality 

 for the former and "Moreton Bay" for the latter. Miskin (1883) described and 

 figured both sexes of the species under the name of O. genoveva, giving the 

 localities as "Brisbane; Dawson River (Barnard); Queensland," and described 

 and figured a violet form of the female as "var. a.. Female." Again in 1890 

 he gave the synonymy in his revision of the genus. W^aterhouse (1903), in his 

 tabulation of synonymy, pointed out that strictly O. sosine had priority over 

 O. genoveva.. 



In 1905, Bethune-Baker, in his review of the genus, assuming the privilege 

 of first reviewer, corrected the name of the species to O. sosine, and recorded
