land, in October and February. The 9 does not differ from 

 the d in markings; the tf appears to have an indistinct 

 cos tar fold. In some specimens it may appear more perfectly 

 developed. Should such prove to be the case, the species will 

 be required to be placed in casyapa. The present species is 

 very similar to the New Guinea species, Kallima, Swinh. 

 (A.M.N.H. (7), xx., p. 430, 1907, and T.E.S., p. 3, pi. i., 

 fig. 1, 1908), but differs by the presence of the yellow patch 

 on termen of hind wings. The type of porphyrons came from 

 Johnstone River, North Queensland.

 mens bred at Kuranda, North Queensland ; between November 

 .and March. 



The larvae feed on CaUicoma ser rati folia, Elceocarpus 

 cyanea, and E. reticulatus.

 wings in male without characters; 5 parallel to 4 and 6,

Note. — Since writing the above I submitted authentic 

 specimens of Tagiades gamelia, Misk., to Colonel Swinhoe, 

 who returned them as louisa, Swinh. The same specimen was
