R. Illidge's name is commemorated in the motli 
genus Ulidgea (Turner), and in the specific names of 
other insects, e.g., the Lycaenid butterfly Lalmenus 
illidgie (Lucas, 1889 — I. dameli (Semper, 1889); Arr- 
hodia (?) illidgei, Lucas (1893), Lep. Monocteniadae ; 
Hybrenia illidgei (Carter, 1927); Col. Cistelidae; and 
Megapsychops illidgei (Froggatt, 1903) ; Tillyard, 
1918. Neuropt. Planipennia. The last named is 
an extraordinary insect, not only in form, livery, 
and structure, but — as pointed out by Dr. 
Tillyard — a very ancient insect survivor that 
has undergone only the slightest modification since 
Triassic times, as shown on comparison by him with a 
fossil insect met with in our Ipswich beds of that geo- 
logical period and designated Archepsychops triassica, 
Tillyard, 1919. 
R. Illidge’s departure from amongst us was finally 
sudden, though for weeks his condition had been that 
of an invalid and of a sufferer; but it was only a few 
days before his passing away, when he was dilating 
to the writer on the beauty of those special Flower 
Beetles — the Centonidae — that he loved to the last. 
He was interred in the Toowong Cemetery on Wed- 
nesday, February 20th, many of his old friends amongst 
the members of the Club following him to his grave. 
One recalled on the occasion the words of the poetess 
who sang: — 
Ay, men may wonder while they scan 
A living, 'thinking, feeling man 
Confirmed in such a rest to keep; 
But angels say, and through the word 
I think their happy smile is heard, 
“He giveth His beloved sleep.” — E.B.B. 
HENRY TRYON.
