HETERONYMPHA; ENODIA. By H. Fruhstorfer.

black apical patch, which is divided into two halves by a yellow stripe. Hindwing brown, in the middle 
with a yellowish band sharply directed basad, below which are placed two very small black eye-spots. 
17. Genus: Heteronympha Wallengr. (= Hipparchioides Btlr.). 
The few species of this sharply defined and handsome genus resemble Xenica in colouring, and hence 
again our Pararge megera, and are distinguished by their sexual dimorphism. In contrast to Xenica all the 
three principal veins of the forewing are thickened. Heteronympha differs from Xenica and the other allied 
genera of the Satyrus group chiefly in the regularity of the closing veins of the short cell of the hindwing. 
All the known species inhabit Australia and Tasmania. 
H. merope F. (= oenomais Hbn., archemor Goclt.) (94 b) is an extremely common species, occurring me rope. 
in many thousands; its sexual heteromorphism is illustrated by the figures. But like Xenica, merope is also 
an extremely constant species, which may indicate its great geological antiquity and the consequent fixity 
of its development. Except that the transverse band of the $$ is at times somewhat more or somewhat less 
strongly developed and the red-brown colour very slightly lighter or darker, long series show no deviation 
from the normal. Under surface of the $<$ uniform grey-brown with, some fine red-brown undulate lines 
on the hindwing; underside of the hindwing in the $$ sand-coloured, grey, with a darker shade across the 
middle. From South Australia to Southern Queensland. — stiffusa Skuse , from Victoria and New South suffusa. 
Wales, appears to belong to a dry-season form; it is only reported from Victoria. — duboulayi Btlr. is a West dubonlayi. 
Australian local race, only known to me from Butler’s description, who separates it on account of the some¬ 
what differently shaped wings and the altered position of the bands and lines, the smaller ocelli of the 
forewing and the larger of the hindwing. Under surface of the hindwing with only one small eye-spot. - 
salazar subsp. nov. is a small and dark island race which Butler recorded from Tasmania as long ago as saluzar. 
1866. — Larva brownish, on tufts of grass, hiding by day at the roots; pupa in a loose cocoon on the earth. 
H. philerope Bdv., occurring from West Australia to Victoria and New South Wales, also known from philerope. 
Tasmania, is very nearly allied to merope, the $ only differing in the more longitudinal instead of horizontal 
black bands on the forewing, which are at the same time purer black and more sharply defined. The $ bears 
three subapical patches instead of one and a broad, black, continuous border, to the hindwing, only in the 
median part deeply excised, with fine black undulate lines beyond the cell and a narrow distal border, which 
sends out a black tooth towards the middle of the second median. Under surface, as in merope, with blackish 
shading in the middle of the rvings. 
H. mirifica Btlr. (= digglesi Misk.), occurring from Sydney to Brisbane, but very rare in European mirifica. 
collections, is a conspicuous species with black upper surface. Forewing traversed by a twice angled yellow- 
brown band and with a not very large, nearly quadrate subapical spot. Hindwing with a small, white-dotted 
subanal ocellus. Under surface as above, but with the apical part of the forewing finely marbled. Hind¬ 
wing beneath as in merope, but with two very small subanal ocelli. 
H. banksi Leech (= gelanor Godt., affinis Luc.) is only known to me from Godart, who again knew banksi. 
only the $. Waterhouse gives New South Wales, Victoria and Brisbane as localities. Upper surface brown- 
black with yellowish patches. The forewing bears six, namely two subapical and four obliquely placed in the 
disc. The hindwing bears five, a very large subanal ocellus, above which are placed, four smaller ones nearer 
to the distal margin. Under surface of the forewing with a small apical ocellus on an ash-grey ground-colour. 
Hindwing glossy grey-violet with two small subanal ocelli. 
H. paradelpha Lower, from the southern provinces of Australia, is described in an Australian perio- paradclpha. 
dical to which I have not access and is unknown to me in nature. 
H. cordace Hbn., described, and figured about 1832 in the ,,Zutrage“, is not known to me. Water- cordace. 
house records it from Victoria and New South Wales. On the upper surface it resembles Xenica achanta, 
but the black markings are thicker, almost as in Xen. hobarta. From the latter, however, it is easy to 
distinguish by the under surface of the bindwing (not bark-grey, but spotted with ochre-yellow, and with 
the ocelli as in achanta). 
18. Genus: I^nedia Btlr. 
This genus should by rights be called ,,Tisiphone HbnX , as there can be no doubt at all that the 
real type came from Australia. But since in vol. V, p. 184, the name has already been incorrectly employed 
for a South American genus ( Manataria Kirby), it cannot be used again here and we confine ourselves to point¬ 
ing out the correction, which must be taken into account in future revisions. — In size approaching He- 
teronympha, the few species of Enodia (all of which are rare) chiefly differ in the darker, almost predominantly
