This small butterlly is usually very constant in its markings, but in our long series we have several 
aberrant examples. One has a second ocellus below the subtornal one, above and beneath; another 
also has Iho second subtornal ocellus, and has an extra pair of ocelli beneath: two others show no trace 
of the subtornal ocellus above. Hemper tigures two such aberrations in the Journal of the Godetfroy 
Aiuseum 1878, pi. 8. 
Genus HYPOCYSTA Westwood. 
Genera Diurnal Lepidoptcra, p. 397, 1851. 
Antennae about half the length of costa with clubs long and gradual. Byes smooth. Borewing with 
vein 12 slightly, and median vein and vein la moderately, swollen at base: vein 11 from subcostal before 
end of cell: vein 5 much longer than vein (5: cell narrow and nearly two thirds the length of wing. Hind-

wing with vein 3 and vein 4 arising well apart. Vein 10 of forewing arises from Avell beyond the end 
of cell in euphemm^ and from beyond the end of cell in irius: in the remaining Australian species of 
the genus, it arises from either at or just before the end of cell. (Fig. J.) 
Type. Hypocysta euphemia Westwood. 
In this genus there are included a number of small weak-flying butterflies from Australia, New 
Guinea, and some of the adjacent islands. The discocellulars of forewing are very much bent inwards. 
The males have no sexmark but the females may be separated by the longer subterminal ox*ange line of 
hindwing above, and the more rounded termina of the wings.
