ANAPHAEIS 
This IS one of the best known of the Australian butterflies, on account of its wide range conspicuous 
colony and migratory habit For days at a time countless numbers may be seen, all tlyS’o- m Ze

male, but has a broad black bar on diseocellulars of both wings. The form, described by Donovan as 
dewpeia, we do not regard as Australian. '■ j-^uiio\an as

This form is an extreme-melanic variation of java, which occurs at many points in the eastern range 
of hat species, sometimes even predominating. It is very rare in Australia, and we have not yet seen an 
autuentie specimen from the mainland. 
Genus HUPHINA Moore. 
Lepidoptera of Ceylon, 1, p. 136, 1881. 
Antennae slightly less than half the length of costa. Forewing with vein 11 from subcostal one- 
tourth before end of cell: vein 10 from subcostal well before end of cell: vein 9 from apical third of 
leiu i: vein 8 absent: vein C from vein 7. Hindwing with precostal spur. Pupa pointed at the 
iiead, and with a lateral spike on each side. 
Type. Rupkina coronis Cramer, from India. 
Foodplaxt. Capparis, 
This genus is allied to but the costa of forewing is more strongly arched and the apex less 
acute, while the abdominal hair tufts peculiar to Ajunas are absent. The single Australian species 
exiiiDits marked seasonal dimorphism. 
207. Huphina perimale Donovan. (Norfolk Is.) 
V name for this group of Huphina is Papilio perimale\ Donovan, described in Insects of 
iSew Holland, but the butterfly there figured is not Australian. Previous Avriters have supposed that 
It came ^ from Ngav Caledonia, but Ave have specimens from Norfolk Island agreeing exactly Avith 
iJonovans figure. As Donovan described other Norfolk Island butterflies as Australian, the origin of 
perimale can no longer be doubted.
