_Neptis shepherdi_, ranging from Brisbane to Cape York, has the typical delicate black wings spotted and striped with white. The Tailed Emperor, _Charaxes sempronius_, is our sole representative of the genus, the home of which is Africa and the East Indies; it is nearly 4 inches across the wings, the inner portions of which are creamy white, the outer edges, tips and margins black, and with a row of creamy spots along the edges and two spots behind. The marginal black edging on the hind wings is broad, shaded on either side with pale blue, which covers the broad scallops in the wings; there are two stout wedge-shaped tails on each hind wing, and a bright reddish-yellow blotch on each inner edge. The larva is a very curious, short, stout, pale green caterpillar, with a slightly forked tail, and four short stout horns on the top of the head; it feeds upon the foliage of the black wattle. This species ranges from Sydney to Derby, N.W. Australia, where I took a specimen upon a baobab tree which is now in the Macleay Museum; Waterhouse gives Cairns, Q., as its northern limit, but this gives it a much extended range. * * * * * The SATYRINAE are chiefly small butterflies, black, brown, or sometimes white, generally marked with eye spots, and the wings are rounded. The larvae feed upon different grasses, and are smooth or clothed with fine short hair: the head is round; and the body tapers to each extremity, and ends in a forked tail. The Genus _Mycalesis_ contains five species; they are all reddish-brown butterflies of small size, that flit about in open forest country, of which _Mycalesis terminus_ is a very good type: it measures 1½ inches across its dull, rusty red wings, which are indistinctly marbled, and darkest at the tips; the edges of the hind pair are marked with fine black lines. On each wing are a pair of small eyes, the hind one on each wing being largest; these also show on the under surface, and those on the hind wings are encircled with silvery lines. It is a northern species found along the coast of North Queensland. _Tisiphone abeona_ is a common species in Victoria and on the eastern coast of N.S. Wales, usually found flitting along damp gullies, never flying high or in open country. It measures about 2½ inches across the wings, and is of a uniform dark brown tint: the front wings are ornamented with two eyes, the first smallest; a broad irregular band of yellow bisects the wings about the middle, crossing behind the eyes; the hind wings are plain, with a small eye on the inner margin, and are slightly scalloped round the edges. The delicate green caterpillar has a small rounded head; it is broadest in the centre, tapering to the head and forked anal extremity. It feeds upon the sedges. The chrysalis is of a delicate emerald green tint, with the edges of the wings outlined in yellow. _Ypthima arctous_ ranges from Sydney to Cape York; it is a
