D'Entrecasteaux Islands and mainland of N e w Guinea. A widely-ranging species, found in the islands neighbouring New Guinea and also North Australia, whence it was originally described. EUPLOJ-A CALLITHOE. Euplcea callithoe, Boisd. Voy. Astr. Ent. p. 93 ; Kirsch, Mitth. k. z. Mus. z. Dresden, i. p. 115. D'Entrecasteaux Islands. A single specimen agrees with one of Dr. Meyer's examples obtained in North-western New Guinea. EUPLOSA IPHIANASSA? Euploea iphianassa, Butl. P.Z.S. 1866, p. 287. D'Entrecasteaux Islands and mainland of N e w Guinea. These specimens only agree approximately with Mr. Butler's type, which came from New Hebrides. The chief difference consists in the absence in the male of the submarginal row of spots on the underside of the secondaries. EUPLOSA NOX ? Euplcea nox, Butl. P. Z. S. 1866, p. 278. D'Entrecasteaux Islands. An imperfect specimen, probably of this species, the type of which was obtained in the Aru Islands. EuPLffiA EURIANASSA. Euplcea eurianassa, Hew. Ex. Butt., Eupl. i. f. 2. D'Entrecasteaux Islands. Described from a specimen taken on board ship, off the coast of New Guinea. EUPLOXA TREITSCHKII ? Euplcea treitschkii, Boisd. Voy. Astr. Ent. p. 98 ; Salv. & Godm. P.Z.S. 1877, p. 142. D'Entrecasteaux Islands. A single female specimen probably belongs to this species, though it differs somewhat from our specimen from Duke-of-York Island as regards the arrangement of the spots on the secondary wings. The specimen is in poor condition. HAMADRYAS ZOILUS. Papilio zoilus, Fab. Syst. Ent. p. 480. D'Entrecasteaux Islands and mainland of N e w Guinea. |
