Australia) A single specimen of a Lyceena closely resembles specimens in the British Museum bearing the above name. 22. LYCANA, sp. 1 A mutilated specimen of a pale blue species, perhaps allied to L. cleodus, Feld. (Voy. Nov. Lep. t. 34. f. 20, 21). 23. LAMPIDES B^TICUS. Papilio bceticus, L. Of this widely ranging species Mr. Brown sends a single specimen. 24. LAMPIDES BERENICE. Lyceena berenice, H.-Sch. Stett. ent. Zeit. 1869, p. 74. A single specimen agreeing with specimens thus named in the British Museum. 25, SCOLITANTIDES CLEOTAS. Polyommatus cleotas, Guer. Voy. Coq. p. 277, t. 18. f. 4. A single specimen of this species, the first examples of which were obtained during the voyage of the ' Coquille' at Port Praslin, New Ireland. This specimen agrees with the plate quoted above as to the distribution of blue on the primaries, and thus shows that Mr. Butler was justified in separating the New-Hebrides species as S. excellens (P. Z. S. 1875, p. 616, t. 67. f. 1, 2). 26. PITHECOPS DIONISIUS. Lyceena dionisius, Boisd. Voy. Astr., Ent. p. 82 (New Guinea). A single specimen agreeing with a New-Guinea example obtained by Mr. Wallace. PAPILIONI DJE. PlERINjE. 27. TERIAS, sp. ? A male and two females of a species closely allied to T. Candida (Cr. Pap. Ex. t. 331. f. A), but differing in having a narrower black outer border, and in the greater extent of the black on the inner margin of the hind wings. The latter character is especally shown in the female, where the black extends over the base of the primaries. The specimens are not in very good condition, and we prefer waiting till we can examine more examples before describing the species. 28. ELODINA HYPATIA. Elodina hypatia, Feld. Voy. Nov. Lep. p. 216 (New Guinea). Three specimens, one male and two females, apparently belonging to this species. |
