Show 280 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE LEPIDOPTERA [May 5, Trans. Ent. Soc. ser. 2. vol. iv. p. 182 (1858); White, Voy. Battle-snake, App. p. 390, pi. 4. figs. 3, 4 (1852). Louisiade Islands (Macgillivray). Type B.M. 37. TENARIS ANABLEPS. Drusilla anableps, Vollenhoven, Tijd. voor Ent. iii. p. 40, pi. 1. fig. 3, pi. 2. fig. 1 (1860). Otaheite (Follenhoven). Very close to T. phorcas, but paler in colour, with the ocellus of secondaries above larger and margined externally by a dusky border. Subfamily NYMPHALIN^E, Bates. Genus DOLESCHALLIA, Felder. 38. DOLESCHALLIA BISALTIDE ? Nymphalis polibete (Godart), Montrouzier, Ann. Sc. Phys. Nat. Lyon, p. 403 (1856). Doleschallia bisaltide (Cramer), Herrich-Schaffer, Stett. ent. Zeit. p. 71. n. 10 (1869). Woodlark (Montrouzier) ; Ovalau and Vanua Valava (Herrich- Schaffer). I think it doubtful whether this is the P. bisaltide of Cramer. M. Montrouzier remarks that the black spots on the secondaries are blue-pupilled ; and Dr. Herrich-Schaffer notices the absence of any silver spots on the under surface. Genus CHARAXES, Ochsenheimer. 39. CHARAXES CAPHONTIS. Charaxes caphontis, Hewitson, Ex. Butt, iii., Char. pi. 3. figs. 14, 15(1863). Fiji (Hewitson). Genus NEPTIS, Fabricius. 40. NEPTIS VENILIA? Limenitis venilia (Godart), Montrouzier, Ann. Sc. Phys. Nat. Lyon, p. 406 (1856). Woodlark (Montrouzier). I think it doubtful whether this is the P. venilia of Linnseus; there seem to be at least three distinct forms, all of which will have to be separated. We have the typical form from Amboina, Ceram, Mysol, and Waigiou. 41. NEPTIS? WOODLARKIANA. Limenitis woodlarkiana, Montrouzier, An. Sc. Phys. Nat. Lyon, p. 406 (1856). Neptis woodlarkiana, Kirby, Cat. Diurn. Lep. p. 242. n. 52 (1871). Woodlark (Montrouzier). |
