This insect is so scarce, and we have so few specimens from New Guinea, that 

 1 cannot say if this is a distinct race or not. It agrees fairly well with Dr. 

 Wollaston's three cjc? from the Snow Mountains, and is the exact counterpart of a 

 <S from Amboina, but my solitary specimen from British New Guinea is very 

 different. There appears to have been confusion between this and the more common 

 //. pithoeku forms in the Papuan region. 



1 ? , Vulcau Island. 



79. Hypolimnas pithoeka dampierensis subsp. nov. 



i. Above. Differs from //. p. pithoeka Kirsch and //. p. uniformis Salv. 

 Godm. in its intense velvety black colour and broader wings. There is a subapical 

 white patch, and a i)ostdiscal row of white dots more or less obsolete on forewing, 

 and a complete row of subdiscal white spots on hindwing, as well as intranervnlar 

 terminal white spots. The postdiscal spots have no black rings as in p. pithoehi. 



Below. Paler brown-black, outer one-third of hindwing strongly glossed with 

 purple ; along basal half of subcostal a series of small patches of white scales, costa 

 to white subapical patch fawn-brown ; a postdiscal row of pale-blue spots on both 

 wings, and on hindwing a subterminal band of blue suffused markings. 



?. Above. Paler olive slaty black, and on forewing a subterminal band of 

 indistinct ill-defined whitish markiners.
