 ■\ feiuales. all iniperfect. 



r)oherty says: — " On niy furnier trip I g'ot several niales 

 1)nt no tVmale. The female is a (ineer thing-, looking- like 

 Zethera Incerta. and probably also is a niiniic of Nectaria 

 Hlanchardii; it is curionsly nnlike tlie male." 



Kohaiia 3lacar Wall. 13 specimens, 9 males and 4 females. 



Roliaiia Atlialia Jtutl. 1 male.

 dilfering- somewiiat: peiliaps it is ]{. Atlialia, Butler, a si»ecies 1

 17 males und 1 female.

 a bad one of this splendid species near to C. Schreiber]. It 

 is very difficult tu catch." 



Cliaraxes 3Iars Sti?r. var. Dohertyi n var. Tafel VI, Fig. 2. 



This mag-niflcent insect ditters from typical Mars of 8tau- 

 dinger in haviiig the furewings of a much more brilliant blue, 

 and the hindwings reddisli instead of greyish brown. Duherty's 

 notes are as follows: — " This is one of my raost valuable 

 captnres. I got seven males, one with one tail gone, another 

 slightly chipped. bnt both fre.sh : the remaining five are flawless. 

 There is, or was tili lately, only one specimen known of Stau- 

 dinger's Mars from Menado. in what condition I know not. 

 1 am not certain that this is the same form, for to the best 

 of my recollection Staudinger describes the hindwings of this 

 species as matt-hraioi instead of, as in this foi-m, ruth-hrauu; 

 so this may be a local form of the otliei". It is certainly one 

 of the tinest butterflies in the world, and exceedingly hard 

 tu catch. The tirst specimen— the one with the broken tail — 

 raised the Avildest excitement in oiir camp, and the next day 

 we simply neglected everytliing eise, so that tinanc'udlii I lost 



hl/ tili- captiU'r."
