Lepidoptera from Dutch New Guinea. 69 



collected in Wandammen Bay, and a short distance inland 

 from liere are the Wandammen Mountains, where the majority 

 were taken. 



Our thanks are due to Lord Rothschild, Dr. K. Jordan, 

 and to Mr. G. T. Bethuue-Baker for help given and the 

 opportunity afforded of comparing specimens. 



In the following descriptions some species referred to as 

 described by Joicey & Noakes and Joicey & Talbot will 

 shortly be published in the Tians. Ent. Soc. Lond. 



Ehopalocera. 



PapilionidsB. 



1. Papilio (^Troides) chimcera dracwna, subsp. n. 

 (PI. V. fig. 1.) 



? . Fore icing with cell-patch large, subapical spots large 

 and closer together than in typical form, submarginal spots 

 small. Hind wing with a large spot in end of cell ; distal 

 edge of band not so strongly scalloped, so that the black 

 margin is broader on the whole. Below, the base of costa is 

 yellow. 



Abdomen with shorter hair and reduced black on the seg- 

 ments, these being much more yellow basally than in the 

 typical form. 



Tliree examples, Wandammen Mtns., 3000-4000 feet, 

 Nov. A specimen, supposed to be the ^ , was nearly taken 

 by a native collector, who stated that the hind wing was 

 without black spots. 



This race appears intermediate between the typical form 

 and a ? from Central Dutch New Guinea, described as 

 charijhdis by R. Van Eecke in ' Rhopalocera of the Third 

 Dutch Expedition to New Guinea/ p. 56, pi. ii. fig. 1, 

 March 1915. 



Pieridae. 



2. Delias marice, sp. n. 

 (PLVI.fig. l,c?,2, ?.) 



This distinct species is apparently most nearly allied to 

 clathrata, R. & J. 



(J . Upperside. — Fore wing with broad apical and outer 

 black margin ; costa black to base, extending into the cell 

 and connected with a black discocellular spot ; basal two-thirds 

 of wing thinly scaled with white over black and forming a 

 transitional stage to the completely black wing of elougatus,
