  This 
  little 
  orange-brown 
  nymphalid 
  is 
  quite 
  common 
  in 
  the 
  forest 
  

   along 
  the 
  upper 
  Lorengau 
  River, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  very 
  difficult 
  to 
  capture. 
  It 
  

   perches 
  on 
  the 
  leaves 
  of 
  high 
  branches 
  of 
  trees 
  and 
  is 
  wary. 
  When 
  

   approached 
  closely 
  it 
  flies 
  away 
  with 
  a 
  rapid 
  flight 
  about 
  15 
  feet 
  from 
  

   the 
  ground. 
  It 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  confined 
  to 
  the 
  shady 
  woods 
  along 
  the 
  

   river 
  and 
  we 
  did 
  not 
  find 
  it 
  elsewhere.

  A

  from 
  Lorengau, 
  Manus, 
  was 
  sent 
  to 
  the 
  National 
  Museum 
  

   by

  Notes. 
  — 
  On 
  the 
  basis 
  of 
  nine 
  specimens 
  from 
  Manus 
  Lord 
  Rothschild 
  

   described 
  this 
  subspecies 
  as 
  differing 
  from 
  the 
  preceding 
  in 
  having 
  

   smaller 
  white 
  spots 
  on 
  the 
  forewings 
  above, 
  and 
  below 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  

   black 
  bands 
  in 
  the 
  cell 
  of 
  the 
  forewings 
  much 
  broader 
  and 
  the 
  white 
  

   subterminal 
  spots 
  smaller. 
  

  

  We 
  have 
  noticed 
  that 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  surface 
  wherever 
  the 
  veins 
  are 
  

   exposed 
  by 
  the 
  removal 
  of 
  the 
  scales 
  their 
  color 
  is 
  red. 
  

  

  In 
  wooded 
  areas, 
  especially 
  in 
  flat 
  country 
  along 
  streams, 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  

   frequent 
  species. 
  The 
  flight 
  is 
  of 
  medium 
  speed 
  and 
  follows 
  a 
  straight 
  

   course, 
  usually 
  about 
  5 
  to 
  10 
  feet 
  above 
  the 
  ground. 
  The 
  dominant 
  

   blue-black 
  color 
  combined 
  with 
  the 
  red 
  markings 
  beneath 
  make 
  this 
  a 
  

   rather 
  conspicuous 
  butterfly.

  Notes. 
  — 
  This 
  species 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  previously 
  reported 
  from 
  the 
  

   Admiralties. 
  

  

  We 
  found 
  this 
  butterfly 
  only 
  along 
  the 
  coast 
  of 
  Lou 
  Island 
  where 
  

   it 
  is 
  quite 
  common 
  along 
  the 
  wooded 
  cliffs 
  above 
  the 
  shore. 
  It
