  The 
  National

  contains 
  a 
  specimen 
  collected 
  by 
  Emil 
  

   Bogen 
  at 
  Lorengau, 
  Manus, 
  on 
  February 
  15, 
  1945. 
  

  

  Notes. 
  — 
  This 
  subspecies 
  was 
  originally 
  described 
  from 
  d'Entre- 
  

   casteaux 
  Island, 
  Admiralty 
  group. 
  Eothschild 
  received 
  eight 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  from 
  Manus. 
  

  

  We 
  found 
  this 
  the 
  commonest 
  Euploea 
  at 
  Los 
  Negros. 
  It 
  is 
  espe- 
  

   cially 
  frequent 
  along 
  the 
  brushy 
  edges 
  of 
  woods 
  and 
  is 
  fond 
  of 
  flowers, 
  

   particularly 
  of 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  orange 
  milkweed 
  {Asclepias 
  curassavica) 
  . 
  

   It 
  is 
  easy 
  to 
  capture, 
  its 
  flight 
  being 
  slow 
  and 
  rather 
  low.

  Notes. 
  — 
  Rothschild 
  recorded 
  a 
  single 
  specimen 
  from 
  Manus. 
  

  

  This 
  little 
  black 
  and 
  white 
  lycaenid 
  is 
  not 
  rare, 
  and 
  is 
  sometimes 
  

   locally 
  common 
  in 
  woods. 
  Its 
  white 
  color 
  makes 
  it 
  noticeable 
  in 
  its 
  

   low 
  jerky 
  flight 
  through 
  the 
  shaded 
  undergrowth. 
  On 
  Lou 
  Island 
  

   it 
  was 
  especially 
  common 
  in 
  a 
  rocky 
  wooded 
  ravine. 
  It 
  is 
  easily 
  

   captured.
