27^ *HE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



In view of the great advantage of having a uniform system of 

 terminations, I have added in this list certain alternative names 

 in brackets. They are mostly those proposed by Prof. Shipley 

 in Zool. Anz. xxvii. 1904, and made use of in Prof. Sedgwick's 

 recent ' Text-book of Zoology,' vol. iii. 1909. 



A NEW SPECIES OF MORPHOTENARIS FROM 

 DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 



By Percy I. Lathy, F.Z.S., F.E.S. 



Morpliotenaris adamsi, sp. nov. 



(? . Upper side. Fore wing pearly white ; a wide curved fascia 

 from base to inner angle, the part within cell being blackish brown 

 and beyond cell orange-brown. Hind wings pearly white, with tuft 

 of brown hairs near base and below cell. Under side. Fore wing as 

 above, but fascia darker in colour, and above fascia three submarginal 

 white-centred black spots. Hind wing white, tinted with ochreous, 

 particularly along costa and inner margin, a series of five sub- 

 marginal ocelli, of which the upper is the largest and the next two 

 smaller than the two lower ones ; these ocelli are ochreous, faintly 

 ringed with black, and contain a white-centred black spot. 



? . Similar to ^ but larger,- the orange-brown of fascia more 

 suffused with black, and no tuft of hair on hind wings. Exp. 

 ^ 110 mm. ? 128 mm. 



Ilab. Ninay Valley, Dutch New Guinea. 



This fine new species was captured by Mr. A. E. Pratt, 

 during the months of November and December, 1908, and 

 January, 1909, at an elevation of 3500 ft. Mr. Adams' series 

 consists of one male and eight females. 



The nearest ally is 21. schonbergi, Fruhst., from which it 

 may easily be distinguished by parti-coloured fascia, the black 

 spots on fore wings below, and smaller ocelli of hind wings 

 below. 



SIX WEEKS AMONGST HUNGARIAN BUTTERFLIES. 

 By W. G. Sheldon, F.E.S. 



(Continued from p. 251.) 



On June 14th we entrained for Herculesbad. I had been 

 told by Budapest entomologists that the season in Hungary was 

 a bad one, but not until Herculesbad was reached did I realise 

 how bad it was, for there, in my judgment, not more than 

 twenty-five per cent, of the specimens I ought to have met with 

 were seen — a calculation made by comparing the results of 

 those British lepidopterists who had preceded me with my own.
