or O. edolius he writes, "calls frequently during the night, 

 particularly about 9 or 10 o'clock. I have found their eo;gs and 

 young in the nests of the Small Butcher-bird {Lanius silensl)." 



This is also pretty good testimony of the distinctness of the two 

 species. 



4. On a Collection of Lepidoptera from Cape York and the 

 South-east Coast of New Guinea. By Arthur G. 

 Butler, F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. 



[Eeceived May 15, 1877-] 



In the 'Annals and Magazine of Natural History' for last year I 

 published an account of the first collection of Lepidoptera sent home 

 by the Rev. J. S. Macfarlane ; it contained thirty-nine species, of 

 which six were described as new to science. 



The present collection contains fifty species ; but one of them is 

 too much rubbed for specific determination. The new species are 

 nine in number, five of them being Butterflies and four Moths, as 

 follows : — 



Euploea occulta. New Guinea. 

 Tenaris onesimus. New Guinea. 

 Lyccena conformis. Cape York. 

 Terias sana. Cape York. 

 Papilio maefarlanei. New Guinea. 

 Clicerocampa celata. Cape York. 

 Eitchromia (emnlina. Caj)e York. 

 Hydata spectabilis. Cape York. 

 Cryptophasa riissata. Cape York. 



Of species previously recorded, the most striking is a female of 

 the rare and handsome "Euploea" mesocala of Vollenhoven. 



In the arrangement of the species I shall follow my previous list 

 (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. S. 4, vol. xviii. pp. 122-128), and that on 

 Lepidoptera from Port Moresby (/. c. pp. 240-249). 



RHOPALOCERA. 



Family Nymphalid^e. 



Subfamily Danain.^, Bates. 



Genus Danais, Latreille. 



L Danais archippus. 



Papilio archippus, Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. 1, p. 49 (179.3). 

 Several examples. Cape York.
