1878.] BUTTERFLIES FROM NEW GUINEA. 645 



Subfamily Satyrin^e. 

 Mycalesis medus. 

 Papilio medus, Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 488. 



Mainland of New Guinea. 



A single tattered specimen seems to belong to this widely-ranging 

 species. The white cross bands of the underside are nearly 

 obsolete. 



Mycalesis dorycus. 



Satyrus dorycus, Boisd. Voy. Astr. Ent. p. 152. 



D'Entrecasteaux Islands and mainland of New Guinea. 



Dr. Comrie's specimens agree with Boisduval's description in not 

 having any of the fulvous colour of the secondaries near the anal 

 angle of the primaries. In this respect they differ from Guerin's 

 figure of his 8. duponchelii (Voy. Coq. Zool. Atl. Ins. t. 17. f. 3). 

 The ocelli on both wings are small, and differ much in size from 

 those of the female figured by Hewitson (Ex. Butt. Myc. t. 2. 

 f. 7, 10). 



Subfamily Morphine. 



Drusilla catops. 



Drusilla catops, Westw. Gen. D. Lep. p. 335, note ; Trans. Ent. 

 Soc. ser. 2, iv. p. 181. 



D'Entrecasteaux Islands and mainland of New Guinea. 



Drusilla myops. 



Drusilla myops, Feld. Wien. ent. Monatschr. iii. p. 109, t. 1. 

 f. 1. 



D'Entrecasteaux Islands and mainland of New Guinea. 



These specimens agree fairly with Dr. Felder's figure ; the white 

 spot on the primaries, however, is more elongated, and the basal 

 portion of the secondaries much paler. 



Subfamily Nymphalin^e. 

 Cethosia chrysippe. 



Papilio chrysippe, Fab. Svst. Ent. p. 502 ; Donov. Ins. N. Holl. 

 t. 24. 



D'Entrecasteaux Islands and mainland of New Guinea. 

 Agrees with North-Australian and New-Guinea specimens. 



RHINOPALPA AMELIA. 



Vanessa amelia, Guer. Voy. Coq. Zool. p. 278, t. 14 bis. f. 1. 



D'Entrecasteaux Islands and mainland of New Guinea. 



Agrees closely with Guerin's figure. We much doubt whether 

 R. algina, Boisd., is really distinct. The figure of the latter in the 

 ' Voyage au Pole Sud' does not seem to be very accurately drawn.
