Carpenter — Lepidoptera from Murray Island. 3 



Papilionidce. 

 Eurycus cressida, Fab. ( 5^ 1, $ 2) : 

 Australian species. 



Ornithoptera poseidon, Doubl. ( ^ 2, ? 3) : 



This is a typical Austro-Malayan species. Yery nearly 

 allied forms occur in Northern Australia. Professor Haddon's 

 specimens afford excellent illustration of the great variability 

 of the species. One of his males has the green markings along 

 the median nervures of the primary wings very conspicuous, 

 whilst in the other male it is almost suppressed. The three 

 females all vary in the white markings on the primary wings, 

 as well as in the marginal spots of the secondaries. 



Papilio ormenus, Guer. (c? 3 ; ? , 3rd form of Wallace, 1) : 



This is a Papuan species, whose females are trimorphic. 

 The darkest form of the female is very like the male (Wallace, 

 Trans. Linn. 8oc. xxv.). The specimen brought by Pro- 

 fessor Haddon is lighter in markings than Wallace's figure 

 of the third (lightest) form, a partial suffusion of the discoidal 

 cells of all four wings with black, which is shown in his 

 figure, being almost suppressed in this specimen from Murray 

 Island. 



SPHINGES. 



Sphingidce. 



Hemaris hylas, Linn. (1) : 



This common species ranges all over Africa, ^outh Asia,

ZygcBnidce. 



BOMBYCES. 



Eucheliidce. 

 Deiopeia lotrix, Cram. (6) : 



This species ranges from India to Australia. It is very 

 near the European B. pulcJielhy which is a rare British insect, 



and has twice occurred in Ireland.
