344 Neiv Forms of the Genus Tellervo (Danaidae) 



from Mysol. The present form is closely related to the Mysol one 

 already described. It is evident that fallax represents a fourth species 

 of the genus. It is represented on the Solomons by hiero G. and S. 

 The specimen from Matabello, referred to by Staudinger (Exot. Tag. 

 p. 53) is evidently the female of fallax, and the females of the Mysol 



series are of this kind. 



$ . Larger than mysolensis. Fore wing with larger spots, the one 

 in 3 broader and straight on the outer edge. Hind wing with band 

 as broad as in assarica, but the edge slightly irregular and only notice- 

 ably indented near the base of cellule six. 



2 . Subapical spots smaller than in assarica, cellspot larger. Hind 

 wing with band more rounded and not dentate. 



Waigeu, February to March, A., C, and F. Pratt, one $ , two 2 2 . 



A similar form occurs on the Island of Mioswaar in Geelvink Bay, 

 but as this may be identical with one of the races inadequately described 

 in Seitz, we cannot venture to give it a name. 



4. Tellervo zoilus Fbr. parvipuncta subsp. nov. 



This form is close to mysoriensis Stgr., from the Schouten Islands, 

 but may be distinguished by the smaller spots of the underside, 

 especially of the hind wing, and by the band of the hind wing having 

 a costal invagination of ground-colour which rarely reaches vein 4. 



Together with this species was found assarica meforicus Fruh. 

 This is very similar in marking, but the fore wing has a larger cellspot, 

 always a basal streak though sometimes faint, the hind wing with band 

 more indented on the outside and a small spot in lb. On the underside 

 there is no spot at the base of lc. Fruhstorfer figures this form in 

 Seitz, Macrolep. ix, pi. 78e, but the figure is of the 2 and not of a S 

 as stated. 



$ 2 . Upperside of fore wing with a small, narrow, and slightly 

 curved cellspot, in one specimen triangular, and in the 2 larger. 

 Subapical spot and distal spot as in mysoriensis, but a trifle shortened, 

 and very lightly dusted with black in the $ . A white subcostal dot, 

 larger in the 2 . Hind wing band as in mysoriensis, no spot in lb, 

 only some light dusting. The band not divided by the ground-colour, 

 which forms a costal invagination as in meforicus and only reaches 

 vein 4 in one $ and one 2 . 



Underside with spots smaller than in mysoriensis ; hind wing with 

 much smaller middle costal spot. A round dot at base of lc, more or 

 less defined ; this dot is absent in assarica forms.
