New Forms of the Genus Tellervo (Danaidae) 345 



Mefor Island, August, C, F., and J. Pratt. 



A series of both sexes, 43 p.c. 3 3 , 57 p.c. ? ? . 



5. Tellervo jurriaansei sp. nov. 



This is a very distinct mountain form. It replaces a zollus form 

 which occurs up to 3,500 feet, and was found only between 5,000 and 

 6,000 feet. The only species known with a cream-coloured or almost 

 yellowish band on the hind wing. 



It is interesting to note that near the coast of Geelvink Bay both 

 zoilus nedusia Hbn., and assarica wollastoni Eoths., were found 

 together. 



The form we are describing is probably a recent development from 

 zoilus, marking its limit of altitude. 



8 . Upperside with the usual black ground-colour. Fore wing 

 with spots smaller than in nedusia. No patch of modified scales. The 

 spot in 3 round and placed more distal than in nedusia. Hind 

 wing with the band cream-colour and distally much shorter than in 

 nedusia. 



Underside of fore wing thinly scaled. A submarginal row of eight 

 pale cream-coloured spots, larger than in nedusia, those in 3 and 7 

 smaller than the others. No cell-stripe. Hind wing with band as 

 above, and pale cream-coloured spots. A basal spot, a costal stripe in 

 7 where there are two spots in the allied form, submarginal spots as in 

 other forms but larger than in nedusia, and the one at the costa before 

 the apex, elongated. 



? . Like the 8 except that the spots of the fore wing are not 

 dusted with black. 



Length of fore wing: 3 21 mm., ? 22 mm. 



Menoo River, 5,000 feet, November to January; Mt. Kunupi, 6,000 

 feet, November to January, a series of both sexes.
