NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAB XXIII. 1916. 301 



albertisi till August of this year, when it was described and figured by Messrs. 

 Joicey and Talbot {Trans. Entom. Soc. Lond. 1916. p. 74. pi. V. f. 2. <?) under the 

 name of M. biakensis sp. nov. This name is unfortunate, as the species occurs in 

 several parts of the mainland of New Guinea in a form identical with the specimens 

 from Biak. As the ? of biakensis has not been figured, I give (PI. IV. fig. 4) a 

 figure of a specimen from Mafor Island ; the <? figured (f. 3) is from Humboldt Bay. 

 I give for comparison at fig. 1 a c? of M. albertisi astrolabiensis Stich., and at 

 fig. 2 a ? of my new M. a. milnei. Messrs. Joicey, Noakes and Talbot described in 

 1915 {Trans. Entom. Soc. Lond. 1915. p. 366. pi. LX. f. 1) a subspecies of my 

 Morphopsis ula, which is of great interest faunistically. 



Morphopsis albertisi milnei subsp. nov. 

 (PI. IV. f. 2 ? ) 



(?. Differs above from a. albertisi in its paler rufous ground-colour, in the con- 

 spicuous fulvous orange patch between the large ocellus and the terminal margin of 

 the forewing, and in the greater width of the oblique yellow band of the forewing 

 towards termen. Below it differs in its sharper markings and in the almost 

 complete absence of the dark cloud-band between and beyond the ocelli of hindwing. 



?. Differs above in the darker forewings, in which the postocular patch and 

 oblique band show similar differences as in the $, and in the submarginal band of 

 hindwing being reddish grey-brown like the rest of the wing, not rusty orange. 

 Below it differs chiefly in the more sharply defined markings. 



Hab. Milne Bay, S.E. New Guinea, 4 <? <5, 3 ? ?, January 1899 (A. S. Meek). 

 (Type 6.) 



Morphopsis albertisi setakwaensis subsp. nov. 



c? ? . Differ from M. a. albertisi and M. a. astrolabiensis in the much straighter, 

 less zigzag submarginal band to the hindwing above, which, like a. astrolabiensis, 

 is much redder, less orange than in a. albertisi. 



Hab. Snow Mountains and coast of S.W. Dutch New Guinea, 10 83, 1 ?, 

 Utakwa, Setakwa, and Eilanden Rivers (A. F. R. Wollaston and A. S. Meek). 



Morphopsis albertisi mambarensis subsp. nov. 



? . Differs in the very dark dusky colour above and very dark outer half of 

 hindwing below. This ? appears to be the largest of all the ? ? of the albertisi 

 forms. 



Length of forewing : 59"5 mm. Expanse: 126'5 mm. 



Hab. Mambare River, N.E. New Guinea, 1 ?, 5000 ft., March 1906 (A. S. 

 Meek). 



Morphopsis albertisi kumusii subsp. nov. 



3 ¥ . Differ in the small size, very bright rufous colour, in the small ocellus on 

 hindwing above, and the very large orange postocular patch of forewing. 



Length of forewing.- ?, a. albertisi, 55 mm. Expanse : 117 mm.
