Taenaris phorcas admiralitatis subsp. nov.

 area of the hindwing, while on the forewing the white area is as extended as in 

 p. uranus Stand. Below the white area on the hindwing is also much reduced.

Taenaris onolaus Kirsch and Taenaris honrathi Staud. 



Herr Fruhstorfer in Seit: unites these and a number of other forms as sub- 

 species of one species onolaus. In my opinion this is not correct, and I believe that 

 these two forms form two quite distinct species, each with a group of subspecies. 

 The following is the synoptical table of the two species : 



Taenaris honrathi honrathi Stand., Waigeu. 

 Taenaris honrathi sekarensis Stand., West New Guinea. 

 Taenaris honrathi ritsemae Frühst., Humboldt Bay. 

 Taenaris honrathi rebeli Frühst., N.E. New Guinea. 

 Taenaris onolaus onolaus Kirsch, N.W. New Guinea. 

 Taenaris onolaus ida Honr., N.E. New Guinea. 

 Taenaris onolaus saturatior Frühst., S.E. New Guinea. 

 Taenaris onolaus montana Stich., Upper and Middle Aroa River. 



Taenaris scylla Staud. 



This fine species was obtained on Biak Island as well as on Mysore (Korrido) 

 by Messrs. A., 0., and F. Pratt when collecting there in 1914 for Mr. Joicey. 



Taenaris dioptrica orientalis subsp. nov. 



<$ . Nearest to d. onesimides Frühst. Differs above in its paler and more 

 yellow ground colour and in the much greater amount of brown-black between anal 

 augle and vein 3. Below it differs in its paler forewings and much less extent 

 of black on hindwings. 



?. Differs above in the much darker outer two-fifths of hindwing, and in the 

 larger and blacker ocellus. Below on the forewing it differs in the large pale 

 whitish patch between veins 1 and 4, and in the ocelli being larger, darker, and 

 better defined. 



Hab. N.E. New Guinea; 2 SS, 6 ? ?, Erima (Dr. Hagen), Astrolabe Bay 

 and Constantinhafen (Wahnes). 



Taenaris artemis queenslandica subsp. nov. 



S. Nearest to a. sticheli Frühst. Differs from this form in the larger ocelli 

 above, which are widely ringed with golden yellow. Below the ocelli are slightly 

 larger and more sharply defined. 



Messrs. Waterhouse and Lyell record a. jamesi Butl. in 9 SS, 2 ¥ ?, from 

 Darnley Island. (Type locality Yule Island.)
