58 THE RHOPALOCERA COLLECTED BY THE THIRD NEW-GUINEA EXPEDITION. 



dividing Iine betvveen black and milk-white is irregular but straighter than in other races. 

 On the underside the black apical colour is faded into grayish red-brown with in the centre 

 a pale white striga. 



I propose to give to this new subspecies the name of: ^doeariUa" (PL II, fig. 3), so 

 that we hâve to notice the following races: 

 E. liypatia Feld. 



sada Fruhst Waigeu. 



Jiypatia Feld W. and N.-W. New Guinea. 



pasarga Fruhst On the coast of New Guinea? 



doeariUa v. E Central New Guinea. 



mullierciila Fruhst. . . . Brit. New Guinea. 



Gen. Délias Hiibn. 



17. D. mysis nemea Fruhst. — 2 cTcf» Beaufort River, 12 Nov. 1912. 1 tf Coll. Bag- 

 gelaar. It is impossible to me to separate the subspecies nemea Fruhst., onca Fruhst. and /ara 

 Boisd. In the Leyden Muséum are several spécimens cTcf and OQ from Fak-Fak (Palm V. D. 

 BROEK leg.), which differ inter se and other ones from Sekru, (SCHÀDLER leg.), Mekeo, which 

 are identical with the above named spécimens. The pattern is inconstant, as generally in the 

 Pi er id ae. 



18. D. gabia Boisd. --5 çfçf Beaufort River u, 12 and 13 Nov. and 16 Dec. 1912. 

 The spécimens resemble most those of the race? scribonia Fruhst. from the German part of 

 New Guinea. The posterior wings hâve a bright yellow colour; the apical spots of the anterior 

 wings are also yellow. In the black margin some traces of spots are visible. The fifth spécimen 

 is différent, because it possesses the yellow colour only near the base of the posterior wings. 

 Perhaps a new race? I do not think so ; the characteristics are to subtile and variable. 



19. D. a/bertisi Oberth., subspec. nov. captorima (PL II, fig. 4). — 2 çf çf, Beaufort 

 River 7 and 12 Dec. 19 12. The type of Mr. OberthÙR is a female! The figure, given in: 

 „Annali del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova", vol. XV, pi. IV, décides that the 

 pattern is that of a female DeUas, because the maie spécimens always possess on the upper- 

 side of the wings a simple pattern. Mr. OBERTHtJR self writes: „Je suppose à la couleur 

 noirâtre que c'est une Ç", and he is right. The maie spécimens which I hâve before me are 

 white on the upperside with black along the costa, from the apex to the cell and on the 

 outer margin of the anterior wings. The posterior wings hâve also black margins. The cTcT 

 of the race from British New Guinea, neyi Ribbe, bear less black and do not possess the 

 black discal spot on the underside of the posterior wings, which spot is présent in the spé- 

 cimens from Central New Guinea. On the underside the anterior wing is black-brown coloured 

 with a small undulated white striga near the apex and a white spot near the middle of the 

 hind margin, which spot is darkened in one of the two spécimens. The posterior wing is 

 black, except an orange area in the centre, which area is not as la'rge as in neyi Ribbe. In 

 one of the two spécimens is a white striga along the subcosta like in the figure of neyi in „Seitz". 



The antennae, palpi, head and thorax are black; the abdomen is white. The figure 

 will show the pattern distinctly. It is a pity that the 9 of neyi is not yet known.
