STUDIES ON INDO-AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPÏERA II. 59 



Baggelaar. The çf from N.W. New Guinea belongs to the subspecies aruna Boisd; the spéci- 

 mens from Central New Guinea belong to the race irtna Fruhst. Belisama and aruna are 

 distinguished as being two species, but I think that we hâve to do with one species only, 

 because there are no spécifie, anatomical différences. So it is also with the species descombesi 

 Boisd. and other ones like D. emnolpe Gr.-Sm. and D. zebitda Hew., which must both be 

 considered as belonging to the species belisama Cram., which is geographically distributed 

 from New Guinea to Cochinchina. When we make anatomical researches into this subject we 

 must not only compare a spécimen from Java with another from Sikkim, or from New 

 Guinea, but compare and examine also the spécimens from many localities, lying in between. 

 In this manner it will be possible to get an insight into the geographical évolution of the 

 différent organs. I hâve given an example in „ Notes from the Leyden Muséum", vol. 

 XXXVI, p. 230. 



Returning to the spécimens from Kloofbivak, I must mention that the 9 is coloured 

 on the upperside like that of the Australian subspecies, inferna Butl. On the underside the 

 spécimens are as dark coloured as those from Milne Bay (British New Guinea). 



21. D. bornemanni Ribbe. -- 2 cTcTi Mr. G. VERSTEEG leg. 12 Dec. 1912. The two spéci- 

 mens are very interesting on account of their pattern on the underside of the posterior 

 wings. The nervules are black coloured and the cells are red. The black colour however is 

 not equally distributed, so that we see around the cell some black dots. I think that the red 

 dots in the typical form from British New-Guinea are remnants of the red cells in the spéci- 

 mens from Central New Guinea. Another characteristic is also that the anal part of the anterior 

 wing on the underside is white. On the upperside the colours are black and white; costa, 

 apical part and the outer margin are black; the posterior wings hâve a thin black border. 

 I propose to give to this race of the central part of Dutch New Guinea the name of ^rnbrina" 

 (PI. II, fig. 5).

22. H. abnormis Wall. — 2 cfcT» Mr. G. VERSTEEG leg. 14 and 17 Nov. 19 12. The pattern 

 on the underside is like that of the figure of abnormis in „Seitz", but on the margin of the 

 posterior wings is a séries of very little, pale-yellow spots. On the upperside the anterior 

 wings bear an apical black part and the posterior wings a black margin. The last named 

 ones are also bluish-grey on the upperside on account of the black colour on the underside.

23. A. ada thasia Fruhst. -- 7 çfçf and 4 OÇ. Bivakeiland 21 Febr. 19 1 3 ; Kloofbivak 

 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 26 March 19 1 3. 1 çf Coll. Baggelaar. The spécimens are quite like those 

 from the West and North-West parts of New Guinea, only the orange-yellow colour on the 

 underside covers completely the posterior wings except the black margin. 



24. A. celestina sekarensis Ribbe. — 41 cfc? and 2 99' Beaufort River 1 1, 12 and 13 Nov.; 

 Mr. G. VERSTEEG leg. 13, 14 and 17 Nov. 191 2; Kloofbivak 1 — 10 March 191 3. 3 cf cT Coll. Baggelaar. 



25. A. liberia cycinna Hew. — 13 cfcT ar >d 6 99> Beaufort River 12 Nov.; Mr. G. VERSTEEG 

 leg. 13 Nov. 191 2; Kloofbivak 1 — 4, 6, 7 and 10 March 19 13. 2 çfçf Coll. Baggelaar. The 

 cfc? fr° m Kloofbivak seem to be a smaller race.
