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



being much smaller than in the typical form. Thèse ocelli are faintly visible in the grayish 

 marginal part on the upperside of the wings. 



68. T. artemis Voll. --4 cfcT ar >d 2 99» Beaufort River 11 and 28 Nov. 1912; Kloof- 

 bivak 3 and 7 March 191 3. 6 99 Coll. Baggelaar. Ail the spécimens belong to the typical 

 form described by Mr. SNELLEN VAN VoLLENHOVEN in „Tijdschrift voor Entomologie", 

 III, p. 39. 



69. T. hyperbolus Kirsch. — n c?C? ar >d 3 9> Kloofbivak 7 Dec. 191 2; 23 Jan.; 6, 

 17, 20, 24 and 27 Febr.; 4 March 191 3. 5 çfçf and 6 99 Coll. Baggelaar. The 11 spécimens 

 from N.W. New Guinea belong to the subspecies automolus Kirsch, of which there are figures 

 in „Seitz", vol. IX pi. ioid, and in „Das Tierreich", Lieferung 34, p. 200. The maie spéci- 

 mens which I hâve before me generally want the white whisk on the top of the cell and 

 the white back margin on the underside of the posterior wings ; yet in several spécimens 

 thèse spots are distinctly or faintly visible. In one maie spécimen the whisk on the top of 

 the cell is largely developed. The pattern on the posterior wings is very constant and is 

 identical with the descriptions by Kirsch, Stichel and Fruhstorfer. The anal sex-mark only 

 is more developed than in T. artemis Voll. and brown coloured. The female spécimens from 

 N.W. New Guinea differ from those from Central New Guinea; firstly in size, secondly in 

 pattern. The 99 °f automolus possess a wingexpansion of 93 mm. and resemble very much 

 the 99 °f the preceding species; the 99 °f the race from Central New Guinea, which I will 

 name ,,versteegi", possess an expansion of 82 mm. The pattern on the underside of the posterior 

 wings is like that of the cf cf> the pattern in the 99 °f automolus being a little more brown 

 along the margins of the posterior wings than in artemis Voll. 



This species, which must be very rare, according to Mr. FRUHSTORFER, resembles 

 T. onolaus ritsemae Fruhst. The ochre-yellow colour, which is found on the posterior wings 

 of T. artemis Voll. has nearly totally disappeared. 



70. T. catops Westw. - • 25 cTcf 1 an d 24 99> Bivakeiland 22 Febr.; 1 and 4 March

 Baggelaar. The spécimens collected by Mr. BAGGELAAR must be considered as belonging to 

 the race, ^catanea" Fruhst; the other ones from the explored territory show us the transition 

 from the races inhabiting the West- and Nord-West part of New Guinea to those from the 

 Eastern part. Thèse spécimens will resemble also very much those of the race jobina Fruhst., 

 because the 99 are totally pure white (9 f- mylaechoides), except a very small brown striga 

 along the costa of the anterior wings and some brown squamae along the outer margin of 

 the posterior wings. The base of the posterior wings is yellow coloured; especially in the 

 maie spécimens very brightly. The çf cf are also lighter coloured than those of the race 

 catanea and laretta; the costal and apical brown parts show three brown strigae and the 

 brown costal, apical and marginal parts of the posterior wings are not as large as in catanea 

 and covered with white squamae. It also struck me that the ocelli of the underside in both 

 the sexes are not developed on the upperside; moreover they are smaller than in laretta. 

 This new race, ^colarima" (PI. III, fig. 8 and 8a), is an example of the whitening process 

 and will be very near to the race gala'écia Fruhst. from the South-Eastern part. 



71. T. rothscliildi Sm. — 1 çf, Kloofbivak 17 Febr. 1913. This rf resembles the figure 

 in „Seitz"', pi. 101b, only the white subapical région on the anterior wings is darkened.
