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



widening towards the base of the wing, in which the dark brovvn basai half reaches nearly 

 the top of the cell. I think it unquestionable that we hâve to do hère with a local race, 

 for which the name albiplaga Rob. (PL III, fig. 9 and ga) must be used.

87. D. bisaltide nasica Fruhst. — 1 rf an d 1 9 Coll. Baggelaar. Till now this form is 

 only to be found on the island of Waigeoe. I think it possible that thèse spécimens are 

 from there. 



88. D. hexophthalmos kapaurensis Fruhst. — 2 OQ Coll. Baggelaar. 



' 89. D. dascylus phalinus Fruhst. — 1 cf an d 2 99 Coll. Baggelaar. 'Once more I must 

 say that thèse spécimens belong to a form which is only known from Waigeu ? 



Gen. Cyrestis Boisd. 



90. C. acliates achates Butl. — 2 cfc? Coll. Baggelaar. The genus Cyrestis is a very 

 interesting one. I think, and I hope to prove this later on, that the number of the species 

 in both the gênera Doleschallia and Cyrestis is much too great.

 4 cf cT Coll. Baggelaar. The spécimens from N.W. New Guinea belong to the typical form. 

 Those from Central New Guinea also show very little différence; the white transversal band 

 on the upperside of the wings is broader to the analis of the anterior wing (8 mm.). The 

 shape of the band is more triangular, the corners touching the costa of the anterior wing ; 

 the analis of the posterior one and the back-margin of the anterior wing. The 99 seem to 

 be not rare, because I hâve found several.

94. N. satina Sm. - 3 r? c? and 7 99 Kloofbivak 8 and 22 Febr.; 1 and 4 March 

 191 3; Bivakeiland 24 Febr. and 1 March 191 3; Beaufort River 16 Dec. 1912. The spécimens 

 differ a little from the described forms satina and damarete Fruhst., but I think the différ- 

 ences too slight. 



95. N. nausicaa sparagmata Fruhst. — 3 cfcf an d 2 99 Kloofbivak 27 Febr. and 1 

 March 191 3. 1 cf Coll. Baggelaar. The latter spécimen belongs to the race syxosa Fruhst. 



96. N. sh'epherdi mastusia Fruhst. — 5 cfcf an< ^ 5 99 Kloofbivak Febr. and March 

 19 13. Beaufort River, 12 Nov. 191 2. 1 çf Coll. Baggelaar. Perhaps the spécimens from N.W. 

 New Guinea belongs to the race dainia Fruhst., but I can not distinguish the two races ver}? 

 well. Among the spécimens from Central New Guinea there is also a couple, which may be 

 considered as belonging to dainia. The female spécimens especially differ in the width of the 

 white band on the posterior wings. The distinguishing characteristics of the races are very 

 slight, the pattern being not very constant.
