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



113. H. eucletus dryope Gr.-Sm. — 2 cfcT an d 1 9 Coll. Baggelaar. H. eucletns Feld. 

 — H. zeuxis Stgr., both from Halmahera, also synonymous with H. dryope Gr.-Sm. from 

 Konstantinhafen. 



114. H. apelles F. - - 1 çf, Kloofbivak 27 Febr. 1913. As far as I can find, this species 

 was only known from Australia. The spécimen from Kloofbivak is much larger than the 

 figure in STAUDlNGER's work. There are also some other little différences, so that we hâve 

 probably to do hère with a new race, but I want material for comparison. 



Gen. Thysonotis Feld. 



115. Th. danis apollonius Feld. — n cfcf ar >d 4 99 > Kloofbivak 26 Febr. and March 

 1913. Beaufort River 16 Dec. 1912. 1 9 Coll. Baggelaar. CRAMER has described first a 

 female form from Ceram (not from the West Indies); BoiSDUVAL has received spécimens from 

 Amboina (Damis sebae). This race inhabits also Saparua; the çfçf from Saparua often 

 possess totally blue anterior wings. FELDER described two races namely philostratus from Hal- 

 mahera (and Batjan) and apollonius from the island of New Guinea. The species hernies, 

 suleima, zuleika, described by GROSE-SMITH are only races from the islands of Korido and 

 Biak, St. Aignan and Rossel Island because there are no anatomical différences. Only the pattern 

 is différent. In the collections of the Leyden Muséum I hâve found also spécimens from 

 Goram, Aru Islands, Waigeu, Salawati, Sowek, Misol and from Kiriwina. The maie spécimen 

 from the last named locality is very fine velvety blue on the anterior wings and bears a 

 large 'pure white band on the posterior ones. We may expect several names for ail the local 

 races of this very variable Lycaena. There exist already many, butT think that this subject 

 had better be treated elsewhere. 



116. Th. wallacei péri Gr.-Sm. - - 28 çfcT and 26 OQ, Kloofbivak Febr. and March 

 191 3. 1 Ç Coll. Baggelaar. The 9 from W. New Guinea belongs to the typical form described 

 by FELDER; the other ones from Central New Guinea resemble the race from Dutch New- 

 Guinea, which race has been described and figured by Mr. GROSE-SMITH. Glaucopis is an 

 intermediate race between zuallacei from Waigeu and péri. 



117. Th. phroso Gr.-Sm. - ■ 3 99» Kloofbivak 5 and 17 Dec. 1912; Beaufort River 

 18 Dec. 191 2. 



118. Th. caehus plateni Gr.-Sm. -- 156 cfcf and Ç9 Kloofbivak Nov., Febr. and March 

 1912 — 1913. Mr. G. VERSTEEG leg. 14 Nov. 1912. Th. plateni has been described from Waigeu, 

 but thèse spécimens are quite the same. It is possible that CRAMER has described this species 

 as cyanea and BoiSDUYAL as epicoritus, which must be found on New Guinea. I hâve seen 

 thèse forms only from the Moluccas. 



119. Th. albula Gr.-Sm. - - 1 cT Loc? Mr. G. VERSTEEG leg. 17 Nov. 1912. 



120. Th. héros Gr.-Sm. — 1 çf and 2 00, 1, 6 and 13 March 191 3. 



121. Th. sperchius inanto Gr.-Sm. — 2 çf çf and 1 9. Kloofbivak 6 March 191 3; Beau- 

 fort River 12 Nov. 1912. The spécimens are quite like those from the Astrolabe Bay. Stephaui 

 Gr.-Sm. is a local form from Stephansort, pindus Feld. a similar one from Ternate. 



Gen. Pseudonotis. 



122. P. milo Gr.-Sm. ■ — 1 tf, Kloofbivak 6 March 191 3.
