recently described P. Pollonia , Salv. Godm., from Guadalcanal, 
of which Mr. H. G. Smith has a few months ago given us a figure, 
it is abundantly distinct from these. 
Subfamily Nymphalin^e, Bates. 
Genus Cethosia, Fabr.

The females of this species are dimorphic, part of them being red 
like the males, part of them being a sordid purplish gray. One 
specimen sent by Mr. Doherty was a male, the upper surface of the 
secondaries of which was uniformly red, all the markings being ob- 
literated by suffusion, and the lower surface of both primaries and 
secondaries was without anything but faint traces of the usual spots 
and bands in the discal region. Such aberrations are not very un- 
common among other genera of the Nymphalidse, but this is the 
first instance of the sort in the genus Cethosia which has come un- 
der my observation. £ , 9 .

This butterfly varies surprisingly in different localities. Mr. . 
Doherty writes that u in the little island of Sumbawa he found 
specimens of the female varying all the way from one almost ex- 
actly like the male, to a dark green insect strongly resembling a 
Parthenos.” My var. Hainana of this species (see Trans. Am. 
Ent. Soc., vol. xiv, p. 116) , is a small butterfly only about half the 
size of the Celebesian form and nearly immaculate.

“ I never saw the male, which is odd, as C. Erymanthis is com- 
mon wherever found, and where is it not found?” — Doherty.

Seen at an elevation of more than 4000 ft. above sea-level, but
