EUPLOEA. By II. Fruhstorfer.

the scent-spot long, large, distal margin of the hindwing, particularly that of the ?, rather dark tan-coloured. 
Discal dots on the under surface very weak. Marginal area of the hindwing in the ?? almost whitish. Dutch 
New Guinea. — erana subsp. nov. may be recognized by having the silky stripe on the forewing nearly twice erana. 
as long as in numantia and the upper surface of both wings very dark, with the yellow-brown dislal margin 
standing out rather sharply. Under surface dark coffee-brown, with bone-yellow marginal area extending 
to the cell and extremely prominent whitish violet discal patches. German New Guinea. 
E. lugubris Sm., described from the island of Biak, has the sexual stripe as short as in morosa Btlr. I ugu.br is. 
Hindwing as pale brown-yellow as in numantia Fruhst ., the size larger than in morosa and numantia , but the hindwing 
more similar to that of morosa , i. e. with anleterminal dots, which are absent in the pierreti- series. — fuscosa fuscosa. 
Sm. is a local form of the preceding, above and beneath darker brown, but hindwing with the white dots <u* 
more indistinct. Mysore, collected at the harbour of Korrido. Only 2 pairs known. 
E. lapeyrousei Bdv. is a species probably allied to pierreti, said by Moore to occur on Burn, but by lapeyrmsei. 
Oberthur, who possesses the type, in Dutch New Guinea. According to Oberthur Boisduval’s description is 
much too brief for it to be possible to judge of the species from it. Moore states that the sexual spot is 
much narrower but longer than in pierreti and the under surface more prominently spotted. 
E. torvina Btlr. An extremely elegant species with very narrow wings and a large sexual stripe, torrina. 
distally and posteriorly rounded. Forewing deep velvety brown with narrow distal area, somewhat lighter 
brown but tinged with violet. Hindwing with somewhat broader yellow-brown anal margin, under surface 
light chocolate-brown, hindwing with very narrow, sharply defined pale brown marginal area and prominent, 
rather large white-yellow antcmarginal- dots. Disc and cell as in morosa , but more delicately dotted. New 
Hebrides: Aneitum; Lifu; rare in collections. 
E. paykullei Btlr. is a nearly allied, but distinct species, with even more delicate colouring than the jmykullei. 
preceding. Subapical region of the forewing and marginal area of the hindwing narrowly lighter, band-like, 
light brown instead of blackish, like the rest of the upper surface of both wings. Underside of the forewing 
also margined with lighter brown, hindwing without the antemarginal dots. Vate, Aneitum and Mota in 
the New Hebrides. 
E. brenchleyi Btlr. is wanting in my collection; it nearly approaches paykullei , from which it differs brenchleyi. 
chiefly in having the hindwing almost entirely margined with white, recalling eurypon Hew. (86 e). Solomon 
Islands, without more exact locality, and discovered on a cruise to various Polynesian islands. 
E. eurianassa, one of the most beautiful species of Euploea known, exclusively inhabits the Papuan 
region and is a faithful copy of resarta Btlr. (82 b), from which it is at once distinguishable by the very long 
scent-patch of the forewing. — cumaxa subsp. nov., from Kaiser-Wilhelmsland, is somewhat darker above, cumaxa. 
with narrower bands, partially suffused with yellowish, especially on the forewing. Like resarta , cumaxa does 
not occur further west than Finschhafen and hence is absent already from Astrolabe Bay. Hagen already 
knew the species in 1897 as very rare at Simbang, taken in December. — terentilia subsp. nov. (82 b) is a terenlilia. 
larger race than cumaxa, with the bands still more darkened; that of the forewing is sometimes entirely 
scaled with brown-grey and in parts nearly obsolete. The narrowing of the whitish submarginal band is even 
more noticeable beneath than above, in consequence of which the light brown anal margin of the hindwing 
is widened. Fergusson Islands. — eurianassa Hew., described from New Guinea, probably coming from the eurianassa. 
British part of the island, is the most copiously white-handed local race and bears beneath the most delicate 
cell-dot and 5 discal dots of all the forms. Milne Bay, December, January; apparently not rare. 
Group Stictoploea Btlr. (1878) 
(Narmada Moore 1880, Doricha Moore 1883.) 
Larva as far as known with 3 pairs of tentacles, otherwise scarcely differing from that of the preceding group, but 
the appendages on the 3rd and 4th segments are considerably longer. Pupa as in vrastia core. Forewing with 2 sexual 
stripes. Neuration as in Graslia. Valve, as far as examined, similar to that of Salpinx, but much narrower, with elongate 
point, only moderately bent upwards. 
E. coreta Godt., of the same shape as E. core Or., but with somewhat smaller yellowish white sub- corela 
marginal patches on the forewing and shorter yellowish white wedge-spots on the hindwing. Forewing beneath 
with two white dots at the discocellular, which are absent in core. The species is very common in Southern
