EUPLOEA 
11. Euploea batesi Felder. 
This is evidently a rare sj^ecies everywhere wiiliin its range. The original form was described by 
Felder from Ilalmaheira. Other forms are known from New Guinea; we have specimens from Orokolo, 
Gulf of Papua, which we consider identical with tlie Australian race.

. Above. Forewing rich brown, with costa and ternien pale brown: very faint indications of a series 
of large i)ale outer-diseal spots. Ilindwing pale brown, with central area, extending to base, ridi 
brown: indications of a series of large pale discal spots. 
Beneath. Forewing as above: a faint dot in end of cell, and a series of three faint elongate post- 
.cellular dots. Ilindwing as above: a large dot in end of cell, and a series of five elongate postccllular 
dots. 
9. Above as in male, but with doi’suin sti*aight, and the indications of discal spots absent. 
Beneath as in male: indications of discal spots absent: cell dot, and postcellular dots, of fore¬ 
wing, larger.

SECTION 3. Forewing of male with dorsum convex, and sexmark absent. Hindwing of male with 
a patch of specialised scales (usually hidden under the downwai’d curve of forewing). 
Veins 11 and 12 are anastomosed in most, Init not in all the Australian butterflies of^ this section 
(ButleFs Calliploea). AVc have examined long series, and lind anastomosis in the majority of the

examples, but in a small percentage (largest in darcliia), vein 11 is curved towards, but does not touch 
vein 12. Our examination of butterllies belonging this section, from localities beyond Australian limits, 
shows that in those from the islands to the west of New Guinea, vein 11 is free from vein 12; but in 
those from the islands to the cast of New Guinea, the great majority have vein 11 anastomosed with vein 
12 . ...

6\ Above. Forewing dark brown: a subcostal dot above end of cell: a complete series of outer-discal 
spots, those in areas 5 to S coalescing and forming a broad subapical bar. Hindwing brown with 
dorsum and termen ])alGr, and costa pale silky }>rown: rarely traces of an iucom]dete series of discal 
dots: a })ateh of specialised scales in upper half of cell, brown. 
Beneath. Forewing brown: subcostal dot as above: a small 2 >ostcellular spot in area 2, and rarely 
a dot above in area 3: discal si^ots as above, but slightly smaller; a series of subterminal dots, com¬ 
plete to vein 8 : a silky grey 2 )atch, more or less covered with specialised brown scales, in the centre 
of area la. Hindwing brown: usually two discal dots in each area la to 3 (omitted in figure),aad 
one in eacli area 4 to 7: a series of subterminal dots, complete to vein 5 and sometimes to vein G. 
9. Above as in male, but slightly paler, and with dorsum straight: speeinli.sed scales of hindwiag 
absent. 
Beneath as in male: specialised scales of foiewing absent.
