diseal spots, that in ai-ea 3 nmeh tlie largest and nxovetl out of line towaiYls base: a complete 
series of snbtorniinal dots: a silky sexniai’k in area la, brown. Ilindwing biown. a complete series

Beneatix. Forewing gi’ey-lxrown with central ai'ea Ixrown: a lai’ge dot in end of cell, and a series 
of four or live large postcellular dots, with often two small subcostal sti'eaks beyond: discal spots 
and subtei’ininal dots as above, but dots lai’ger. Ilindwing grey-brown: often a large dot in end of

On the forcAving above the subcostal dot is A*ery imrch’’ alxseut: occasionally an example is seen 
Avith tAvo or three postcellular dots on foreAving aboA’e, and sometiixies, especially in the fexnale, even with 
a spot in the end of cell of forewing above. We ha\’e sevei-al examples in AA’liicli the hindwing intergrades 
betAveen fig. 19 and fig. 21. The sexmai'k of the male is of A’ariable length. 
This is oiir most abundant Axistralian species, and is the only FiU]xloeid that i*eaches so far south as 
Sydney. In the extreme north it is A^ei'y Amilable, and abeiTant examples hnA'e been described by 
Miskin as E. eiicJus: figure his types (fig. 21, 23) Avhieh are in the Queensland ]\[usenin. We ourselves 
haA^e specimens Avith eA’en feAA^er spots tlian these Iaa'o figures: these aberrations ai’e not uncommon on 
Cape York and the islands of Torres Straits. 
F. angasi Felder is a synonym of this species, and so no doubt is E. hoisfhivaJi Lucas. E. letcini 
Felder belongs to a different section (Abporn), and is recorded from Australia in eiTor. 
15. Euploea guerini Felder. (Am Is.). 
This species can ahvays be x*ecogiiised by the spots of the foi’eAving. Both above and beneath these 
are small and Avhite, but their size aboA^e is lai’gely inei’eased by pale blue niai’ginal scales.

ri’. Aboa^e. ForeAving daidc broAvn: a series of from three to seA'en subapieal spots broadly margined 
pale blue: a single bi’oad silky broAA’u sexinark in ai’ea la. HindAving dai’k broAvn AA’itli costa and 
termen paler: sometimes a discal dot in area 4 and another in ai’ca 5 . 
Beneath. ForeAving broAvn Avith centi’al area darker, and dorsum pale silky^ broAvn: a dot in end 
of cell, and sometimes a series of postcellular dots in areas 2, 3 and 4: sometimes a series of five 
subapieal spots: a long broad pale yelloAV streak in area la. IlindAving brown Avitli central area darker: 
a dot in end of cell: sometimes a series of four postcellular dots and a series of Ihi’ee discal spots. 
9. Afiom. Foi’ewing dark IxroAAm Avith temnen paler and dorsum sti*aiglii: a series of four to eight 
pale blue subapieal spots, that in ai*ea G centred white. HindAving dark broAvn Avith termeii paler and 
costa nmeh paler.

Fig. 18 is draAAm from the ty]xe male, and fig. 20 from a Daimley Is. sjxeeimen. Our four examples 
differ from one another in markings and also slightly in shape, and it is possible they reixresent two 
distinct forms: but since E. guerini is extremely variable Avherever it occurs, Ave hesitate to separate 
our forms xxntil further material is available.
