Tins is the extz*eme white form of guerini and is neither a seasonal nor a geographical variation: 
we have exainizles intergrading with tyj^ical guerinf. 
The s];ecies is a variable one: a form witii the foreAving beneath as in semperi and the hindAving 
beneath as in guerini lias been named negrito Fruhslorfer; we haA’e fiegrito from Cairns (11 121 
Kuranda (1 12) and iMackay (3 5). The food[)lant of the larvae is the stinging-nettle-tree. Figure 
46a is a female, but is AAU’oiigly marked on the plate as a male.

We consider that Y. alglna ami its various forms are further subspecies of sahina^ for Ave have both 
sahlna and algina from the Am Is, Bhinopaipety to A\diich the Australian race of sahina has been pre¬
