By the Hon. WALTER RoTHscHILp, PhD RRS. Tue whole of the Lepidoptera on both expeditions were collected by, or under the immediate supervision of Dr. Wollaston, but unfortunately all the Rhopalocera of the expedition led by Mr. Goodfellow were destroyed, and only 614 specimens of Heterocera were saved; of these [I have, described in the Appendix some new species; the remainder I was unable to enumerate, as they had been put away in the study collection of the British Museum and the descriptions not yet published. The Lepidoptera of the Wollaston Expedition consist of 811 species, 210 Rhopalocera and Grypocera and 601 Heterocera; of which 40 species and 16 sub- species of Rhopalocera and Grypocera, and 212 species and 20 subspecies of Heterocera are new to science. The collection brought together by the Wollaston Expedition was made on the Utakwa or Oetakwa River, which rises in the Snow Mountains, and on Carstensz Peak, to within 500 feet of the summit of which, the party reached. The following is a list of the stations, with necessary details : (1) Base Camp.—Sea level, reached September 18th, 1912, was situated 20 miles from mouth of river. (2) Canoe Camp.—Reached October 12th; this was the farthest place possible to reach by water. (3) Observation Camp.—2500 feet in foot-hills, 3 days’ march from Canoe Camp. The localities from here up to Camp 9, 6000 feet, are included in those given under each species either under Utakwa River or SNow Mounratrns, these being quoted from Mr. Wollaston’s labels. (4) Carstensz Peak.—Under this heading is included the portion of the collection made above 5000 feet. The various localities quoted for the specimens got on the Goodfellow Expedition are mostly small and large rivers flowing from the Snow Mountains. In the body of the article I have only mentioned the names of the stations, altitudes and dates. I have to express my great thanks to Mr. Richard South for identifying the Lycaenidae and Hesperiidae for me; to Mr. Louis B. Prout for identifying the Geometridae other than certain Oenochrominae, the genus Dysphania, and the Milionea section of the Boarmianae ; and to Mr. J. H. Durrant for writing the section on the Microlepidoptera. I also have to thank Sir George Hampson for much and valuable general assistance. 1 HON. WALTER ROTHSCHILD ON LEPIDOPTERA bo RHOPALOCERA There are 210 species of Rhopalocera in the collection, of which 40 species and 16 subspecies are new. PAPILIONIDAE There are 42 species of this family, of which 4 species and 3 subspecies are new. PAPILIONINAE In the Papilioninae there is nothing very noteworthy to record. There are 13 species, of which only 2 call for special reference. Papilio weisker weisker, origmally discovered by Weiske on the Aroa River, is now known to occur all over New Guinea, and P. tithonus tithonus, which certainly differs from Kapaur specimens; but a single ¢ is insufficient to separate the Snow Mountain insect as a distinct race. 1.

Papilio weisket Ribbe, Insekten-Borse, p. 308 (1900) (Aroa River). This grand Papilio is dimorphic in both sexes. In the ¢ sex specimens occur in which the normal magenta patches on the forewings are blue like the spots on the hindwing. The first 9 ever captured was quite unlike the 3, having all the markings above, except the postcellular spots on forewing and cellular and basal patches on hindwing, which are apple-green always, nile blue-green. Afterwards both north and south of the Mountain Range ¢9 have been obtained exactly similar to normal 33. All 4 33 sent by Mr. Wollaston are normal 33 of typical werske: ; but I have received this year two distinct local races from Ceram and Goodenough Island respectively which are described below. 1 3 Utakwa River, 2500-3000 ft., Dec. 1912; 1 ¢ Snow Mountains, 4000-6000 ft., Jan.—Feb. 1913; 2 33 Carstensz Peak, 5000—10,000 ft., Feb.—March 1913. Papilio weisket goodenovii subsp. nov. 3. Similar to the green 9° of w. weisket but larger, all spots on forewing above larger, and the submarginal row of spots more strongly marked. On the hindwing above the two spots on each side of vein 2 are double the size of those in w. weishker, and there are two smaller spots on each side of vein 4. Below it differs by having a blue band below the basal half of median vein in the forewings, and in the green submarginal patches of the hindwings being present like above. Expanse 100 mm.

WALTER ROTHSCHILD ON LEPIDOPTERA Papilio weiskei stresemanni subsp. nov. 3. Differs from w. weiske in the hindwings being much wider and more rounded. Above it diflers from the green 9 of w. weiskei and the 3 w. goodenovit on the forewings by the nile-green patches being sky-blue, and the one below vein | is also shorter. On the hindwing above, the basal green spot and the basal portion of cell and the patch above veins land 4 are densely clothed with long white hairs not present in the 2 other forms: it also differs in having a complete row of 5 medium-sized pale blue sub- marginal spots. The green basal area of cell is much larger, and at its apical end, together with the 2 spots above veins | and 4, passes into sky-blue. Below on fore- wing the patches, which are white in w. weiskei, are pale blue, and on hindwing the green patch below cell passes into blue. Expanse 91 mm. Length of forewing 43 mm. Hab.

PIERINAE The 29 species obtained by Mr. Wollaston’s party consist for the major part of Delias-—-viz. 18 species. This was to be expected, as Papua is the home “ par excellence ” of the genus Delias. But considering the number of new Delias obtained by Mr. A. S. Meek on the Utakwa River and on Mt. Goliath, it was an immense surprise to find COLLECTED IN DUTCH NEW GUINEA 5 6 new forms, 3 of which are unlike anything known hitherto. The remaining 11 pierine species are widely distributed Papuan forms. 14. DELIAS INFERNA IRMA Fruhst. Delias aruna irma Fruhstorfer, Soc. Ent. xxi. p. 179 (1907) (British New Guinea). ] Herr Fruhstorfer has united all the orange Delias with dark undersides from the Moluccan and Papuan regions as subspecies of Delias aruna Boisd. I prefer to treat them as two species, D. aruna with 2 subspecies and D. inferna also with 2 subspecies. My reason for doing so is that, although in the Geelvink Bay and Roon Island specimens the black base appears to run into the crimson patch on the underside of the hindwings, somewhat obscuring it, these specimens cannot be called intermediates; and so far, although I have examined several hundred specimens, I have never yet seen a con- necting link between D. aruna and D. inferna in either sex. In the above-quoted article, Herr Fruhstorfer distinguishes 5 subspecies of this group with red discal patches on the underside, but I can only distinguish 2: D. aruna aruna with the discal red patch nor suflused with black, and D. arwna rona with the patch surrusED with black ; all the characters given for the other races break down when a large series is examined. I agree with Herr Fruhstorfer, however, in separating the 2 subspecies of D. inferna. D. inferna irma from the southern and central parts of New Guinea is usually much larger, and always has the black edging to the hindwing broader than in D. inferna inferna, which is confined to the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland. It is quite possible that inland from the Huon Gulf intermediate forms exist linking up D. inferna with D. aruna, but until the discovery of these links it is better to treat them as two species. 7 3s Base Camp, Nov.—Dec. 1912; 3 33 Canoe Camp, Dec. 1912; 1 3 Utakwa River, 2500-3000 ft., Jan. 1913. 15.

DELIAS ZARATE FLAVIDIOR subsp. nov. Herr Fruhstorfer places zarate Grose Smith as a subspecies of gabia, but the occurrence of this form of zarate together with typical gabia in one place proves zarate to be a distinct species. 3. Differs from zarate zarate in being smaller and the black markings above much reduced, the hindwing merely being edged with black ; below the hindwing is sulphur yellow, not deep yellow, and has a much narrower unspotted, dark margin. 1 ¢ Utakwa River, 4000-6000 ft,, Dec. 1912—Jan. 1913, 6 HON.

As neither Oberthiir nor Honrath stated the sex of their types, D. discus was for many years put down as the ? of D. albertisi Oberth. When, however, I received the large eries collected by A. S. Meek on the Setekwa River we at once saw that this was not the case. There are in reality 3 distinct local races of this insect : albertisi albertisi from Arfak Peninsula with entirely black forewings above ; albertisi neyi from British New Guinea with the basal 4 of forewing white; and albertisi discus with from 4 to 3 of the forewing white. Below, the black patch in the disc of the hindwing is, though variable, largest in a. discus, medium size in a. albertisi, while in a. neyi it is reduced to a dot or entirely absent. The sex of both Oberthiir’s albertisi and Honrath’s discus is female, while Sir George Kenrick has described the 3 of albertis?, though unfortu- nately giving it a new name, africanus. 2 $$ Base Camp, Jan. 1913. 20.

APPIAS CELESTINA (Boisd.) Pieris celestina Boisduval, Voy. Astr., Lép., p. 46, No. 1 (1832) (Dorey). Herr Fruhstorfer divides up this insect into 8 subspecies, of which he attributes celestina sekarensis to 8. and W. Dutch New Guinea. Ribbe’s description of his sekarensis is absolutely different from the 12 specimens of the Wollaston expedition. I cannot separate these latter from celestina at present, for while some, it is true, show no signs of the submarginal band or spots, others show the same distinctly ; and as there are no 2°, in which latter sex the differences in the local races are truly defined, it is better to treat these specimens as celestina.* 2 3 Base Camp, Nov. 1912 and Jan. 1913; 533 Canoe Camp, Oct.—Dec. 1912; 6 36 Utakwa River, 2500-3000 ft., Feb. 1913. * So far no race of A. celestina is recorded east of the Bismarck Archipelago, but I have a single speci- men from Bougainville, Solomon Islands, which I now describe here as a new race of A. celestina, though it will probably prove to be an entirely new species. Appias celestina orientalis subsp. nov. 3. Differs from the other forms of celestina in its larger size and very strongly arched costa. Above it differs in the forewings being entirely blue and in the hindwings having a narrow brown border ; the blue on both fore- and hindwings has a decided yellowish tinge. Below it differs from all the forms of celestina in being yellow washed with olive and having a broad, curved, sooty submarginal band to both wings. The forewings have also below a bluish wash.

PALAEKOTROPINAE This subfamily consists of one genus, Tellervo (= Hamadryas preeoc.) lt contains a number of closely allied forms reaching from Ceram eastwards throughout New Guinea to Queensland and the Solomon Islands. The oldest described form is zodlus Fabr. confined to Queensland. Herr Fruhstorfer in Sertz has treated all the forms as local races of a single species, zoilus, but this is certainly incorrect, for in Mr. Wollaston’s collection there are 8 speci- mens of both sexes of one form, and 12 of a totally different form, also in both sexes ; these 2 forms were taken at the same places and season. ‘The one is a true subspecies of zoilus with 2 separate large white subapical spots, while the other is unlike anything hitherto described, though nearest to hiero Godm. from the Solomon Islands.

This genus was established by Fruhstorfer in 1893 for the remarkable butterfly Morphotenaris schoenbergi from the western portion of German New Guinea. The prin- cipal distinguishing characters stated by its author to have induced him to separate it from Taenaris, are the strongly sickle-shaped outer half of the forewings, the ovate Not round hindwings, and the strong development of the nervures on the underside of the wings. When sufficient material has been collected to enable us to make a final revision of the genus Taenaris it will, 1 am certain, prove impossible to uphold Morphotenaris, but at present I prefer not to sink it as a synonym of the former. The single species consists of 5 local races and a possible sixth. I have described the North-Eastern coastal race in a footnote. 81. MoRPHOTENARIS SCHOENBERGI WOLLASTONI subsp. nov. 9. Differs from M. s. schoenbergi in the basal area of the forewings being pale buff instead of coffee brown, and in the vertex of the head and front half of the thorax being intense black instead of whitish grey. Expanse 162 mm. Length of forewing 78 mm. 1 9 Utakwa River, 4000 ft., Dec. 1912. A second very defective ° was got by A. 8. Meek on Mt. Goliath. This specimen 20 HON. WALTER ROTHSCHILD ON LEPIDOPTERA is pure white with basal 4 of costa, palpi, head, and front half of thorax primrose yellow. Should subsequent specimens prove these differences to be constant, | propose for the Mt. Goliath race the name of Morphotenaris schoenbergi flavipalpis. To make the distribution clear and to diagnose the differences of the local races, I here give a synopsis of 4 out of the 5 definitely established forms, the 5th beimg described above.

The range of the species is from the island of Socotra to most of the Pacific Islands, besides India, China, Malacca, and Australia, all the Malayan, Moluccan, Philippine, and Papuan Islands, as well as many other isolated islands. The species has been much discussed, and the literature concerning it is enormous. Asa consequence it has received a large variety of names, many only aberrational, but also not a few subspecific. As, however, Mr. Wollaston has sent no 33 I prefer to leave the question of the exact subspecies to a later period, when all the vast material in the British Museum and my own collection can be properly examined.

Herr Fruhstorfer in Seziz places this insect as a subspecies under C. ceramensis Martin, thus attempting to show which of the various forms of aczlia is nearest to the ancestral one. I think all zoologists have agreed that to carry out a classification on philogenetic lines is impossible, and therefore have decided that for convenience the oldest named form of a group of subspecies is to be taken as the typical name-form while considering every and all the subspecies of equal biological value. Therefore in this case C. acilia is the oldest name, and ceramensis Martin must stand as C. acilia ceramensis, Nov acilia as C. ceramensis acilia. 3 33 1 2 Base Camp, Nov. 1912—March 1913; 1 9 Utakwa River, 2500-3000 ft., Feb. 1913. 99. ACCA VENILIA GRIMBERTA Fruhst. Acca venilia grimberta Fruhstorfer, Stett. Ent. Zeit., 69, p. 284 (1908) (German New Guinea). Herr Fruhstorfer has separated a number of species usually included in the genus Neptis under the generic term Rahinda Moore, which he again divides into 2 SUBGENERA, Rahinda and Acca. As Acca is a much older name than Rahinda, it must under any circumstance be used as the correct generic term for the group Herr Fruhstorfer calls Rahinda. 1 shall leave it to the future to decide whether the fact that the second subcostal nervure arises before the cell, or beyond it, is a good generic distinction : and meanwhile make use of the genus Acca here. 2 gs Base Camp, Nov. 1912; 2 33 2 92 Utakwa River, 2500-3000 ft., Dec. 1912— Feb. 1913. 100. AccA CONSIMILIS STENOPA (Fruhst.) Rahinda consimilis stenopa Fruhstorfer, Stett. nt. Zeit., 69, p. 267 (1908) (German New Guinea). I see no reason to separate these yellow banded forms from the blue and white banded true Acca, for there are species with white bands and also grey bands as well as alternate white and yellow bands, and the fact that while in true Acca the second subcostal arises 24 HON. WALTER ROTHSCHILD ON LEPIDOPTERA from the cell apex while in Rahinda it arises just beyond is not a character to warrant separating Acca into two genera. 1 g Base Camp, March 1913. 101.

On the abdomen are 4 latero-dorsal brown lines instead of 2. On the hindwing there is below the discocellulars a band-like streak along vein 2 which is absent in caesalis, and the median band runs to tornus, not joining postmedian ; on the forewings all markings are much broader and darker.
