The Red Lacewing Butterfly (Cethosia Cydippe) – Garry Sankowsky This Is One of Australia’S Most Beautiful Butterflies and I Must Admit It Is My Favourite

The Red Lacewing butterfly (Cethosia cydippe) – Garry Sankowsky This is one of Australia’s most beautiful butterflies and I must admit it is my favourite. It is strictly tropical, occurring from Torres Strait to about Townsville, in rainforest where its host plants grow. The Red Lacewing is rarely seen above 400 m altitude and unfortunately it is a rare visitor to our garden on the Atherton Tableland. Like many butterflies, at times it ranges 50 km or more from its usual breeding areas which brings it on to the Atherton Tablelands and to Townsville. No host plants grow close to Townsville but Adenia heterophylla is common on the Cardwell Range and at Crystal Creek (north of Townsville). It is unfortunate that the last revision of Adenia/Hollrungia lumped these species together, sinking the Hollrungia genus. I still consider them to be two separate genera and so do the butterflies. The Red Lacewing lays on Adenia and Hollrungia, the Orange Lacewing lays on Adenia and Passiflora, refusing to take any interest in Hollrungia. The females almost always lay their eggs along the stem of the host plant, 10 - 20 cm back from the end, in batches of 50 or more. Adenia vines usually hang down and then curl up at the tip, the eggs being mostly laid on the curve. I am referring to the wild situation, in captivity they will lay anywhere on the vine. Similar to White Nymph larvae, the small caterpillars line up and systematically chew down a leaf. The ones in the image on the right are on Passiflora (Hollrungia) aurantoides. These are about to moult, even if the group is somewhat spread out while feeding, they always group tightly when they are preparing to moult. From the third instar onwards, the larvae take on the classic warning colours of toxic species. The group on the left are about to moult and enter the final instar. The group below are moulting for the last time. When it comes time to pupate the larvae usually spread out and may end up ten or twenty metres from where they last fed. Like many vine feeding species their pupae are usually not made on the host plant. The pupae are well camouflaged, looking like some dead debris amongst the foliage. Male and female butterflies are fairly similar, the males being a more vivid red. When it comes to mating, the males are quite aggressive, similar to a Wanderer as shown in the image below. This is a very spectacular butterfly when seen flying in the bright tropical sun. They usually rest with their wings open so the bright red is clearly visible The wild population is extremely dynamic, fluctuating between very common to extremely hard to find from year to year. There are a few localities in the Wet Tropics where they can almost always be found.

The collections of Francillon, Drury, MacLeay, Sir J. Banks, and Donovan, contained almost all that was then known of Indian Entomo- logy, with which our Continental neighbours were then, as still, comparatively ignorant. To these collections, examined b}f Fabricius himself, Donovan had free access, and his figures of the insects therein contained, which had served as types for the descriptions of the Entomologist of Kiel, are especially valuable. The progress of Entomology, as a science, has so much advanced, as to render a that its republication of this work advisable ; at the same time, however, requiring original Linnasan style should not be retained, but that it should be brought down to the present state of science.

INTRODUCTION BY G. TALBOT. It is important to know exactly where type specimens are to be found. The British Museum set an example by publishing catalogues of some of their Rhopalocera types, and we hope this will be continued. Mr. Gabriel, who was responsible for that work, has been asked by Mr. Joicey to prepare a catalogue for the Hill Museum. The original description of almost every name in this catalogue has been examined for the correct reference, and where the sex or habitat was wrongly quoted, the necessary correction has been made.

SYSTEMATICS of VAGRANTINI BUTTERFLIES (LEPIDOPTERA: Nymphalidae)
Treubia 2003 33 (1) 71-87 SYSTEMATICS OF VAGRANTINI BUTTERFLIES (LEPIDOPTERA: NYMPHAlIDAE). PART 1. CLADISTIC ANALYSIS Djunijanti Peggie . Division of Zoology, Research Center for Biology, Indonesian Institute of Sciences JI. Raya Jakarta Bogor Km. 46, Cibinong 16911, Indonesia Abstract Eiglit ge/lera of lndo-Australian butterjiies: Algia. Algiachroa, Cirrochroa, Cupha, Phalanta, Terinos, Vagrans, and Vindula are presented here. These genera together with two Afrotropical genera: Lachnoptera and Smerina, and a Central American genlls Euptoieta were previollsly placed as subiribe uncertain. One-hundred adult morphological characters were scored for fifty-four taxa, and were analyzed simultaneousuj (Nixon and Carpenter, 1993). The cladistic analysis showed that all species were properly assigned to monophyletic genera, and the arrangement of the outgroup taxa is in concordance with the classification previously suggested. The eight lndo-Australian and two Afrotropical genera belong to the tribe Vagrantini within the subfamily Heliconiinae. Key words: Heliconiines, Vagrantini, Indo-Australian, butterflies. Introduction The subfamily Heliconiinae is recognized by most authorities but the included taxa may differ. Ackery (in Vane-Wright and Ackery, 1984) suggested that the heliconiines may prove to represent a highly specialized subgroup of the Argynnini sensu lato. Heliconiinae sensu Harvey (in Nijhout, 1991) also include Acraeinae and Argynninae of Ackery (1988).Parsons (1999)included argynnines within Heliconiinae but retained Acraeinae as a distinct subfamily. Harvey (in N ijhou t, 1991) recognized three tribes of Heliconiinae: Pardopsini, Acraeini, and Heliconiini. The Heliconiini include the Neotropical Heliconiina (Brower, 2000), some genera which were placed as "subtribe uncertain", Argynnina, Boloriina and three other genera (the Neotropical genusYramea, the Oriental Kuekenthaliella, and Prokuekenthaliella) with uncertain relationships.

Papua New Guinea I
This cracking Wallace´s Fairywren was voted bird of thet trip. (DLV) PAPUA NEW GUINEA I 30 MAY– 16 / 20 JUNE 2018 LEADER: DANI LOPEZ VELASCO and JOSH BERGMARK Our first tour to Papua New Guinea –including New Britain- in 2018 was a great success and delivered a high number of quality birds. A total of 21 species of Birds-of-paradise (BoPs) - undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary, and “out of this world” bird families in the world-, were recorded, perhaps most memorable being a superb male Blue BoP, seen at close range near Kumul for as long as we wished. Just as impressive though were spectacular performances by displaying Raggiana and Greater BoPs in excellent light, stunning males King and Twelve-wired BoPs in the Kiunga area, a cracking adult male Growling Riflebird at Varirata, several amazing King-of-Saxony BoPs, waving their incredible head plumes like some strange insect antennae in the mossy forest of Tari Valley, great sightings of both Princess Stephanie´s and Ribbon-tailed Astrapias with their ridiculously long tail feathers, superb scope studies of Black –doing full display!- and Brown Sicklebills, uttering their machine-gun like calls, and so on. While Birds-of-paradise are certainly the signature family in PNG, there is of course plenty more besides, and this year the cracking and little-known Wallace´s Fairywren was awarded bird of the trip, ahead of BoPs, crowned pigeons and owlet- nightjars! We recorded a grand total of 33 species of pigeons and doves, -they reach their greatest diversity here in New Guinea, as do kingfishers-, including 11 Fruit Doves, and, during the extension, the rare Eastern Bronze Ground Dove.
