certainty. It may be necessary to study genitalia or other characters which are not visible on just
thumbnails or enlarged pictures. The thumbnail pages are therefore not suitable as identification keys for
scientific purposes. In those cases please contact the specialist concerned with the insect group (see

Heterocera
Papua and West-Papua
(Indonesian New Guinea)
Papua is the western part of the island New Guinea and belongs politically to Indonesia.
From 1828 till 1963 it was under control of The Netherlands as Dutch New Guinea. From
1963 the Indonesians first named it West Irian or Irian Barat. From 1973 it was named
Irian Jaya and since 2000 it officially is named Papua. The part from the Birdshead
Peninsula till East of Wandammen Peninsula is nowadays the Province of Papua Barat
(West Papua), the eastern part till the PNG border is the Province of Papua.
Geological history
The geography of the world is continuously changing in time. The Earth's crust is broken
up in numerous pieces and is in constant movement. It is a dynamic system of « floating
jigsaw puzzle pieces », some very large, others very tiny. Especially the area of Southeast
Asia, the islands in particular, are subject to very complicated geological processes,
tectonic movements. Dr. A.J. de Boer and Dr. J.P. Duffels discuss the biogeography of
cicadas and the reconstruction of the geological history of Southeast Asia and Australian
and Pacific islands in some of their publications. A short introduction is given below.
The rich biota of the Indo-Pacific region, east of Wallace's line, is a composite of Oriental
and Australian elements. The high biodiversity presumably finds its origin in the
extremely complex geotectonic past of the area. The area was shaped at the interaction
zone of three converging tectonic plates: the Eurasian, Australian, and Pacific plates, and
at present comprises a mixture of rifted microcontinents and fragments of Tertiary island
arc origin. The area considered roughly consists of Sulawesi, Maluku, New Guinea, the
Bismarck Archipelago, the Solomon islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, and some
more outlying islands as the Caroline and Society groups. The present-day geography of
this area developed after a series of continent-island arc collisions, first in southeast Asia,
and later in northern Australia. The extreme complexity of the area in biogeographic
respect is supposed to be mainly determined by the tectonic movements. The afore
mentioned collisions at first caused the fragmentation of the originally more or less
continuous island arc systems, but subsequent collisions led to a reassemblage of many
such fragments in a changed geographical order in and around New Guinea. The
fragmentation of island arcs led to vicariant speciation, while reassembly enabled
dispersal of species into adjacent areas. Consequently, the flora and fauna of the area, and
those of New Guinea in particular, result from a mixture of vicariant and dispersal events,
World Archives of Sciences : WAS-ARCHIVES.ORG 7
and offer the opportunity to study the similarities and differences between the vicariance
and dispersal patterns.
The complexity of geotectonic movements makes Wallacea, New Guinea, and the west
Pacific a challenging area for areacladistic [and biogeographic] studies, since many of the
changes that occurred in the relative positions of the various islands and island parts must
have led to vicariant speciations. The taxon-areacladogram of a monophyletic group of
sufficient age, that shows a high rate of endemism in the areas concerned, should reflect
that geotectonic history.
Areas of endemism
Areas of endemism are characterised by overlapping distributions of endemic species or
species groups, and by a concentration of species of any given monophyletic group. Areas
of endemism can be separated from adjoining areas by their own particular biota. An area
of endemism can consist of two or more areas of endemism of a 'lower rank', when
monophyletic species groups endemic to this area contain monophyletic subgroups which
are restricted to a part of the area of endemism in question.
Geography of Papua
The geography of Papua is dominated by several mountain ranges in the northern half and
widely forested wetlands in the southern half. In the neighbourhood of large cities and
villages the tropical rainforest is declining by logging, burning and polution, like
everywhere in the tropics, but fortunately the island still is one of the most richest for
what primary rainforest is concerned. Approximately about 70% of its surface is still
untouched, and please let's preserve this treasure!
1891 - The Swiss Hans Fruhstorfer visits the Birdshead Peninsula and collected many
lepidoptera. His material is still preserved in the BMNH and ZMHB.
1892 - The English animal collector W. Doherty collected many birds and insects, of
which mostly butterflies. He visited Andai and Dorey.
1896 - Doherty visits New Guinea for the second time, visiting Dorey Bay.
1896 - Zoologist E.St. Vraz explores the Arfak Mountains and reaches up to 20 km South
of Mt. Hattam.
1907 - A.E. Pratt visits, together with his two sons Felix and Charles Pratt, the Arfak
Mountains near Manokwari. Charles also visited Warmasin (Anggi Lakes, Arfak
Mountains, February 1909). Both brothers, Felix and Charles went on the River Uty and
Mt. Misresi in the Arfak Mountains.
1913 - A.E. Pratt and his two sons Felix and Charles plan a new trip to the Anggi Lakes
in the Arfak Mountains.
1914 - In order of J.J. Joicey (owner of the private Hill Museum) A.E. Pratt and his sons
collected in the Arfak Mountains.
1928 - Ernst Mayr, a German ornithologist, collected birds, mammals, plants and insects
on the Birdshead Peninsula, mostly from the Arfak Mountains.
1928-1929 - From December 1928 till May 1929 Prince Leopold from Belgium visits the
Dutch Indian Archipelago. He also visited the Arfak Mountains. Apart from other animals
he collected also insects ((type)material in ISNB, Brussels).

speaking from the standard of most tropical islands, butterflies in general are rather rare
on Biak. »
« The difference between the forms on Biak and their allies in New Guinea and Jobi
(Jappen [= Japen]), as far as is known with regard to the latter island, is remarkable. The
same applies to the flora. Further, there are no paradise birds, kangaroos, cassowaries, or
hornbills, yet all these are plentiful on Jobi, not thirty miles away. Yet the Goura victoriae
(crown pigeon), which is a particularly heavy bird and can fly only a very short distance,
is quite plentiful. This bird may, however, have been imported from Humboldt Bay
centuries ago when there was perhaps communication with the more eastern districts.
There is a lighter strain in many of the natives and some even have straight hair. This
points to some past connection with the natives of the islands at the other end (south-east)
of New Guinea. Were it not for the fact that Biak is apparently new land, one might
suppose that it belongs to a former continent or great island. According to a missionary,
one part, a small mountain, shows signs of being of very ancient formation; this tallies
with the native folk-lore. »
« The formation of Biak is coral-limestone. There is anchorage on the south coast at
Mokmen, but I believe none on the north. In places one can stand on the edge of the coral
reef at low tide and sond without finding any bottom at sixty fathoms, as at Bosnek [=
Bosnik] on the south-east corner. »
« The prevailing wind is, of course, the south east. This is a trade wind and really blows
all the year round, but what is known as the south-east monsoon blows from April to
September. Then the north-westerly squalls begin. »
« The altitude is not greater than 200 or 300 feet except in one part to the north, where a
mountain runs up to 2000 feet. This, however, is not high enough to produce mountain
forms. »
« There are no swamps on the island, and behind Waridoon the west are undulating
plains. Here, in patches of secondary growth, most of the Delias were found. »
« One might stop a considerable time on Biak and get very few Delias. Perhaps a few
euphemia males and, may be, both sexes of multicolor if one happenend to see the
jambosa tree in flower on the sea shore. To get Delias, particularly the females, one must
find the flowering trees which they haunt, and wait patiently in the branches during the
sunny hours; 4 p.m. is a good time for females. During the great heat of the day most
things are still except in the woods, where it is always possible to come across some
females drinking. The female of euphemia is quite rare and very conspicuous; maudei is
very rare indeed, and bosnikiana is yet rarer. »
« Papilio felixi is found hovering over the mud near the shore. It is not at all common, but
its habits are probably much the same as the other thule forms. »
Entomological expeditions :
1873 - The German A.B. Meyer, from the Zoology Museum in Dresden, visited Mafoor
(now Numfoor), Mysore (now the Schouten Islands Biak and Supiori) and Jobi (now
Yapen). He explored the whole « Geelvink » (Cenderawasih) Bay coast.
We hope to get some detailed information of the interior of this area soon. If you have
information or photographs which can be used by us we would be very thankful.
Entomological expeditions :
1920 - Charles, Felix and J. Pratt visit the Weyland Mountains and the Menoo River and
Mt. Kunupi.
1930 - F.S. Meyer visits the Weyland Mountains.
Jayawijaya Mountains
The Jayawijaya Mountains are the centre part of the Western Central Mountain Range in
New Guinea. It is enclosed by the Sudirman Mountains (Snow Mountains) in the west
and by the Star Mountains in the east. In the north and south it is enclosed between two
giant lowland areas. Some mountains have imaginable names like Mount Goliath (Peak
Yamin, 4595 meter), Mount David (4581 meter). The highest peak of Jayawijaya is
Mount Trikora (Peak Wilhelmina, in the former Oranje Mountains), with 4730 meter the
second largest peak of New Guinea and snow covered. North from this mountain is Lake
Habbema, the largest lake in this area. In the centre of the area, east from Mount Trikora,
is an important area for the region: the Baliem Valley. It was rather recently discovered
(1936) by coincidence by a mail aircraft and appeared to have a self supporting
agricultural system of high standard, without having contact with the civilized world.
Now many modern western technics are introduced as well as many new vegetables and
crops. The Baliem Valley is a wide flat valley at an altitude of 1500 meter. There is a
theory that the Baliem Valley was once a large lake, where the valley itself was the
bottom of the lake. This would explain the peculiar flat area and the « entrance » (or «
break through ») in the South of the valley. In the valley itself is no primary forest and
probably has never been there too, most of it is cultivated or are small secundary forests
and bushes and plains.
Wamena
The most important town in the Baliem Valley is Wamena which is growing fast with all
consequences of a civilized city, like polution, noise and busy traffic. In 2008 there was a
shortage of fuel and because of the high prices most traffic consists of bicycles,
motorcycles and many betjaks (cycle taxi's), which are imported from Jakarta.
Another disadvantage of the modernization of the Baliem Valley is the decrease of
traditional habits and culture. The koteka, the traditional penis covers, and the wear of the
males and females, as well as the traditional housing, are disappearing fast in the Baliem
Valley. Somewhat further from Wamena they can be found almost unchanged in the
mountain villages of the Dani and Yali, the local tribes in the Baliem Valley. In Wamena
some souvenir sellers force themselves in overdone and fake « traditional » wear, selling

Valley and Nipsan, by Rob de Vos, Gerrit Withaar, Piet Zumkehr, Jaap Zwier, Tomas
Lackner and David Mannering.
2008 - Survey to Lelambo and Walmak (district Nipsan) by members of the Papua Insects
Foundation.
Cyclop Mountains
The Cyclop Mountains are a relatively small range of rather high mountains (highest peak
2158 meter) in the Northeast of Papua. It is an official National Park, but it is not clear
1928 - Ernst Mayr, a German ornithologist, collected birds, mammals, plants and insects
in the Cyclop Mountains.
1932 - Miss Lucy E. Cheesman visits the Cyclop Mountains to collect insects. She was
the first female explorer in the area and it is especially remarkable because she travelled
alone, in a time that it was not really save even for men.
1934 - W. Stüber collected flora and fauna for sale from the Humboldt Bay region and the
backland of Hollandia (Jayapura) in May 1934 . Butterflies and moths where sold to
BMNH, RMNH and to Dr. J.M.A. van Groenendael, who donated his large collection of
Indonesian lepidoptera to the ZMAN.
1936 - Miss Cheesman joines the second Archbold Expedition in the Cyclop Mountains.
1939 - The fourth and last Archbold Expedition, or the New Guinea Expedition 1939 by
the Royal Dutch Geographical Society, or the Le Roux Expedition, to the surroundings of
Hollandia (Jayapura) (among others).
1993 - Expedition of the Zoological Museum of Amsterdam to the Cyclop Mountains and
Ampas, by Arnold de Boer, Twan Rutten and Rob de Vos.
1996 - Expedition of the Zoological Museum of Amsterdam to the Cyclop Mountains, by
Arnold de Boer, Gerrit Withaar, Piet Zumkehr, Herman de Jong and Rob de Vos.
2005 - Expedition of the Zoological Museum of Amsterdam and University of
Cenderawasih to the Cyclop Mountains, by Rob de Vos, Gerrit Withaar, Piet Zumkehr,
Jaap Zwier, Tomas Lackner and David Mannering.
Star Mountains
The Star Mountains form a mountain range which crosses the border with Papua New
Guinea, where it is continued with the name Victor Emanuel Range. It contains some of
the highest mountains of New Guinea like Mount Juliana (Peak Mandala, 4700 meter)
and Mount Antares (4170 meter). The most important villages are Abmisibil and
Mabilabol (Oksibil).
The district is rather isolated without any roads connected to the coast or larger cities.
Transport is only possible on foot and by airplane and the AMA flies rather regularly to
both villages, Abmisibil and Oksibil.
Although the area is cultivated in a close range around the villages there are wide areas of
primary forests at distance from those villages. The main danger for nature is the hunting
on Birds of Paradise, not only by the local inhabitans, but also on a rather large scale by
people from PNG who cross the border without any impediment.
The more southern village Mabilabol is mentioned Oksibil by the Indonesians, a
misinterpretation of the combination « Ok Sibil », which in fact means « River Sibil ».
Like in Abmisibil the area is rather cultivated near the village, but less intensive. Another
striking feature in Mabilabol is that it is settled in a wide flat highland valley (at 1300
meter), similar to that of the Baliem Valley. At the edges of this valley and on the
mountain slopes there are wealthy primary mountain forests.
southern part of the coastal area is better known as the Casuarina Coast. The northern part
of the area, bordered by the Sudirman and Jayawijaya Mountains, is a part of the Lorentz
National Reserve, an important protected area for wildlife.
Of course the Asmat region is famous from the historical and cultural traditions. The
woodcarvings of the shields and ornaments are world famous and very popular with
tourists and collectors. The historical habits of cannibalism and other rituals is fascinating
and still a subject to everybody's imagination. It is still believed that the famous Michael
Clark Rockefeller, he was the youngest son of New York Governor (later Vice President)
Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, who dissappeared in this area on 17th November 1961, either
drowned or was attacked by a shark or crocodile, but most favourite in the media was the
believe that he was killed and eaten by local Asmat people as a revenge of a killing party
of the Dutch patrols in 1958. The story goes that only his glasses were found in the forest
near the place where he should have come to land.
Some of the most famous biological expeditions started in this area, like the three Dutch
South New Guinea Expeditions and the English South New Guinea Expeditions, among
which the Wollaston Expedition is probably the most famous and successful one.
Collected material of these expeditions are stored in the natural history museums of
London (BMNH), Amsterdam (ZMAN) and Leiden (RMNH).
The most important town in the area is Timika, nowadays with a busy transit airport. It is
also the entrance to the commercial Freeport Mine in Tembagapura in the north. Secondly
important is Agats, the actual capital city of the Asmat. In the wide area are many smaller
villages, with or without airstrips, some only reachable by small boats.

resulted in a new arrangement of the traditional subfamilies within Noctuidae, Erebidae,

Euteliidae and Nolidae. Former families as Lymantriidae and Arctiidae are now placed as
subfamilies in the Erebidae. Although the DNA research at these taxa has not reached the
end yet it has become clear that the new classification shows a more correct.
