Abstract: The records of Delias species encountered by the author and his assistants are presented in this paper, showing quite some differences with the records from the very close Baliem Valley. On the other hand a link is suggested with Abmisibil in the Star Mountains. Additionally, some notes and comments are made on individual species, including a syn. nov.
Rangkuman: Hasil penangkapan Delias oleh pengarang dan pembantu-pembantunya disajikan, menunjukkan adanya perbedaan dengan hasil dari Lembah Baliem yang letaknya sangat dekat. Dari segi lain diduga adanya hubungan dengan daerah Abmisibil di Pegunungan Bintang. Akhirnya diberikan sejumlah catatan dan komentar bertalian dengan beberapa spesies, termasuk satu syn. nov.

Records of dragonflies (Odonata) from Kabupaten Asmat and Kabupaten Mappi (Papua, Indonesia)

Abstract: Records of dragonflies collected at Katan and Senggo (both Kabupaten Mappi) and at Vriendschap River (Kabupaten Asmat) in 2009 are presented. In total 47 species belonging to seven families were collected, the majority of these belong to the Coenagrionidae (14 species) or to Libellulidae (26 species). The collection includes several poorly known species such as Plagulibasis ciliata and Nososticta rangifera. Austrocnemis maccullochi is recorded for Indonesia for the first time. One male of an undescribed Palaiargia is briefly characterized but is not officially described.

On a collection of dragonflies (Odonata) from the Island of Mioswaar (Papua Barat, Indonesia)

Abstract: A total of 28 species of dragonflies we re collected during fieldwork from the 18th to 27th of August 2009. One of these (Argiolestes roon) has since been described as new to science while several others are still undescribed (Argiolestes spec.) or may to be new to science. This small collection shows th at the Island of Mioswaar has a rich and varied dragonfly fauna comparable with that of the mainland. A number of the species have their main range or their nearest relatives on the Bird’s Head Peninsula showing th at the dragonfly fauna of Mioswaar is more related with th at of the Bird’s Head than with that of the vast other part of the mainland of New Guinea.
Rangkuman: Sebanyak 28 spesies capung dikumpul selama kerja lapangan dari 18 sampai dengan 27 Agustus 2009. Sejak itu satu di antaranya (Argiolestes roon) sudah dipertelakan
sebagai spesies baru untuk ilmu, sedangkan sejumlah lain belum dideskripsi (Argiolestes spec.) atau mungkin baru untuk ilmu. Hasil yang terbatas ini menunjukkan bahwa pulau
Mioswaar mempunyai fauna capung yang kaya dan beranekaragam, yang dapat dibandingkan dengan tanah besar. Sejumlah spesies mempunyai daerah distribusinya atau spesies yang paling dekat di semenanjung Kepala Burung. Hal ini memperlihatkan bahwa fauna capung di Mioswaar lebih erat hubungannya dengan Kepala Burung dari pada dengan bagian luas lainnya dari New Guinea.

Diversitas dan Distribusi Kupu-kupu Famili Nymphalidae pada Habitat Kali Klamani, Kebun dan Hutan di Desa Malawor Distrik Makbon Kabupaten Sorong Provinsi Papua Barat

Abstract: This survey studies the diversity and distribution of Nymphalid butterflies at three different sites at the Malawor village, District Makbon, Kabupaten of Sorong, Papua Barat Province. One site is along the banks of the river Klamani, the second in a garden area and the third in the forest. The transact count method was used for this survey and all species of Nymphalid butterflies in the above mentioned area were the object of study. For the analysis of the data the Index diversity of Shannon (H’) was used, for the Equivalence Evenness (e)
and for the Index Similarity the Coefficient of Sorensen (CCs). The survey recorded 46 species of Nymphalid butterfly in total, 33 species along the river, 33 species in the forest and 15 species in the garden area.The highest diversity according to the Shannon Wiener Index was found in the forest site (H’=1.22 and e=O.80);the lowest was found in the garden site (H’=O.82 and e=0.70).
The results of the survey are presented as a table – and Henk van Mastrigt has added some notes on Junonia altiles, one of the most common species in the garden area, and a very dark form of Hypalimnas alimena.

Keragaman Spesies Capung (Odonata) di Daerah Inlet dan Outlet Danau Sentani

Abstract: The aim of th is study was to know the diversity of dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) at the inlet and outlet area of the Sentani Lake. Data were recorded during
32 days (from 19 September till 20 October 2009) in the environment of the Sentani Lake, Jayapura. The analysis of data was done from the end of October till December 2009. The used methods were observation, Count Transect method at Transect Line and documentation.
The result of the survey -at all localities both at inlet as at outlet- consists of 449 specimens, representing 44 species in ten families. At the two inlet areas 298 specimens were recorded representing 35 speciesin 10families: 16speciesof the Family Libelullidae, 11 species of the Coenagrionidae, and 1 species each of the Gomphidae, Aeshnidae, Cordulidae, Calopterygidae, Chlorochypidae, Protoneuridae, Platycnimididae and Platystictidae. At the single outlet area of the Sentani Lake 151 specimens were recorded representing 30 species in seven families: 13 species of the Family Libellulidae, 9 species of the Coenagrionidae, 3 species of the Protoneuridae, and 1 species each of the Gomphidae, Aeshnidae, Chlorocyphidae, and Platystictidae.
The result shows that the diversity of Odonata at the inlet area is higher in comparison with the diversity at the outlet area; the equity of species in inlet and outlet areas is
about the same (ISs= 64.61%). Anisoptera species were more common at open and sunny river sites; Zygoptera were more often found close to bushes and trees at the river banks.

Studi Keragaman Kupu-Kupu Superfamili Papilionoidea di Distrik Supiori Barat Kabupaten Supiori

Abstract: The aim of th is study was to get and actuallist concerning the diversity and distribution of butterflies (Superfamily Papilionoidea) at the Maudori village, District Supiori Barat, Kabupaten Supiori. Besides that special attention should be paid on endemie species. The survey was held during two weeks, for 6 till 19 August, 2007, using the Count transeet method at Transeet Line which was repeated 50 long the number of species still increased. Collecting data was finished after no increase was found any more.
The survey resulted in 66 species,consisting of 9 species Papilionidae, 8 species Pieridae, 15 species Lycaenidae and 34 species Nymphalidae. Only within the Nymphalids was still an increase in the number till the last day, 50 th at an increase of the number was weil possible in a longer period.
During the survey 51 species were observed at Maudori village, 39 species at Siwen and at Napisndi 38 species.The Index diversity for the whole area is 1.70,which is still in the middle category; for the village Maudori it is 1.63;for Napisndi 1.60and for Siwen 1.58,which figures are all in the same middle category. The difference in the diversity
index between the three localities is caused by different habitat, different altitude and the avaible foodplants. tipe habitat, luas lokasi, ketinggian lokasi dan juga ketersediaan sumber pakan.
The Index Similarity of the three localities is quite high: for Maudori and Siwen it is 0.64; for Maudori and Napisndi 0.63 and for Siwen and Napisndi 0.60, which is caused by the close distance between the three localities.
During this survey some endemie species for the Cenderawasih Bay islands were recorded as Pareronia chinki, Delias talboti, Ideopsis hewitsonii, Taenaris scylla and
Cirrochroa imperatrix.
