Protapatura iwasei, a new Nymphalid butterfly from Kurdistan, the Northern Iraq (Nymphalidae)
Abstract
In this paper I describe a remarkable new species of the Nymphalidae, of which the first specimen was collected at Amadiya in the Northern Iraq during my collecting trip from June to July of 1970, and further two males and three females were collected at the same locality in summer of 1971. In this opportunity I wish to express deepest appreciation to the late Mr. TARO IWASE for his kind guidance during his lifetime, and also express regret over his death during my stay in Iraq. The specific name of this new species is dedicated to him. Particular thanks are due to Mr. T. G. HOWARTH, British Museum (Natural History), Professor T. SHIROZU, Kyushu University, and to Dr. Y. KUROSAWA, National Science Museum, Tokyo for their kind advices. My thanks are also due to Associate Professor T. SAIGUSA, Kyushu University for his kind suggestion on the male genitalia of the new species and to Mr. MATHEUS TOMA who cooperated with me during the collecting trip.
