D. subcarnea, obertliueri, ericsoni, metarhoda, etc. 



Sir George Hampson has created great confusion in these forms. He 

 unites obertliueri Semp. .with subcarnea, in spite of Semper's statement that the 

 underside of the abdomen is red, and therefore, if united with anything, it ought 

 to be with rdcefa Stoll. ; but it is a perfectly good species, and must be retained 

 as such. He further unites metarhoda Walk, to niceta, with which it has nothing 

 to do, as the undersurface of the abdomen is white, and not crimson. 

 The following is the present status of these insects : 



Diacrisea subcarnea (Walk.) : Jajian, China, Korea, etc. 

 D. metarhoda (Walk.) : Phiiijipine Islands. 

 Abdomen below D. ericsoni (Semper) : Kina Balu, Borneo, 

 white \ D. semperi semperi \i.oi\i%c\i. : Sumatra, 



or whitish. D. semperi roseata Rothsch. : Java. 



D. semperi borncensis Rothsch. : Borneo. 

 .D. dohertiji Rothsch. : Celebes.
