dilatation of the clasper, as well as the tooth projecting from it, are, however, slightly 

 different in various individuals. 



iV. inops and privata agree in the structure of the antennae and genital 

 armature jjerfectly, and as there is to my knowledge no other diCFerence between 

 the yellow inops and whitish privata than that of colour, I believe that Snellen, Lc, 

 is right in uniting inops and privata to one dichromic species. It remains, never- 

 theless, a curious fact that intergradations are unknown to science. 



The .stridulatory mark of thick scales on the hind\Ting is yellowish in iiiops and 

 ab. privata, and becomes anteriorly often black in both forms. 



Tlie yellow form inops is in the Tring Museum from Bhutan, the Khasia and 

 Naga Hills, Nias, Borneo, Java, and Palawan ; Dr. .Staudinger lent us specimens from 

 Balabac and Mindoro ; llampson, I.e., records it, besides, from Sikkim and Burma. 

 The white form privata we have before us from the ;\ndaman Islands, Sumatra, Nias, 

 I'uhi Laut (S.K. of Borneo), Borneo, and Java; Hainpson records it, besides, from 

 Burma and the Philippines. Timor and the Lesser Sunda Islands are inhabited by 

 a slightly different subspecies of the whitish colour of privata. Apparently the 

 white form does not occur in North India, and the yellow form not on the Lesser 

 Sunda Islands inclusive of Timor, while the interjacent districts are inhabited by 

 both. 



Typical inopis (Wik.) comes from Assam ; the specimens are somewhat larger 

 than those fi-om the Malayan Islands, and have the black border to the hindwings 

 narrower than the individuals from Borneo and the Phili)ii>ines ; in our three 

 examples from Palawan the cellule between veins 6 and 7 of the hindwing below 

 is aU black, while in Indian and Andaman individuals the yellow area penetrates into 

 that cellule. The two ventral rows of black spots on the abdomen are in North 

 Indian inops rather large, and in most examples from the Malay Arcliipelago and 

 the Philippines moi-e or less obliterated. K. J. 



41. Neochera inops tenuimargo liothsch. sulis|). nov. 



d" ?. Differs from N. inops ab. pi-ivata (Wlk.) in the white colour of the under- 

 side of the forewing being of a purer white tint, in the black border to the iiindwing, 

 though extending beyond vein 2, being narrow, having at \ein (i a width of only 

 3i to 4 mm., and in the black costal border to the hindwing being either absent 

 or feebly marked. 



llah. Dili, Timor (tupe: W . Dolierty, Jlay 1892); Aior (\V. Dolierly, Oclolier 

 1891); Pura (W. Doherty, October 1891); Adonara (W. Doherty, November 1891). 



In the narrow black border to the hindwing this geographical form resembles 

 much certain yellow specimens from Assam, but the black border is in the latter 

 individuals, when it is as narrow as in tenuimanjo, shorter, not reaching vein 2.

2. Dominia-t\\)(\ Here come dominia (Cram.), eugenia (Cram.), stibostethia 

 Butl., basilissa (.Meyr.), bnlleri Swinh., heliconides Snell. = zaria Swinh., and a 

 number of new forms described below by Mr. Kothscbild. 



All these insects are distinguished from the other forms of Neochera by the 

 longer terminal joint of the pali)i. 



The antennae do not essentially differ from those of inops (Wlk.) ; bnt the thin 

 hairs of the 7;irt& antennae are longer, those near the edges of the middle joints being 

 as long as, or a little longer than, (he joints.
