h. A. albiformis ternatensis snbsp. nov. 



S. The lower outer angle of the white area of the forewing is not acute as in 

 albiformis albiformis, but rounded off; the black colour extends at the costal margin 

 to the base, so tliat there is scarcely a trace of the costal black dots ; of the three 

 black spots at the base of the cell the two basal ones are merged together, while the 

 outer one is arrowhead-shaped. The black border of the hindwing is broader than 

 in albiformis albiformis, measuring 4 mm. at vein 6 and 2f mm. at vein 2, and 

 extends bej'ond the extremity of vein la. On the nuderside the cellule between 

 veins 7 and 8 of the hindwing is black, except a white streak along vein 7. Black 

 colour on palpi and thorax more extended, the prothoracic lobes being black with a 

 yellow border; segments 3 to 6 of the abdomen are ringed with black above in tlic 

 type-specimen, while in the second mate the abdomen is marked as in iill)iformi!< 

 albiformis. 



Hab. Ternate (W. Doherty), 2 S. 



A female from the island of Sangir in Dr. Staudiuger's collection represents 

 jjerhaps a third subspecies of albiformis. The white area of the forewing is shaped 

 as in albforniis albiformis ? , the outer notch of the anterior edge of that area more 

 distinct. The border of the outer margin of the forewing is decidedly broader, 

 especially between vein 2 and anal angle. On the underside the cellule between 

 veins 7 and 8 of the hindwing is for the greater part black. The dorsal and ventral 

 black spots of the abdomen are much larger than in albiformis albiformis.

c?. Antennae with lateral impressions and tufts of line hairs as in ,1. keliconia ; 

 harpe nearly as in helironia, simple, spoou-shaped, symmetrical at apex. The white 

 area resembles that of A. albiformis to a certain extent. There is in one specimen 

 (^4) from Falabuau a fuscous elongate patch in the basal half of the wing in front of 

 vein \b, and a small fuscous streak before this patch at the median vein ; the black 

 basal dots number from costal to hinder margin : 4, 1, 3, 1. In another specimen 

 (/?), from Bali, the white area is very much reduced in size ; it is limited behind by 

 the submedian fold, and does not extend, at the median nervure, beyond the middle 

 of the cell; in a third individual {€), Jit. Gedo, the area has so increased in size as to 

 occupy the whole wing except the apical fourth. 



The hindwing has in specimen li no distinct black spots to the forewing above ; 

 in individual (7 there are two spots near anal angle, the posterior one of wliich is 

 indistinct; wliile in the third male {A) both these spots are well marked, and there 

 is, besides, an indistinct, rather large, fuscous postmedian spot between veins 

 4 and 6.
