(?. Stands intermediate between confim.i and iialka in the number and size of 

 the black spots of the hindwing below, there being present, besides the costal spot, 

 two or three other si)ots, situated at end of cell, outside cell on disc, and in middle 

 of cell respectively. 



?. Basal black dots three or four in number, extremely small, as in the Timor 

 race of ee/ens. Underside: black spots of forewing as small as in reducta; hindwing 

 with one small costal spot or without spots. Colour of forewing above faintly 

 brighter than in red acta, the veins a little more pronounced white.

The great similarity between the specimens from Palawan, Java, and the Loo 

 Choo Islands is very remarkable, since the form inhabiting Borneo is easily 

 distinguishable. 



The Bali specimen has the black spots on the underside of the hindwing more 

 strongly develojied, and thus forms a transition to egen8 indica. W. R.

Walker's description of effe?is applies both to tlie form inhabiting India and to 

 that found in Java ; as Walker, however, says of his egens that the hindwing has 

 from one to six black sjiots beneath, we refer the subspecific name effens to the 

 Javan form, which has one or two spots on the hindwing, not to the Indian form, 

 which has the greater number of spots. Strict priority ! 



cf. The veins of the forewing are obviously whitish ; the spaces between them 

 are often, especially towards the outer margin, somewhat fuscous. On the underside 

 the hindwing lias sometimes light fuscous submarginal streaks ; of the six black 

 spots the two between the end of the cell and the anal angle arc often obliterated. 



? . Brighter than the male. The hindwing below is apparently always devoid
