specimen for inspection from Batjan in which the onter border is broadly black. 

 On the underside the ochraceons area of the forewing varies mnch in extent ; it 

 is nsnally larger tban in orbona significan-s, and occupies in one specimen from 

 Halmahera nearly the whole wing ; the fnscous apical area is traversed by yellow 

 nervalar lines ; the costal black spot on the hiudwing is more or less produced 

 towards the l)ase. 



? . The brown streaks of the forewing are much reduced. The two pale patches 

 are tinged with yellow, and mostly larger than in the mole; in a ? from Morotai the 

 outer patch is scarcely traceable. There are no brown streaks in apical area of the 

 wing. The hindwing has no black border in our specimens. On the imderside 

 the costal spots on fore- and liindwing are nearly eijual in size and mostly produced 

 towards the base of the wing.

? . Upperside : forewing with two black costal dots only, the outer one of 

 orhnmi orbona being absent ; basal area deeper orange than in orbona orbona ; the 

 dark tawny streaks merged together, entirely filling uj) the space between the two 

 white jiatches and surrounding them ; the median veins not yellow as in the other 

 subspecies of orbona, subcostal veins very narrowly yellow ; the dark fuscous area 

 extends at the costal margin as far as about 5 mm. short of the apex of the wing, 

 its outer edge is concave before and again behind the outer discal white patch: the 

 outer region of the wing without a trace of brown lines as iu orbona orbona. Hind- 

 wing unicolorous, like tlie ajnlcrside; the latter, however, with a small costal black 

 spot both to the fore- and hindwing.

(J. Differs from orbona orbona m the two patches of tlie forewing above being 

 more or less tinged with ocliraceous, and in the black costal spot of the underside of 

 the hindwing not being produced towards the base. The brown streaks of the 

 forewing vary very much in extent, but they are apjiarently never so much reduced 

 as ill certain specimens — so-called ti/jiiral specimens — of orbona. The yellow linos 

 in the ajiical region of the wing are sometimes very tliin, in one Waigeu individual 

 nearly absent. The two pale patches are seldom as white as in orbona orbona. The 

 hindwing lias often a black border of variable breadth : the inner edge of the border
