i. A. heliconia timorana subsp. nov. 

 Oil the island of Timor the representative q'l A. heliconia is agiiiu ilimor|ihie. 



«'. A. heliconia timorana f. timorana. 



Differs from murina f. murina, which it resembles very closely, ia the head 

 and tliorax being nearly of the brown colour of the forewing ; the yellow colour 

 at the base of the forewing oi murina from Sambawa is here replaced by tawny 

 olive. The white median streak of the forewing is much reduced; in the ti/pe- 

 sjieciiucn there is only a spot between veins 2 and 3 and another in the apex of 

 the cell, the basal portion of the streak being absent: in another specimen there 

 is a spot between veins 2 and 3, and a line behind the median nervure. In the ? 

 the streak is altogether absent. The abdomen is duller yellow than in Sambawa 

 specimens of tn/iri/m. 



r. A. heliconia timorana f brevipennis forma nov. 



In both sexes the forewing is above somewhat darker than in intacfa ; the 

 3'ellow colour has almost entirely disappeared from the base ; the basal half is more 

 or less visibly streaked with a number of white lines on and between the veins ; 

 the median white area is reduced to a conspicnans white dot at the lower angle of 

 the cell. The bla(dc border of the hindwing is more sharply defined than in itinrina, 

 but of the same width as in that subspecies; it is not jirolonged along the abdominal 

 margin, but is in one individual dilated near the anal angle. On the imdersidc the 

 white colour of the forewing is as much extended as in Intacta f. lam, occupying 

 part of the apex of the cell, the base of the cellule between veins 2 and 3, and the 

 greater half of the space between the median vein and the abdominal margin: the 

 white area is larger iu the ? than in the d. The disc of the hindwing is pure 

 white; the black spots in the cell are small, the external border is indented at the 

 veins, and there are black scales along vein \b iu most individuals. The head and 

 thorax are nearly as dark as the forewing, while the abdomen is above orange witli 

 black rings. In one male the thorax and base of the forewing are more yellow 

 than in the other specimens. In another male the white spot at the ajiex of the 

 cell of the forewing above is absent. The black spot at the end of the cell of the 

 hindwing is either absent from the ujjperside {t;/pe.), or slightly marked. 



One of our specimens differs from the normal ? of hrevijioinis iu having on the 

 forewing above, besides a white dot at the lower angle of the apex of the cell, a long 

 narrow white triangle extending from near the base along the median nervure 

 and vein 2 to near the outer margin, touching with its anterior angle the before- 

 mentioned spot.

k. A. heliconia kalaonica subsp. nov. 



We have four females of this subspecies ; no males. The (yyve-specimen 

 resembles the ? of murina f. murina in the size of the median white streak on the 

 forewing ; it differs both from murina f. murina and intacta f. intacta in the following 

 characters: the base of the forewing is not yellow; the black basal dots are of nearly
