the same colour as the rest of the wing, and hence very iuconspicnous : tlicre are 

 a white angle and a wliit<! dot at the Imse behind the median nervnre, which are 

 very prominent ; the black border of the liindwing is as broad as in murina, and 

 prolonged along the abdominal margin. On the underside the white area of the 

 forewing resembles that of intacta f. intada in width ; the fold which corresponds 

 to vein \c is black ; on the hindwiug the black spots in the cell are miinite, the 

 basal one is absent ; the black border is dilated at some of the veins. Thorax 

 nearly as in intacta f. intucta, abdomen more yellow. The three other specimens 

 are faded ; the white streak is absent from the forewing above, but the specimens 

 agree otherwise well with fhe ti/pc individn.al ; in one of them the abdominal region 

 of the hindwing is not blackish on eitlier side, and the thorax is more yellow than 

 in tiie ti/j,,'; iu another the black dots of the cell of the liiiulwing are entirely 

 obliterated.

L A. heliconia riukiuana sabsp. nov. 



Agrees with A. heliconia philippina f. philippina, but has the thorax much 

 brighter orange, and iu most specimens the white markings at the base of the fore- 

 wing larger ; the submedian vein is in only one of our individuals white iu the 

 basal lialf, in all the otlier sj)ecimens the veins arc not streaked white. The median 

 white streak is shaped as in f. philippina : it is always produced along vein 3. 

 The hindwing is as in f. philippina, but the black spot at the end of the cell 

 is more often marked on the upperside. The black dorsal spots have very often 

 developed to half-riugs, as iu bjiie. 



\\'e know only of one form of this subspecies.

]\Ionomor])liic. The thorax is almost as brown as the forewing. The narrow 

 portion of the median white streak of the forewing is dusted over with brown scales, 

 and hence less white than in the preceding subspecies. Tlie hindwing is nearly 

 as in A. heliconia riuhiuana, A. heliconia philippina f. philippina, and ilicta f dicta, 

 but the base is slightly tinted with black. The abdomen is ringed black above, 

 and more ochraceous than the thorax ; the legs are streaked black.

The Philippine subspecies is obviously dimorphic ; the first (darker) forni 

 resembles that from the Loo Choo Islands very mucli, while the other (lighter) 

 form comes close to 'Hcta f. extensa from 13onieo.
