any other form of E. athamas, deep tawny ; tails without j)ale blue scaling ; upper 

 end of cell-bar of forewiug below farther from angle of cell than in atkamas athamas 

 and uraeus, similar in position to the bar of agrarius f. (temp. ?) agrarius. 



Upperside : forewiug, submarginal spot SC!^ — R' minute or absent ; band more 

 yellowish than in Palawan atkamas, 9 mm. wide upon M-, scarcely J wider at SM- 

 than black basal area, not indented upon veins, but more or less sinuate between 

 veins, last partition not more, or not so far, extending distad as partition M^ — SM^, 



the outer edge of the band taken as a whole slightly convex. Hindwiug : band 



conspicuously biconcave outwardl}', indented just -behind R' ; white submarginal 

 sjwts small but all well marked, excejjt the upjiermost one which is sometimes 

 'absent, the last two much shaded with blue; admarginal spots deep tawny, the 

 posterior ones rather broad, anal one pale, creamy at least in middle. 



Uiiilerside : band more greenish white than in the preceding races. Fore- 

 wing : cell-bar not curved at ujjper end, second cell-dot seldom indicated ; silvery 

 scaling at outside of postdisco-submarginal kidney-shaped markings not spot-like. 



Hindwing : outer border of discal baud black or blackish brown, not rufous red; 



npjjer jiostdiscal brown-red spot heavy; admarginal spots tawny, not ochraceons, 

 thin, separated at the veins, especially the posterior ones, anal one pale, at least in 

 middle ; median bars (SM^) — SM' at right angles to SM^, or even pointing a little 

 distad posteriorly, not basad as in the preceding races. 



Length of forcwing 30 — 32 mm. (Mindanao) ; our single Mindoro <J measures 

 only 27i mm., but there arc specimens in Dr. Staudinger's collection which are not 

 smaller than the Mindanao examples. Semper gives 30 — 33 mm. as the length of 

 the wing. The upper tail is in Mindoro individuals sometimes longer than is usually 

 the case in the present subspecies. 



? . Mindan ao ? ? unknown to us. The Mindoro ? has the band as i)ale as the 

 Palawan form, but the baud is somewhat narrower, the admarginal spots of the 

 hindwing are deeper in tint, below much thinner ; outer border of discal band of 

 hindwiug below blackish brown in front. Length of forewiug according to Semper 

 34—37 mm. 



Hal). Mindanao, 4 <?<?, f>/pe (Dr. Platen); Mindoro, 1 c?, 1 ? (Dr. Platen) ; 

 Luzon, 1 (? (Lorquin, ex coll. Felder") ; Bohol, Sorangani. Semper's specimens were 

 obtained in January and May to July. Occurs probably all the year round.
