in the ?; whether this difference is constant, we do not know, as we have not 

 examined a longer series of lampeclo. Hiibner's figure (without locality) agrees 

 best with Palawan examples, while the type oi zepli>/rus, which has also no locality, 

 is without distinct white discal band on the underside of the hindwing.

S ? . ]Vinff.s abovf : with the markings cream colour. Forewing : discal and 



postdiscal spots R'— M' of the same size, or discal one larger, sometimes fused 

 together ; patch M^ — SM'' at least twice as long as (in direction of veins) broad ; 



snbmarginal dots M' — SM- small, the others absent. Hindwing: band narrowing 



behind ; admarginal spots mostly divided into triangular dots. 



Underside : fawn colour. Forewing : median bar R^ — R^ continuous with 



bar R' — M' or very little more proximal ; discal luniform bar R' — M' marked, 

 at least vestigial, but bar M' — M- not present, except a vestige of it behind M' ; 

 postdiscal yellow spots small, deep chrome colour, sometimes tinged with rufons. 



Hindwing : series of median bars straight to (SM'), with a narrow white baud 



at outside ; discal bars well-marked, black, regularly arched, postdiscal rnfous red 

 spots all present, no black bars at their outside ; admarginal spots smaller than in 

 lampedo, farther from margin. 



?. Like cJ, but band of npperside twice as wide, that of hindwing at least as 

 wide behind as in front, approaching snbmarginal dots behind ; admarginal dots 

 R'— M', or even R^ — M', of forewing vestigial ; tails longer, especially upper one. 



Length of forewing : cJ, 37 — 40 mm. 

 ,, „ ? , 4(] — 48 mm. 



Sexual organs of JcJ, see PI. VIII. ; clasper with a sharp hook and a blunt 

 lobe at apex (f. 39 side view, f. 40 dorsal view), inner ventral armature consists of 

 a rectangular ridge which is not produced into a distinct tooth ; penis (f. 21) armed 

 ■dorsally with a series of teeth, which becomes doubled and trebled, where the penis 

 is dilated, and turns round towards the ventral side where the denticulation is 

 very heavy ; penis-funnel slender, much less curved than \u fabius fabius, suddenly 

 hooked at end (f. 50).

In the Sangir examples the rufous red postdiscal spots of the underside of the 

 hindwing are rather larger tiian in the ? ? from Celebes and Talaut. 



I". Ch. fabius mangolianus Rothsch., snbsp. nov. 



? . Wings above : with the markings nearly as yellow as in lampedo, except 

 the submarginal spots of the forewing, which are creamy white ; band of fore- and 

 hindwing from M' of forewing to (SM') of hindwing narrower than in hannibal ?. 



Forewing : more elongate than in lianiiibal ? , submarginal spots R' — SM- 



preseut, spot >SC'— R' vestigial, the last two fused together.
