Ri — M' isolated, pointed distall.v, their snbmarginal parts black npon internervnlar 

 folds : white submarginal dots somewhat linear, but not half so long as the cellules 

 are broad, except the upper two. 



Underside : lighter parts buff-yellow, this colour often occupying the greater 



part of the wings. Forewing : median bars R^ — M' continuous, or nearly so ; 



median interspaces M' — SJP considerably narrower than the respective discal ones ; 

 postdiscal, blackish, ill-defined, inconspicuous patches SC^ — M- about one-third the 



way from the edge of the pale tawny orange marginal band to the discal luuules. 



Hindwing : white submarginal dots C — R^ larger than the others, all rather sharply 

 defined ; postdiscal interspace SC^ — R^ very little smaller, or even larger, interspace 

 C'—SC- always larger, than the resj)ective greyish postdisco-submiirginal patches; 

 upper tail 8 to mm. long, second 6i to 7 mm. 



Length of forewing : S, 36 — 39 mm. 

 „ „ „ 9 , 44—48 mm. 



Hab. Mindanao (t>/pe) and Camiguin de Mindanao. In the Tring Museum 

 3 (Jc?,l ? from Mindanao ; several ? 9 from Mindanao in Dr. Staudinger's collection. 



The specimens from Bohol and Camotes recorded by Semper as amycus belong 

 perhaps to this race, or may be intermediate between carolus and amyous ; we have 

 not seen any examples from those islands. AVe have no doubt that the individuals 

 from Camiguin de Mindanao are carolus. 



b. Ch. amyous georgius.

cJ. Wingis above tawny orange, much shaded with olive brown. Forewing : 



median bars SC°— M^ strongly developed, the last of them seldom feeble, bar 

 M'— (SM') also developed as a rule, bars R' — M- luniform, bar R" — R' very much 

 nearer cell than bar R^ — M' ; discal bars R- — SM" rather thin, black or brown, very 

 much thinner than the tawny orange spots at their distal side ; black border of wing 

 posteriorly broader than in the preceding subspecies, being between M' and M- three 

 times as wide as the respective postdiscal, tawny orange interspace ; veins more 



or less black from cell to black area, especially in front. Hindwing : postdisco- 



snbmarginal patches almost gradually decreasing in size abdominad, the upper four 

 fnsed together or touching each other, patches R' — M^ pointed distally, sometimes 

 produced to the admarginal line, which is conspicuous ; discal Innule C — SC* 

 vestigial. 



Underside: median bar R^— M' much more distal than bar R-— R'' on both 

 wings ; postdiscal interspaces C. — R' of hindwing very much smaller than the 

 respective discal ones ; tails of about equal length, upper one 5 to 5^ mm., second 

 4| to 5 mm. 



?. \V//ii/s abote tawny olive. Forewing : less falcate than in carolus, discal 



band and postdiscal spots creamy buff'; median bars R^— M^ heavy, black, bars 

 R^ — M'' more or less strongly luniform, bars SC* — R- much thinner, sometimes 

 obsolete ; discal bars R' — SM'' thin, but sharply defined, black or brownish black, 

 strongly arched, bar R= — R^ also curved, but dilated basad behind R^ bars SC* — R^ 

 developed to one large black patcli which is about as wide at R- as at SU°, fused 



with the black outer area ; postdiscal creamy but!' spot SO*— SC° vestigial. 



Hindwing : postdisco-submarginal patches larger than in carolus, close to the
