admarginal, cons{)icnons line, tlie Llaek scaling extending close to the discal lunnle 

 C — SC^, which shines through from below, snbmarginal parts of patches deep black, 

 this colour forming regular lunnles or angle-shaped markings, central parts greyish, 

 postdiscal parts of patches R' — M^ often obsolete ; white snbmarginal spots larger 

 than in carolus, longer than half the width of the cellules. 



Underside cream}' buff, variegated in the usual way witli olive-brown ; median 

 bar W — M' much more distal on both wings than bar R- — R^ ; white snbmarginal 

 scaling on fore- and hindwing more extended than in carolus. Forewing : post- 

 discal, brown, indistinctly defined patches R'^ — M^ about midway between discal 

 lunnles and outer edge of white snbmarginal scaling, much more proximal than in 



carolus. Hindwing : postdiscal interspace SC'^ — R' about half the size of the 



respective postdisco-submarginal glossy jjatch ; black snbmarginal dots much closer 

 to admarginal line than in carolus. 



Length of forewing : c?, 34 — 39 mm. 

 ?, 42— 43 mm.

c?. Very close to amijcus georgius, but the black colour of the upper side more 



extended. Forewing : discal bars R" — M- heavy, wider than the tawny postdiscal 



s])ots, disc shaded at the base with brown ; black marginal area at least as wide 



behind as in georgius. Hindwing : jiostdisco-submarginal patches less pointed 



distally than in georgius, the upper five (or nearly all) fused together ; disco-mar- 

 ginal area generally darker tawny than in the other two subspecies. 



Underside on the whole somewhat darker than in georgius. 



?. Unknown.

 N. Luzon (J. Whitehead). 



The sjiecimen described as amijcus ? by Felder was said to be from Celebes ; 

 it bears on the pin one of Felder's labels on which is written : " Celebes, coll. v. 

 d. C!apellen, type." The specimen does not belong to amijcus, nor is it from Celebes, 

 but is an individual of the Javan Ch. polyxena bai/a. The ? from Polillo is, 

 according to Semper, the same as georgius, but we have some doubt that this is so ; 

 a close comparison will most likely reveal similarly slight differences between the 

 Polillo ? ¥ and those oi georgius from Mindoro, as are found in the cJcJ from Luzon 

 {amycus) and Mindoro {georgius). 



The Guimaras ? first recorded by Semper as a sjiecimen of antonius is badly 

 preserved ; it represents jierliaps a race intermediate between amycus and carolus, 

 judging from the geographical jiosition of the locality.
