The above-enumerated aberrations are to be- found in series from every locality, 

 except ab. nehidosas, which has only twice occurred, and both times in Sikkim. 



\\'hile in P. mitiphates Cram, and P. antiphates cdcibiades Fabr. the median 

 black streak on the underside of the hindwings extends beyond the median vein into 

 the middle median cellule, this streak stops at the median nervure in the following 

 races of P. antiphates (and, I may add, in the Celebesian P. androdes Boisd.).

The rather narrow black border to the hindwings is not interrupted at the veins, 

 and there is no white marginal border. The fourth black streak on the forewings i.s 

 very short ; the marginal band to the forewings reaches the submedian vein or not.

The hindwings have the subbasal black streak of the underside also present 

 on the upperside between the costal and median nervures; caudal grey area rather large.

Similar to decolor, but the hindwings have a white fi-inge between the nervules. 



Hal). Palawan (.3 Jj ; Mindanao (1 J); Camiguin; Borneo (?)(2cJ); Banguey

There are two specimens in the Felder collection labelled " liorneo " which are 

 rather larger than the Palawan examples, but are otherwise identical with them. 

 On Banguey Island decolor and (dcibiades occur together.

Comparing the various forms described and figured bj' Semper (I.e.) witli my 

 material from Palawan and the Philippines, I come to the conclusion that the speci- 

 mens from Mindanao and Camiguin must be referred to P. antiphates decolor 

 Standing., if they do not represent a local form by themselves (which then has to 

 stand as P. antiphates euphratoides Eimer), while the other i>lands are inhal)ited 

 by P. antiphates euphrates Feld. 



The marginal and submarginal black bands to the forewings of P. anliphntes 

 euphrates &ve \ery hroo.(\ ; they merge together at about the niiddle median nervule.
