I have two specimens from Timor (\V. Doherty, November to Deceml)er 1891), 

 whicli are rather .smaller and have the forewing.s shorter than the specimens of 

 P. aristeus hermocrates from other localities; in the amount of white on the 

 upperside they stand intermediate between hermocrates and parmatus, while the 

 underside has the darker tint o{ parmatus. 



A specimen from Wetter (W. Doherty, iMay 1892) almost e.xactly agrees with 

 a small Palawan specimen of ab. aristeoides, but the forewings are also in this 

 Wetter sjiecimen as short as in those from Timor. I think three specimens, which 

 are not identical with one another, too poor a material to propose a subspecific 

 name for.

According to Jones's unpublished dra\vings, P. orestes Fabr. belongs either to 

 this species or to P. aristeus anticrates Doubl. The type of P. orestes Fabr. was 

 probably a mutilated, specimen, hence the character "alls subcaiidatis." As it is
