/Wptlid nutcnreua var. maccalicifus Stuudinger. //-is- II. p. tj (188D) (Palawan). 



Differs from P. macareus Godart in the discal white streaks and submarginal 

 .spots to the hindwings being much smaller ; dit^cal streaks of the forewings as broad 

 as in that race. 



Female unknowTi. 



Hah. Palawan (5 t?). 



In this and the IJomean race the three spots outside the end of the coll arc 

 - mostly merged together with the corresponding three streaks of the discal row ; this 

 is also the case in one of my Siamese specimens of P. macareus indiciis m.

The female is dimorphic ; from Sikkim and Hliutan I know only of such 

 ."specimens which are almost identical with the male, except one specimen which 

 .'ipproaches the palest examples of the Assam form ; while I received from Assam 

 only fem,ales of a much darker colour. The Assam females are more or less blackish 

 brown, and have often a bluish tint ; the white streaks are much reduced in length 

 and breadth ; the anal yellow spot is sometimes very small, and such examples 

 resemble P. leucothoi' WestwT 



I do not know why dark females alone come from the Khasia Hills ; perhaps the 

 native collectors do not catch the white form because it looks like the valueless male. 

 If the Asmm females are all of the dark colour, and the Sikkiin and lihiilan females 

 of the light colour, P. xenocles mu.st be divided into two local races, of which the 

 Assamese one would be typical. 



Two males from Siam, Burmese frontier, are aberrant in having the submarginal 

 Kliots of the hindwings more or less obliterated and the anal yellow mark small. 



Tlie hairs of the abdominal margin of the hindwings vary from being white to 

 being almost orange yellow.
