Feuiulr. Similar to A. Nig-erriina biit wliite area on 

 forewing's much narmwer. inore clavate, aiul veiT iiidistinct. 

 A row of siibai)ical wliiti.sli spots also serves to distiiigiiisli 

 it froiii Xigeri-ima. Hindwiiigs liaAT also a mucli sinaller 

 area of liglit, colour, and it is primrose .yelloAV instead of 

 white. Underside - Basal half of forewings is white instead 

 of 3'ellow as in Xigerrima. and within the cell it is yellowish 

 g-reen instead of yellow. Hindwings as in Xig-errima, bnt 

 crossed by an irregnlar black bar a third tVom tlie niai'gin.

Feniüle. L'pper surface almost identical with female of 

 Niasana. but the light markings pale grey instead of prim- 

 rose yellow. Underside forewings similar to Xiasana, but 

 less distinctly marked. Hindwings like Argenthona . l)Ut 

 without the red spot in the cell, and the black central band 

 is broken ui) into six oval spots by the broad white borders 

 of the nervures and nervules. Basal third of hindwings 

 more orange than in Argenthona. Expanse — 3in. This singie 

 specimen is similar to a lemale of D. Periboea in my 

 collection, but it must at present stand as a new variety. as 

 it diifers from Periboea $ in its somewhat smaller size. 

 darker colour and much bolder dark markings. Further 

 material of both males and females from Celebes would be 

 acceptable to throw more light upon this form. 



*) Das vom Rev. W. J. Holland als App. l'anda vnr. niserriina 

 be8chriei)ene O ist meiner Ansicht nach die dimorphe weibliche Celebes- 

 Form der App. Panda Godt. var. Nathalia Feld. Ich erhielt ein ganz 

 gleiches O unter einer grösseren Anzahl von g § . Die gewöhnliche $-Forni 

 von Nathalia dürfte auf Celebes gar nicht vorkommen. 0. Staudinger.
