Nymphalis acilia Godart, Enc. MM. ix. p. 378, No. 94 (1819) (Waigiou). 



Herr Fruhstorfer in Seilz places this insect as a subspecies under C. ceramensis Martin, 

 thus attempting to show which of the various forms of acilia is nearest to the ancestral 

 one. I thinlv all zoologists have agreed that to carry out a classification on philogenetic 

 lines is impossible, and therefore have decided that for convenience the oldest named 

 form of a group of subspecies is to be taken as the typical name-form while considering 

 every and all the subspecies of equal biological value. Therefore in this case C. acilia 

 is the oldest name, and ceramensis Martin must stand as C. acilia ceramensis, not acilia 

 as C. ceramensis acilia.

Acca vcnilia (jiimhcrta Fruhstorfer, Stdt. Ent. Zcit., 69, p. 284 (1908) (German New Guinea). 



Herr Fruhstorfer has separated a number of species usually included in the genus 

 Neptis under the generic term Rahinda Moore, which he again divides into 2 subgenera, 

 Rahinda and Acca. As Acca is a much older name than Rahinda. it must under any 

 circumstance be used as the correct generic term for the group Herr Fruhstorfer calls 

 Rahinda. I shall leave it to the future to decide whether the fact that the second 

 subcostal nervure arises before the cell, or beyond it, is a good generic distinction ; 

 and meanwhile make use of the genus Acca here.

I see no reason to separate these yellow banded forms from the blue and white banded 

 true Acca, for there are species with white bands and also grey bands as well as alternate 

 white and yellow bands, and the fact that while in true Acca the second subcostal arises
