202 FAUNA SIMALURENSIS : 



spot is vanished in the female and hardly visible in the 

 male; in both sexes the spot is very small. The subspecies 

 malayana Fruhst. will resemble the most the described 

 variety of Pulu Babi. 



2. Saletara panda Godt. var. Schönbergi Semp. (f. 

 No. 4318. 



Hab. Sinabang (Simalur). 



The first panda Schönbergi is described from the island 

 Nias and is looked upon as a local variety from that island. 

 In our collections are several specimens from Nias. 



Saletara panda Godt. nov. var. suhstriata. 9- ^^ 4319. 



Hab. Pulu Babi. 



Exp. alar. 50 mM. The external morphological charac- 

 teristics are those of S. panda Godt., but the pattern is 

 quite different. The pattern of a real panda is dispersed 

 into a brown stripe along the costa, a dusty brown spot 

 near the base of the anterior wing and some other ones 

 near the apex and outer-margin. So the inner-outline of 

 the pattern is not distinctly drawn. On the hind-wings no 

 black margin is visible, only some brown scales near the 

 outer-margin represent the band of the female panda. On 

 the underside of the wings no pattern is to be seen. 



The female specimen I received, is damaged, but the 

 left side is in a good state. 



It is also possible that we have to do with a colour 

 aberration, as I have seen only one specimen. 



3. Appias inanis, nov. spec. cf. No. 4315. 

 Hab. Pulu Babi. 



Exp. alar. 47 mM. The habitus is that of A. leptis Feld. 

 from Java ; the pattern resembles that of Fruhstorfer's sub- 

 species vadus from Lombok, yet there are characteristics 

 which I think to be specific. It is a pity that again only 

 one specimen has been collected. 



As far as I could see with a loupe without cutting off 

 the genitalia, the external form is different, the valvae 

 being more rectangular. The two bushes of hairs are planted
