204 FAUNA SIMALURENSIS : 



half that of H. sehna "Weym., with more black squamae 

 on the nervature. 



The body is quite that of H. aspasia Stoll. So it was 

 first doubtful to .me, whether we had to do with a variety 

 of aspasia or with a new species. The two female speci- 

 mens however have decided my views, because they are 

 quite different from those of aspasia. 



The size of the females is that of the male. The anterior 

 wings are more rounded* with, on the upper- and under- 

 side, the pattern of the males with more brownish-black 

 on the nervules. The orange colour of the posterior wings 

 is nearly covered by, on the nervules more dense grayish- 

 brown, squamae. So this pattern resembles the most that 

 of H. naomi Wall. var. aga Fruhst. 



This species ought to be placed between H. aspjasia Stoll 

 and H. timnatha Hew. near H. hathseha Snell. 



This new species is of great importance to the geogra- 

 phical distribution of the aspasia-\\VQ butterflies. The real 

 aspasia is known from the Philippines, Moluccas and from 

 Waigeu. On Java aspasia is replaced by H. Judith F. ; 

 on Bali, Lombok, Flores, Sumbawa and Sumba we find 

 H. naomi Wall. Mr. Snellen described a species from the 

 Kangean-islands, H. hathseha^ which is smaller than vaga^ but 

 resembles this species the most. H. Hinnatha Hew. is the 

 species from Celebes. From the island Nias we know H. 

 selma Weym., which resembles H. Judith F. 



Later on I will publish figures of these remarkable 

 varieties of Pulu Babi.
