Mr. A. R. Wallace on the Genus Iphias. 3 
nigro marginata, maculisque nigris serie submarginali digestis. Q. 
Alis anticis margine punctisque nigris dilatatis; posticis margine 
serieque punctorum nigris. 
Hab. N. India; Ceylon; and Malayan Islands to Celebes. 
Loe. var. (1). Timorvensis. 
Has the orange-red apical patch rather lighter in colour than in the 
other varieties, with a very narrow dark border on its upper and outer 
margin, while on the inner edge it is simply tinged with yellow where 
it comes in contact with the white ground-colour of the wing. The 
submarginal row of spots is smaller, and sometimes almost obsolete. 
Rather smaller than the other forms. 
Hab. Timor. 
Loc. var. (2). Philippensis. 
The red patch is interruptedly black-margined on its inner edge, 
where it is yellow-tinged; the submarginal triangular spots are large, 
and the two upper ones confluent with the margin. The female has a 
pale sulphur tinge. 
Hab. Philippine Islands (B. Mus.). 
Note. Specimens from the Island of Lombock agree best with these, but 
have the small submarginal spots of the Timor form (B. Mus.). 
Loe. var. (3). Javanensis. 
The red patch has a narrow, irregular black margin on its inner side, 
and the row of triangular spots is large and well defined. The female 
is very slightly yellow-tinged. 
Hab. Java. 
Note. The Indian and Ceylon specimens in the B. Mus. are very like this 
form, but have the red-and-black apical patch smaller. 
Loe. var. (4). Celebensis. 
-These generally resemble the last; but the wings are more pointed 
than in any of the preceding, and the apical patch is decidedly larger, 
the red colour spreading into the discoidal cell, and the black reaching 
across quite to the outer angle of the wing. The inner black margin 
of the red spot is also broad and clear. 
Hab. Celebes. 
Loe. var. (5). Borneensis. 
In this form the wings are pointed’as in the last; the red spot is 
much smaller, with the entire margin and the apex of the wing broadly 
black. 
Hab. Borneo. 
Remarks.—Of these varieties, the first and iast are the two ex- 
tremes, and may be distinguished at a glance. Had no others 
existed, they would have been at once characterized as very distinct
