distinctly more elongate in subspecies murudcnsis and the 

 hind wing is less strongly produced to tornus. In coloration 

 and pattern murudensis more nearly agrees with the typical 

 form than with subs|)ecies pallida, A. E. Prout, Bull. Hill 

 Mus., 1, p. 202, 1922. Cent. Ceram., but the orbicular is 

 smaller than in New Guinea specimens, the pale, waved sub- 

 terminal line more clearly defined. The hind wing is a 

 little paler than in typical oenistis, especially on the proximal 

 half, and the discal lunule on the under side is distinctly 

 larger.

A local species, only recorded from Sarawak, though also 

 represented in Coll. Joicey from S.W. Sumatra. Sir G. 

 Hampson also mentions a subspecies from Christmas Is. 

 It seems extremely probable that indica Moore, Proc. Zool. 

 Soc. Tiond., T867, p. 51, and japonira Leech, Proc. Zool. 

 Soc. Lond., 1889, p. 489. pi. 1. fig. 9, are also races 

 of vaqivitta. The Lio Matu specimen is a somewhat dark 

 aberration .

This s])ecies seems to have been recorded from China and 

 India only, though specimens of it from Sarawak have been 

 submitted to us by the Raffles Museum. Sarawak specimens 

 are a little more sharply marked on the fore wing than Indian 

 ones, slightly paler and more buff on the hind wing, with 

 rather better developed cell-spot and postmedial hne ; they 

 have also slightly less white at apex of fore wing and the 9 

 (from Mt. Murud) has the white discal spot a little reduced 

 in size. But all these differences are very slight, so that it 

 has not seemed wise to erect a subspecies without seeing 

 more material from both localities.
