Waigiou (Hewitso7i). 



I have this from Brunei, N. Borneo, Gennan, New 

 Guinea, Humboldt Bay, and Cairns, Queensland ; the 

 females appear to have the white discal macular band of 

 the fore-wings narrower and less complete than the males.

 Plotz's figure is very similar to de Niceville's ^ figure ; 

 de Niceville's examples came from South Celebes; he states, 

 " Described from three males and one female received from 

 the capturer Herr C. Ribbe, who calls it Pamphila 

 taprohana, a species unknown to me." I have two males 

 from the same locality.
