 S|)ace of the wing ; two large white, rounded, submarginal

Hah. Luzon, Philip[)iiies. 



Figured by iSeniper as a female aberration * of Deilemera 

 sonticum, SSwinhoe, also from the Philippines ; but I have in 

 my museum both sexes of sonticum from Mindanao and 

 Luzon. The sexes of that species are alike and are widely 

 ditiVrent from this form, though the palpi, head, and body 

 are similarly marked.
