Hah. Philippines. 



Frnhstorfer puts pliihtas as a synonym to mixta, Mab., but 

 mixta like simpUcissima is a Parata, whereas philetas (which 

 Semper wrongly identified in Rhop. PIal.),is a Hasora, without; 

 the stigma on the fore wing, though the markings are very 

 similar; I have philetas male from the Phih'ppines which 

 exactly corresponds with Plotz's figure.

 curved, narrows iiindwards in the male into n square spot, is 

 similar in the female, but is of the same width throughout.
