Menado, Minahassa. B. M. 

 A wet-season form. 



In the Berl. ent. Zeitschr. vol. xlii. p. 8 (1897), Herr 

 Friihstorffer indicates the existence of a new species allied to 

 T. tominia from Lombock ; for this he proposes the name of 

 T. lomhokiana.

Celebes, Minahassa. B. M. 



The female (of which we have both wet and intermediate 

 forms) differs chiefly from that sex of T. tondana in the 

 narrower and more smoky-yellow belts on the wings ; the 

 male, however, is widely different, the yellow area on the 

 primaries being reduced to a broad oblique belt and that of 

 the secondaries bounded behind by the median vein. Con- 

 sidering the constancy of the species in this group, we have 

 at present no grounds for supposing that T. tominia alone 

 should vary to this extraordinary extent ; therefore, in spite 

 of the general similarity of the females and the fact that both 

 types appear to occur in the same islands, they must, for the 

 present at any rate, be regarded as different species. 



62. Terias celehensis. 



Terias celehensis, Wallace, Trans, Ent. Soc. ser. 3, vol. iv. p. 327, pi. vi. 

 tig. 1 (1867). 



Tondano, Macassar, Sula Islands. 



Wallace gives the locality of his male as " Menado," but 

 the only male from the Wallacean collection in Hewitson's 

 cabinet is labelled " Tond." The female from the Sula 

 Islands differs from that obtained at Macassar in having the 

 outer half of the primaries black ; it would be interesting to 

 see whether this difference was constant. The male would 

 be best described as having the primaries above like those of 

 T. sari and the secondaries like those of T. tominia. All 

 the specimens have an intermediate season character of under 

 surface.
