3b. MIMEGRALLA ALBIMANA SEPSOIDES (Walker) 



Calobata sepsoides Waxkes, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, vol. 3, p. 124, 1859. 

 Mimegralla alhimana sepsoides (Walker) Hennig, Konowia, vol. 14, p. 200, 

 1935. 



I have not seen material referable to the subspecies, but Hennig cites 

 records from Celebes, Amboina, Halmahera, Aroe Islands and 

 Ternate (?). 



3c. MIMEGRALLA ALBIMANA GALBULA (Osten-Sacken) 



Calobata galhula Osten-Sacken, Berliner Ent. Zeitschr., vol. 26, p. 202, 1882. — 

 SwEZEY, Bernlce P. Bishop Mus. Bull. No. 189, p. 198, 1946. 



Mimegralla aliirnana galiula (Osten-Sacken) Hennig, Konowia, vol. 14, p. 200. 



Mimegralla alhimana palauensis Hennig, Konowia, vol. 14, p. 201, 1935 (new 

 synonym ) . 



Ryukyu Islands: Okinawa, 12 specimens. Taiwan: Hokuto, 1 

 specimen. Philippine Islands : Luzon, 10 specimens ; Samar, 1 speci- 

 men; Negros, 1 specimen; Palawan, 2 specimens; Calamian group 

 (Culion Island), 1 specimen. Marianas Islands: Guam, 9 speci- 

 mens; Saipan, 1 specimen. Caroline Islands: Yap, 1 specimen; 

 Ulithi Atoll, 7 specimens ; Truk, 7 specimens ; Nukuoro Atoll, 2 speci- 

 mens; Ponape, 2 specimens. Kapingamarangi, 1 specimen. Palau 

 Islands: Peleliu, 1 specimen; Koror, 5 specimens; Babelthuap, 3 

 specimens. 



Hennig (1935, p. 200) cites M. a. galhula from the Philippine Is- 

 lands (Palawan, Mindanao, Luzon) and Taiwan (several localities, 

 including Lambe Island). Our extra-Philippine material is gener- 

 ally a little smaller and paler ; the dark femoral bands are narrower 

 or reduced to indistinct spots on the dorsal side of the femora and the 

 wing pattern is very indistinct; but the Philippine specimens also 

 vary in these respects and it is deemed unwise to recognize any dis- 

 tinctions. The Palau Islands material varies enough to bring it well 

 within the limits of gaTbula. 



3d. MIMEGRALLA ALBIMANA CONTRABIA (Walker) 



Calobata contraria Walker, Proc. Linn. Soc. London, vol. 5, p. 253, 1861. 

 Mimegralla alMmana contraria (Walker) Hennig, Konowia, vol. 14, p. 201, 1935. 



New Guinea: Cyclops Mountains, 5 specimens; Finschhafen, 20 

 specimens; Hollandia, 4 specimens; Milne Bay, 2 specimens; Nadzab, 

 Markham River Valley, 3 specimens ; Toem, 2 specimens. 



The type was from Dorey, and Hennig cites the following localities, 

 also all in New Guinea: Ramoi; Soron; Lorentz River; Alkmaar; 

 Biak Island ; Rivier Kamp ; Simpsonhaf en. This large form is one of 

 the more distinct ones. Most specimens have the anterior margin of 

 the front reddish, an exceptional character in the M. alMmana circle.
