IJah. Java, Philijipiues, eastwards to the Moluccas and Sumba. 



In the Tring Museum 10 c?<?, ~2 ? ? from: Java (Piepers) ; Bali, iii. iv.

 vii. ix. (Doherty) : Amboina, ii. viii. (Doherty) ; Burn, iii. (Doherty); Philipjuues. 



It is possible tliat further material of iktcroi/lossum from the larger Suiida 

 Islands will prove ungues and sitiene to be forms of the same species. The 

 tJcJ from the Philipijines which we have been able to dissect belong all to 

 ungues, but some of the ? ? are apparently not different from sitiene, being rather 

 larger and more greyish on the forewing than ungues.
