cJ ? . The prominent grey costal snbapical patoh of the forewing, with the 

 grey streak R' behind, and the sharply defined distal border of the hindwing, 

 distinguish this western form easily from all the species with which it occurs 

 together. 



6. Process of penis-sheath (PI. LVI. f. 23) with a single basal tooth which 

 points distad, and a number of teeth at and near the proximal edge. 



Hab. Ceylon to Java and the Philijijiines.

(??. On the whole smaller than the preceding; distal margin of fnrewing 

 shorter ; underside of body and wings more grey, middle of breast more whitish ; 

 grey colour (if upperside of forewing also more prominent, the antemedian lines 

 resp. band mostly less oblique, often contiguous iu middle with the first discal line, 

 grey postdiscal line at the distal side of the grey snl)ajiical costal patch ])rominent, 

 dentate at S(J'', the double patch distally of tliis line more rufous. 



Width of marginal band of hindwing fairly constant in Queensland examples ; 

 tlie band rather narrower in the individuals from the Louisiade Archiiielago and 

 the d'Entrecasteaux Islands. 



J. Process of penis-slieath (PI. LVI. f. 2.")) variable in dentition, sometimes 

 multideutate upon the surface and at the distal (not proximal) edge, sometimes 

 only with a few ]iroiiiiiicnt basal teetli at the (listal edge. Ilarpe (PI. L. f. 4;")) 

 Bhorter than in the preceding subs[iecies.
