fif^s. 9, 10(1805). 

 Delias catamelas, Staudino;er, Iris, iv. p. 77 (1891). 



Menado. Four examples. B. M. 



Also four specimens in Hewitson's collection. 



Three of the examples of this variety or local race are 

 from the Gotlman and Salvin collection ; it chiefly differs from 

 typical D. Rosenhergn in the black suffusion towards base of 

 secondaries on the under surface, and was figured by Vollen- 

 hoven (pi. iii. fig. 1) as the female of that species ; and he 

 mentions both as coming from Macassar. The following 

 may be a further development of the same species, the colour 

 of the secondaries being variable. 



13. Delias Mitisi. 

 Delias Mitisi, Staudinger, Iris, vii. p. -352 (1894). 



Sula Islands. 



Differs in having the basal half of secondaries below black, 

 without yellow basal patch ; the discal area white, only 

 tinted with yellow at inner margin ; submarginal scarlet 

 spots larger. 



14. Delias melusina. 

 Delias melusina, Staudiuger, Iris, iv. p. 76 (1891), iii. pi. iii. fig. 5. 



Celebes. 



Seems nearly allied to D. zehuda, but with very melanic 

 upper surface and yellow subapical spots on under surface of 

 primaries.

 tion. In the Hewitson collection there are four more specimens 

 from Menado and Tondano.
