532 A Catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Hainan 



As Moore says his species is allied to clrona Horsf., it should not be 

 associated with laeta as is done in Seitz.

We cannot distinguish any constant difference between our large 

 series of Hainan examples and Indian specimens. There are many inter- 

 mediates between the very narrow bordered attenuata and the more 

 typical hecabe. Some females cannot be distinguished from the figure 

 of aesiope given by Menetries and there are males to match them. This 

 was the form designated by Moore as subdecorata.
