Since the publication of Georg Semper's famous book, "Die Schmet- 

 terlinge der Pbilippinischen Tnseln," little work has been done on Philip- 

 pine Lepidoptera, but the fact jemains that our lepidopterous fauna is 

 fairly well known. This is mostly due to the efforts of the above-men-

Most of the new species published herein are from the Lake Lanao 

 District, Mindanao, which, up to the present, has been but little explored. 



This paper contains 11 new species together with 35 species which 

 are new to these Islands.
