surface is a creamy orange-white extending to the sub- 

 median nervure ; the fine-line fringe lunules on both 

 surfaces are orange creamy-white. Head, thorax and 

 abdomen are dark fuscous brown ; the eyes castaneous ; 

 antennae and legs (which are long and graceful) intensely 

 black. 



Underside of thorax with the usual pectoral red mark, 

 and of the abdomen with the articulations slightly indi-

Habitat : Celebes, Macassar, SE. Saleyer (very com- 

 mon), Bantimoerong. 



The var. bauermanni, Rober, is of no great importance, 

 except that it comes from Kabia Island, as does Oberthiir's 

 synonym pattens, in addition . to the other localities 

 mentioned ; but, for the purpose of comparison, I give 

 Mr. Oberthiir's description : — " 0. palleus (an aberration 

 ■ — or var. ? — of O. Haliphron), " 2 smaller than the typical

yellow; the white adnervular rays present more wruter~ 

 than in the type form ; the head, thorax, and abdomen 

 are of a dark grey, slightly golden. This it is which gives 

 to this variety its special aspect ; the pronotal red collar 

 is very strongly accentuated in the two examples which 

 I possess." Oberthiir, ' Et. d'Ent.,' iv. p. 110 sub. n. 7
