Mr. Oberthiir also, in the same article, makes the fol- 

 lowing observation on 3 examples of a $ var. of Haliphron 

 which he received from Celebes (or Kabia Island ?) 



" This variety differs from the type by the extension of 

 the golden yellow discal band of the lower wing. In 

 those sent from Celebes, which I recently received, I 

 found three <? examples— in one of which the narrow 

 yellow band did not encroach within the cell ; on the 

 contrary in the 2nd individual the yellow band occupied 

 a small portion of the cell ; and lastly the 3rd specimen 

 is intermediate between the two others, and has two 

 yellow dots within the cell." By which it may be seen, 

 on referring to my description of the <? at the beginning 

 of this article, that the normal character of the discal 

 yellow band allows of a small invasion of the discoidal 



cell, more or less pronounced in some individuals. Other 

 variations of the females of this species present the fol- 

 lowing features :— 2 with very light anterior wings ; the 

 basal or abdominal margin very light brown (v. bauermamii) ; 

 also with the anterior wings darker. Hab. Kalao, Saleyer ; 

 with yellow and black areas of hind wings more or less 

 contracted, S. Celebes, S. Flores, Lombreu, Pantar, 

 Adonara, Alors, Wetter. 



2 very dark ; hind wing very black, yellow area very 

 small ; obsolete traces of discal spots. Hab. Wetter. 

 This may really be a form of Staudmgeri. 



My figures are drawn from specimens in my own 

 museum, which were kindly sent me by the late Philip 

 H. Gosse two years before I commenced this monograph.
