divisions nearly reaching the discal spots, and divided 

 from each other by brown spaces ; this marginal border 

 and the inner black areas of the wing towards the base 

 and in the cell are ornamented with white atoms. The 

 light marginal lunations on both surfaces of all the wings 

 are creamy-white. In the S they are white and only 

 seen on the undersurface of the wings.

Habitat : Batjan, Gilolo, Morty ; taken by Mr. A. R. 

 Wallace ; Dodinga, Ternate, according to Oberthiir, 

 Halmahera (or Gilolo, as it is called by the "natives) : 

 localities also quoted by him in the " Ann. Mus. Civ.

Batjan is a small island situate S.W. of Gilolo, or 

 Djilolo ; Morty Island is nearly at the extreme N.E. of 

 Djilolo or (Halmahera), and is slightly larger than Batjan; 

 Ternate lies West of Djilolo at about midway of the 

 latter's coast ; the species therefore appears to be confined 

 to the Djilolo group of Islands, or at any rate to a limited
