P. venilia obiana (Swinhoe) comb. n. 



Acca obiana Swinhoe, 1904 : 418. <$ Obi. Type BMNH. Polymorph with broad white 

 markings. 



Acca venilia obiana $ f. pseudevanescens Fruhstorfer, 1908a : 280. Obi. Type Paris. Poly- 

 morph with reduced white markings, not confined to $ sex. 



Rahinda (Acca) venilia obiana (Swinhoe) with f. pseudevanescens Fruhstorfer ; Fruhstorfer, 

 1913 : 600. 



Apparently trimorphic, with fs. obiana and pseudevanescens occurring in approxi- 

 mate equality, f. evanescens only rarely. 

 North Moluccas (Obi). 



P. venilia leucoion (Fruhstorfer) comb. n. 



Acca venilia evanescens f. leucoion Fruhstorfer, 1908a : 281. $ Ternate. Type Paris. Poly- 

 morph resembling f. obiana, but with slightly narrower markings. 

 Rahinda (Acca) venilia leucoion (Fruhstorfer) Fruhstorfer, 191 3 : 600. 



The only forms represented in BMNH from Ternate and Morotai are f. leucoion, 

 which appears to occur also in Batjan and Halmahera as a very rare polymorph. 

 It seems hardly likely that the species is monomorphic in Ternate and Morotai, 

 but f. leucoion may have become established as the dominant form there. 



North Moluccas (Ternate, Morotai). 



P. venilia evanescens (Staudinger) comb. n. 



Athyma venilia var. (ab?) evanescens Staudinger, 1886 : 147, pi. 51. o* Batjan. Polymorph 



with greatly reduced white markings. 

 Rahinda (Acca) venilia evanescens (Staudinger) Fruhstorfer, 191 3 : 600. 



Trimorphic in Batjan, with f. evanescens a little commoner than f. pseudevanescens, 

 whilst f. leucoion occurs very rarely. 

 North Moluccas (Batjan). 



P. venilia ganina (Grose Smith) comb. & stat. n. 



Neptis ganina Grose Smith, 1894 : 353, pi. 12, fig. 4 $. 0*$ Gani, Halmahera. o" type BMNH. 



Polymorph with discal and postdiscal markings obsolete or very nearly so. 

 Acca venilia evanescens f. contunda Fruhstorfer, 1908a : 281. c?$ Halmahera. Types Paris. 



syn. n. of f . evanescens. 

 Rahinda (Acca) venilia contunda (Fruhstorfer) Fruhstorfer, 1913 : 600, pi. I26d. 

 Neptis (Phaedyma) eblis ganina Smith ; Fruhstorfer, 1913 : 617. 



Trimorphic, with f. ganina apparently the most frequent form, fs. evanescens 

 and leucoion occurring rarely. 



North Moluccas (Halmahera).
