There are two females in BM(NH) ex Felder coll. labelled ' Celebes Lorquin ' 

 which had been placed as syntypes in the Rothschild coll. ; but as the authors 

 state ' Dr. Semper cepit ' in their original description the specimens cannot be 

 accepted as types. Moreover their markings are slightly narrower than in athenais, 

 showing an approach to ssp. attica. There is also a normal female of athenais 

 without locality data but labelled ' phrygia var. ' in the handwriting of R. Felder ; 

 it had been wrongly placed in Rothschild coll. as the type of phrygia. 



A pair of butterflies provisionally identified as aberrations of this species were 

 sent to BM(NH) by Jumalon. The male (Mindanao, Davao, 5.viii.ig6o), which 

 has since been returned to Jumalon, has the fore wing apex unusually acute and the 

 termen slightly concave. On the upper surface the markings are even narrower 

 than in ssp. attica. On the fore wing the cell streak and streak beyond cell are 

 conjoined and continuous and there is no postdiscal spot in space 8. On the hind 

 wing the discal band is just over 1 mm. wide, is crossed by dark veins and ends at 

 vein 7 ; the postdiscal band is narrower and ends at vein 6. On the under surface 

 the ground colour is dark brown, the usual pale streak above the fore wing cell is 

 almost obsolete and there is a very small postdiscal spot in space 8. On the hind 

 wing the basal streak is narrow, short and sullied and the subbasal streak is barely 

 indicated ; beyond the postdiscal yellow band there are two prominent yellowish 

 grey submarginal fasciae in place of the usual one. The female, from Bohol, has 

 been presented to BM(NH) ; its wing shape is normal and it is marked like the 

 male, except that the orange yellow markings of the upper surface are rather paler, 

 whilst on the under surface the basal streak is a little better defined. This pair 

 looks like a distinct species and might just possibly be so.
