This subspecies presents a problem. It differs from the subspecies from the 

 Luzon group of islands much less than in the case of the other Philippine species of 

 Neptini and it is curious that the species does not, as far as is known, occur in any 

 other island of the Mindanao group or in Mindoro. But for their apparent occurrence 

 together in Bazilan I would have treated L. illigera and L. ebusa as a single species. 



Bazilan. 



Lasippa ebusa (C. & R. Felder) comb. n. 



L. ebusa ebusa (C. & R. Felder) comb. n. 



Neptis ebusa C. & R. Felder, 1863 : 112. $ Mindoro.

Neptis (Bimbisara) ebusa ebusa Felder ; Fruhstorfer, 191 3 : 622. 



A female ex Felder coll., labelled ' Luson, Dr. Semper ', had been placed as the 

 type in the Rothschild coll. It agrees with ssp. laetitia and is certainly not the 

 type of ebusa. 



Mindoro.

Bimbisara ebusa laetitia Fruhstorfer, 1908a : 408. q*$ Bazilan. Types Paris.

 Neptis (Bimbisara) ebusa hegesandira Fruhstorfer, 1913 : 622. Mindanao, syn. n. 



Leyte, Cebu, Mindanao, Bazilan. Examples from the first two islands usually 

 have the small spots of the fore wing upper postdiscal band less sullied than examples 

 from the other two islands. 



L. ebusa euphemia (Fruhstorfer) comb. n. 



Bimbisara ebusa euphemia Fruhstorfer, 1908a : 408. $ Jolo. Type Paris.

Neptis (Bimbisara) nirvana sangira (Fruhstorfer) Fruhstorfer, 191 3 : 622. 



Sangi Is. Examples from Minahassa (N. Celebes) are closer to this minor sub- 

 species than to the next.
