however, from our sight on settling down. The white stripe of the hindwing beneath even helps to split up 
the contour of the butterfly and to make it still more invisible thereby. 
reghm. L. regina Druce occurs in Borneo beside L. sriwa and differs from sriwa, according to the statements 
by H. H. Druce, by the inner marginal zone of the forewing beneath remaining white. There are but few speci¬ 
mens known. The type, a <$, is in the Coll. Godman of the British Museum. Moulton mentions regina also 
from the Islands of Melikop, Banguey, and from Labuan. 
lahomius. L. lahomius Kheil is rare in Nias. 3 above white with a broad, black distal margin of the forewing. 
The hindwing with a grey-tinted costal and terminal margin. Under surface brown, speckled with white. Accor¬ 
ding to Kheil, easily discernible from L. regina by the predominance of the blackish distal margin of the forewing, 
particularly, however, by the intensely blackened hindwings. Denomination according to Lahomi, a village in Nias. 
L. luca seems to replace the preceding species in Perak, in Sumatra and Borneo. There are but quite 
few specimens known, and de Niceville reports that he received only 2 from Sumatra and 2 $$ from 
luca . Perak. A cotype from Sumatra of luca Nicev. is now in my collection. The $ resembles above L. lahomius 
Kheil c3, but the distal margin of the hindwing is still more extensively covered with brown. Under-surface 
preponderately whitish with a sharply dentate, black anteterminal band of both wings. In the disc of the 
hindwing there is a brown, ring-shaped marking in the midst of a delicate, bluish-grey and brown marbling. 
staudingeri. ■ — staudingeri Druce. The $ has a narrower black marginal part of both wings than the luca-Q- The 3 is above 
blackish with an extensive blue-white distal area of the forewing. The under surface throughout brownish, 
with rudimentary bands bordered with black. On the Kina-Balu at an elevation of about 4000 ft., on Mount 
Matang at an elevation of about 2000 ft. 
evora. L. evora spec. nov. is above allied to L. regina, L. sriwa (141 f) and L. luca, throughout white with 
an extensive black apical border of the forewing. The undersurface resembles L. sriwa. Forewing towards 
the base, however, white, only the apical part marbled with brown. The hindwings exhibit instead of the white 
stripe of L. sriwa which remains free, a white roundish discal area. The other part of the wings is delicately 
mixed with brown. Sula Islands, type in the Coll. Semper in the Senckenberg Museum at Francfort. 
L. marmorata, an insignificant, though widely distributed species. Its range extends from the 
Philippines in the north and from Tenasserim through the whole of Macromalayana. The whole basal part of 
the forewing whitish, or bluish-grey, according to the habitat, the apical border being broad black. In the 
name-type and a race of North Borneo also the hindwing is brightened up by bluish-grey, the other insular 
marmorata. forms exhibit black hindwings. —■ marmorata Moore (141 f), the lightest off-branch of the total species. Forewing 
of the 3 almost white, with a delicate violet tint, while in the $ lying before me from Singapore, it is dull 
chalk-coloured. Hindwing with a pale bluish-grey basal zone comprising yet the middle zone. Under surface 
grey with whitish diffuse spots, submarginal accumulations of blackish scales and indistinct brown maculae 
of the hindwings being preponderately speckled with a silvery grey. Type from the Mergui Archipelago, other 
examples are known from the Shan States, Burma, and Perak. A $ was found by Dr. Martin in Singapore. — 
watsoniana. watsoniana Nicev. excels L. marmorata in size. It is to be considered the dry period form of it; 3 with one white 
discal spot on each wing, the whole hindwings and the basal zone of the forewing light greyish-violet. The 
$ has besides an entirely violet upper surface of the hindwings. Under surface of the forewings white with 
hilaeira. a brown distal margin. Very rare, known only from the Shan States and the Karen Hills in Burma. — hilaeira 
Fruhst., a remarkably differentiated insular race. Both sexes without any grey or whitish hue at all on the 
dull blackish-brown hindwings. Also the whitish basal area of the forewing darkened, as if covered with a 
grey veil. Flying time chiefly in the first months of the year, but there are also examples before me from April, 
javanica. June, and August. North East Sumatra. -— • javanica Fruhst. is in size inferior to the Sumatran sister-race. The 
3 reminds us of L. massalia (141 f) by a sharply defined, white, roundish spot at the apex of the cell from which 
a bluish-grey scaled area extends to the base of the wing. Also in the $ the whitish zone of the forewing is 
much more reduced than in marmorata, hilaeira etc., and an indistinct, white, discal oblique band gradually 
warms into a bluish-grey basal area. Under surface of the forewings more extensively white, that of the hindwings 
shot with a lighter yellow than in the vicarious types from Sumatra and Singapore. Before me only from East 
stenosa. Java, the Tengger Mountains at an elevation of about 600 m. Extremely rare. — stenosa subsp. nov. is before 
me from Sintang, South West Borneo. The $ approximates the Javanese vicarious type, but the basal zone 
of the forewing appears more homogeneously bluish-grey without the white distal delimitation. Habitus be-

nom. nov. (for the name preoccupied in 1885 ohscura Dist. and Pryer 188 f.). According to a statement by 
Druce, the hindwings exhibit a whitish tinge. Thereby cineraria resembles marmorata Moore (141 f) from 
Singapore and Tenasserim, and the light colouring contrasting with the race from South Borneo is a charac- 
palawana. teristic of all the butterflies of the northernmost parts of Borneo. Sandakan. — palawana Fruhst. is a name 
to replace distanti Styr. (in 1890), because there already exists a L. distanti Semp. (May 1889). The black marginal 
area of the forewings more extensive than in stenosa and hilaeira, whereby the whitish discal spot being surrounded 
jaustina. by violet is very much confined. Island of Palawan, found in January by Doherty. — faustina Fruhst. inhabits
