contours of the forewing of the $ are broader, rounded off, the hindwings remarkably sharply dentate. <$$ and 
$$ vary according to the locality. The forewings may be above unicolorously greyish-black or white-spotted. 
The same is the case with the hindwings of the $9- The under surface is whitish, finely dotted in blackish and 
as if sprinkled with brown spots. Semper already mentions the variability of the extent of the white dots in 
the different races in the archipelago of the Philippines. Quite as light as they are typical for Luzon, seem not 
to occur in the south east of the archipelago, according to Semper, although they still predominate in Bohol. The 
Island of Bazilan, however, already produces again a form approximating the race being the most abundantly 
painted in white, that of Borneo. The vicarious type from the Sula Islands, fallax, however, exhibits the strange 
mixture of a very dark upper surface in connection with an almost entirely white, light under surface. — fallax fallax.

blurred and dark disc of the upper surface. The under surface, however, is, on a peculiarly yellowish grey ground, 
more prominently spotted than in $$ from Bohol. Island of Panaon, type in Sempers collection. -—- eryxi- cryxima-
