A. nigritus Semp. apparently replaces A. portunus in the Philippines, but it is at once distinguishable 
from A. pyxus and A. strigatus by the absence of the androconium of the forewing. The under surface is charac¬ 
terized by a black dot in the middle of the costal margin of the forewing. On the other hand the black 
anteterminal dots on both wings being so characteristic of A. portunus are absent. Very rare, so far only 2 A A 
known from East Mindanao (June to August) and 1 $ from South East Mindanao. 
A. anaxandridas spec. nov. is inserted in Sempers collection in but one $ from Sibulan (Mindanao) 
under the denomination of A. punctatus Semp. and described as a peculiar $-form of A. punctatus in the Philippine 
work on page 165. From punctatus belonging to the fabius- group, the $ of anaxandridas is at once discernible 
by the roundish wings. Ground-colour white with a brown border on the upper surface. Under surface also 
white, delicately speckled with brown, with black subterminal dots, like in portunus, which are distally again 
bordered with white. 
A. caesemius spec. nov. was reservedly taken to be also the $ of A. punctatus by Semper. It differs 
from the $ of A. anaxandridas by its more dentate hind wings the upper surface of which, however, is tinted 
brown. The forewings are more extensively bordered with brown. Under surface more delicately marbled 
with brown, the submarginal band less distinct, and the black anteterminal dots are much smaller. Sibulan 
(Mindanao). 
A. fabius is the most multiform species of a highly specialized though little group distinguished by 
the involved dimorphism of the sexes and the projecting posterior median of the hindwing. The AS resemble 
the AS of A. portunus, being of a somewhat larger shape and at the apex of the forewing as if covered with 
brown clouds. The $ has an anal tooth of the hindwing projecting like a tail and may, according to the habitat, 
be above unicolorously brown or exhibit a partly white distal area. Under surface of the $$ preponderate^ 
white with brown shades and prominent black anteterminal dots. Clasping-organs very similar to those of 
A. portunus, knife-shaped, the tip of the uncus more pressed together, the small ventral hooks somewhat 
longer. Valve,broader, shorter, with a sharply cut out tip, but otherwise without any decoration, fabius 
inhabits Macromalayana except Java. One race goes to the north as far as Burma. The imagines inhabit 
higher districts. -— panormis Ehv. Upper surface brown, 5 beneath white with distinct series of thick, brown 
postdiscal spots. The A which is figured by Swinhoe (in Lep.Ind. t. 616 fig. 3 and 3 b) is the A °f A. posidion 
atacimos Fruhst. from Burma, panormis occurs in the Koren and Naga Hills. ■— fabius Dist. is described from 
Sandakan, North Borneo. Before me there is a $ from the plains of North Borneo, easily distinguishable from 
the Kina-Balu race of the collective species by its small size and scarce brown spotting beneath. — caudatus 
Sm., an excellent race with a broad, purely white anal area of the upper surface of the hindwings. Under surface 
of both wings in both sexes with extensive red-brown patches. Kina Balu. — pamisus Fruhst. $ recognizable 
by the much narrower white anal area of the upper surface of the hindwing. On the under surface the new 
form exhibits the most extensive and, at the same time, lightest brown submarginal spot of the forewing. Also 
otherwise the under surface is not only much lighter, bat also more delicately speckled with light-brown. In 
contrast with caudatus and similarly to arrius Fruhst. from Sumatra, pamisus exhibits a light-brown terminal 
band of the hindwing extending as far as the submedian, whereas this band terminates in caudatus already 
in the middle of the wing. South East Borneo. A $ from the Coll. v. Schonberg is now in the Coll. Frtths- 
torfer. -—• arrius Fruhst. (141 i) Sumatra: Battak Mountains. The $ differs from that of panormis Elw., as 
it is figured by Swinhoe (Lep. Indica Vol. VII, t. 166 fig. 3 a and 3 c), by the more extensive brown tint of 
the anterior part of both wings and the less prominent submarginal macular band. According to Martin, it 
occurs all the year round, so that the generations probably succeed one another very quickly. 
A. borneensis Moult, was hitherto found only in Sarawak, but it is in my collection also from South 
East Borneo. A a little more imposing than the AS of A. fabius and with a more extensive sexual spot. $ 
above, like that of panormis and arrius, unicolorously brown. Under surface of the AS analogous to the AS 
of A. portunus, but with more prominent black anteterminal dots. $ peculiarly pale yellowish-brown with a 
delicate red-brown marbling. 
A. punctatus Semp. (142 b), a magnificent species which replaces A. fabius in the Philippines. $ 
with tails, though not so prominent as in A. fabius from Macromalayana. A and $ above unicolorously brown, 
$ with a somewhat fainter cliscal spot of the forewing. Under surface with the anteterminal series of black 
dots being so characteristic of A. nigritus and A. fabius. Then the costal dot of the hindwing, reminding us 
of A. nigritus. In the $ the brown markings beneath are very narrow, so that the whitish ground-colour is 
everywhere predominantly exhibited. East Mindanao to the south of the eighth degree of latitude. Flying 
from July to December. Beside unicolorously brown $$ there exist also such with a light yellow anal border 
of the upper surface of the hindwings. — eretria form. nov. The under surface in these $$ is light ochreous, 
covered with thick brown maculae and black marginal dots. Mindanao, type in the Coll. Staiidinger. 
A. martinus Fruhst. (141 h). Another tailed species of the subregion of Celebes, the discovery of 
which is due to Dr. L. Martin. contours of the forewings something like in A. fabius Dist. and A.
