total colouring and red-brown longitudinal stripes, with generally long tails, so that Moore thought it neces¬ 
sary to found a special denomination, ,,Balonea“, for this subdivision, comprising but few species. But since 
there are no structural marks in the white Dodona, Moore’s genus is suppressed here again, windu is entirely 
isolated in the scheme of its markings and differs from the group of D. henrici and D. fruhstorferi by the presence 
of seven, instead of only six, red-brown longitudinal stripes on the under surface of the forewings. upper 
surface: forewing with a broad brown border at the base, the costal and distal margins, with a brown median 
band extending into the white centre. Hindwing: distal and proximal margins likewise bordered in brown; 
beyond the cell, the wings are traversed by a thin brown stripe ending in the anal angle. At the base, an oblong 
brown diffuse spot expands, and a fine brown, indistinct stripe at the rising of the subcostal extends as far 
as in to the middle of the cell. The distal band is parted at the apex by a white streak. Anal end with two 
black lobes, the outer of which is extended as long again as the inner one and before which there lies an orange, 
black-pupilled spot. Under surface: silvery white, traversed by brown stripes. Forewing with two short, broad 
basal and 2 median bands rising at the costal, the inner and longest of which extends beyond the anterior me¬ 
dian, while the shorter one reaches the middle median. A very long subapical band geniculated before the end 
extends as far as to the submeclian. The distal band is parted in the middle by a white stripe. The rise 
of the second basal band, as well as of the two median stripes is in the costal region blackish, and the 
end of them and of all the others likewise darkened. Hindwing with a basal band, a median, submarginal, 
and terminal band being united above the orange anal spot, and with 2 long stripes in the abdominal region, 
below which there are yet 2 broken, short, black transverse bands and a black dot decorating the anal angle. 
The band is traversed by a very thin white broken line. The stripe in the cell being above blurred is beneath 
very distinct. Head and eyes brown, forehead and palpi white, antennae above black, beneath likewise, but 
at the ends of the joints with white scales, especially before the entirely black club. Thorax and body black, 
above with brown, beneath with white hairs, the anterior part of the abdomen above bluish-black, the posterior 
part yellowish-brown. The sides of the abdomen are yellow, with a row of black dots; beneath white with 
dense, black, shaggy hair-tufts along the middle. Femora white, tibiae yellowish. Expanse of wings 37 mm. I 
captured the type of the neat species on the wooded slopes of the Volcano Windu in the interior of West Java 
(Residency of Bandong) in April 1893 at an elevation of about 5000 ft.; later on I got yet 2 from sthe 
Volcano Gede. still undescribed, though Dr. Piepers at the Hague believes to be in possession of such 
a specimen. 
D. henrici is the oldest name for a magnificent group of mostly insular forms inhabiting the district 
of the Indo-Chinese and Macromalayan fauna and of which we know representatives from Hainan, the Philip¬ 
pines, North Borneo, Sumatra and Java. It is not impossible that all belong to one collective species, but 
since there is only little material at our disposal, it would be only problematic to decide about the specifical 
value of the different forms. They all have in common the pale yellowish-white ground-colour appearing in 
some forms faintly tinged in greenish. The apical part of the forewings is, according to the habitat, more or 
less extensive, jet-black, enclosing yellowish spots. Hindwing with a limited black distal zone. Above a roun¬ 
dish anal lobe a pointed small tail. Under surface silvery white with a red-brown striation. Hindwing with 
yellowish subanal spots and a black border of the anal lobes. $ always larger, with rounder wing-contours 
and only somewhat paler than the Inhabiting the mountains they probably occur nowheres at altitudes 
of less than 1000 m. — henrici Holl. described according to a ^ from the Island of Hainan. Upper surface white henrici. 
with a black submarginal band being widened towards the costal and surrounding a wedge-shaped white spot. 
Hindwing with a narrow black distal border interrupted by white spots. A similar submarginal band grows 
lighter in the anal direction and turns into a yellowish zone. Under surface with narrowed bands of a red-
