1050 HASORA. By Dr. A. Seitz. 
olive-brown, the forewing with but one small hyaline-white central spot; beneath the forewing shows a broad 
metallic bluish-green band. 
malayana. H. malayana Fldr. (166 c) is mostly recognisable by the bright metallic green under surface, but 
nevertheless connected with the preceding species by all kinds of transitions. Typical malayana occur almost 
in the whole of the Malay Archipelago and extend from Java and Indo-China to the east as far as the Philippines, 
attenuata. from where we have figured a specimen. — attenuata Stgr. (= meala Swh.) (166 c) exhibits in the S instead 
bhawara. of the white band beneath only a fine line; Celebes, Java, Siam. — bhawara Fruhst., from Assam, on the contrary 
azakra. exhibits the white band beneath twice as broad as in typical malayana. — azakra Fruhst. are specimens from 
Sula-Besi: ,,Band of hindwing twice as broad as in attenuata-<$ , but narrower than in the <$<$ from Obi.“ - 
prahmida. prahmida Fruhst., from Obi, Ceram, Amboina, Timor-Laut, and Key, is in the male very closely allied to 
the Philippinic specimens, though somewhat smaller, but with the most intensely developed green reflection. 
The band of the hindwing is prominent, only somewhat narrower than in Palawan, but broader than in attenuata 
dipama. and azakra. — dipama Fruhst., from Waigeu. Here the green reflection, which in other forms mostly only extends 
padma. to the. white band, reaches beyond this almost obsolete band nearly to the margin of the wing. —• padma, from 
Palawan, resembles beneath proximata (166 d) likewise occurring there, but it is separated from it by the scent- 
galaca. spot which is absent in proximata. — galaca Fruhst. is the largest form of malayana-, hindwing beneath in 
salanga. the proximal half dark green, the median band is considerably narrower than in padma. — salanga Plotz are 
aberrative specimens in which the white median line of the hindwing beneath is dissolved except its lower small 
terminal spot; from Malacca. — The larva of malayana probably does not differ from that of alexis. 
amboinen- H. amboinensis Swh., according to the author, is a species different from alexis, but otherwise it is 
sis.apparently allied to prahmida Fruhst. Above dark olive-brown without markings, beneath the forewing shows 
a broad metallic bluish-green costal band, the hindwing a white cliscal band; described according to one couple 
from Amboina. 
butleri. H. butleri Auriv. is also very similar to the pi’eceding species. The <$$ look very much like those 
of chabrona (166 b), but they have a broad scent-spot like alexis and malayana from which, however, they differ 
in the band of the hindwing being twice as broad. 
villa. H. vitta Btlr. (166 c). Like the forms of malayana, hardly separable as species form alexis. Large, 
hindwing beneath in the A of a bright metallic green, the white band of the hindwing moderately broad, 
slightly interrupted by the black anal spot. Borneo (Butler) and Philippines (Ploetz). — 
lucescens. H. lucescens Luc. is similar to the preceding species; body and basal portion of the wings covered 
with hair of a green reflection. The lilac-grey transverse band of the hindwing beneath is moderately broad, 
bordered with dark. The velvety black spot of the anal region is large. Queensland, October till December. 
inermis. H. inermis Elw. (166c) is a large form which is surely allied to the larger Philippinic forms of 
alexis, but easily discernible by the white band of the hindwing being darkened into greyish-brown and its 
distal border being indistinct. In the disc of the forewing there are above the hind-margin dense velvety strata, 
but no real comma-shaped scent-spot as in alexis and malayana. From the Linchot Is.; the figured specimens 
were captured by A. Fritze in Okinama. They seem to be the northernmost members of the chromus-malayana 
contemta. group, whereas contemta Plotz (166 d as contempta) which is very similar to them, though the A is said to exhibit 
2 very minute spots in the forewing, is the southernmost form described from Cape York and extending to 
the south as far as Mackay. 
hurama. H. hurama Btlr. (166 d). Above thick velvety stripes cover the uni-coloured brown surface of the 
wings from below the cell-end to the centre of the hind-margin. The under surface is brown, too, without 
a metallic gloss, the median band is snow-white, thick, in the middle swollen, not pierced. No black anal 
vivapama. spot. Australia, New Guinea, Aru, and Waigeu. — vivapama Fruhst., from Saparna, Amboina, and Buru, 
is larger than the figured specimens from New Guinea, the white band of the hindwing is much narrower at 
perplexa. the costa; hindwing beneath without the metallic reflection. — In perplexa Mab., from the Northern Moluccas, 
burgeri. the white band is remarkably much narrower in front and behind. — Whether biirgeri Rbb. is the Celebic form 
hgisduvali. of hurama , I cannot decide, since the species is not before me; but boisduvali Fldr., from Amboina, is probably 
only an aberrative form distinguished by the white band on the hindwing beneath being shortened in front 
and behind; it would accordingly have to be placed to vivapama. 
ribbei. H. ribbel Plotz. owing to its 3 long though indistinct scent-stripes, belongs near the Philippinic malisca 
Fruhst., but the under surface is, similar to that of malayana, steel-blue with a greenish reflection. Above dark 
brown with grey intermixed dorsal hair. On the forewing beneath a band-marking proceeds from % of the 
costal margin to the median vein, on the hindwing beneath there is at the base of the median branches a narrow 
white marginal marking; the dark band of the forewing beneath is continued in the hindwing, but whitish, 
a par a. covered with blue. Ceram. — In apara Fruhst. the white band of the hindwing beneath is scarcely half as 
broad as in typical ribbei, only representing a thin line; the ground-colour beneath is duller, predominantly 
green. From the Isle of Obi.
