PLASTINGIA. By Dr. A. Seitz. 
somewhat larger, the hyaline spots in the cells 6 and 7 of the forewing longer, an ohlong hyaline spot in the 
cell 8 and a small irregular yellow spot in the cell 5, near the distal lower angle of the spot in the cell 6. 
patmapcma . — pafmapana Fruhst. (174 b), from Java, is somewhat smaller with a duller colouring, the wedges above 
more brownish-red than orange-yellow, with smaller hyaline spots, the under surface more greenish-yellow than 
honey-coloured. — corissa has nothing in common with viburnia (174 d) with which it was confounded; it is 
rather rare. 
vermiculn- P. vermiculata Hew. (174 b) is recognisable by the broad yellow margin of the anal portion of the 
ia - hindwing narrowing down towards the apex which it does not reach. Beneath in the hindwing there are a 
few large bluish-white patches which also occur in callineura etc. though they are smaller there. Discovered 
by Dr. Martin in the Battak Mts. (Sumatra). 
callineura. P. callineura Fldr. (174 b). The typical form comes from West Java; its yellow central spots are hyaline 
latoia. straw-coloured and only their basal ones waim into orange-yellow. — latoia Hew. (174 e), from Malacca, is 
quite similar, but only on the forewing the distal discal spots are hyaline yellow, the small median band in 
flavia. the hindwing is intensely ochreous. — flavia Stgr. (174 b, c), from Palawan, is smaller and all the spots 
fruhstorferi. above are tinted orange. — fruhsforferi Mab. (174 c), from East Java, is of a very bright orange, only in the 
apical half of the forewing the yellow spots are still intensely hyaline; the orange colour in the hindwing is 
aurantiaca. broader. — In aurantiaca Elw. <£■ Edw. (174 c) the orange colour has increased so much on both wings that 
nicisana. there only remain black margins. — In niasana Fruhst., from Nias, the colouring is again more like that of 
the type; the yellowish transcellular hyaline spots of the forewing are almost twice the size of those in the 
Javanese callineura, the light yellow spot near the base extends across the submedian up to the cell-wall. 
Hindwing with a median part more like that of fruhstorferi from East Java, being posteriorly less deeply in¬ 
dented, yellow, with club-shaped markings. Under surface of hindwing, by the narrow dark yellow median 
band, recalling that of fruhstorferi from Java, but not light yellow, but tinted reddish-brown like West Java- 
marghcrita. nese callineura. — margherita Doh., from Assam, is quite similar to latoia from Singapore, but the cellular spots 
of the forewing are distantly separated, whereas in margerita they are confluent, so that another transition 
is formed to the following species; Edwards, however, has discovered morphological differences, for which 
reason it is treated as a separate species. 
Tielena. P. helena Btlr. (174 c) represents callineura in Sumatra and in parts of Borneo. Here the hyaline paler- 
yellow tint in the basal portions of all the wings extends from the costal margin to the hind-margin. Beneath 
the colouring is reddish-yellow, the hindwing shows 6 black, white-centred dots, the costal margin and hind- 
natuna. margin with a brown stripe. — natuna Fruhst. forms a transition to the form niasana of the preceding species 
with which helena is thereby combined; hindwing beneath still lighter yellow than in typical helena ; Natuna Is. 
P. flavescens Fldr. Frtjhstorfer separates from this species occurring in Celebes and being disting¬ 
uished by sexual dimorphism (forewing of <§ orange with a black distal margin, of $ black with yellow spots) 
samanga. three different races: samanga Fruhst. . Similar to aurantiaca from the Kina Balu. Forewing with a similar, 
but light yellow instead of reddish-yellow colour. Hindwing yellowish, with a relatively broad black costal 
margin and a uniformly broad black distal margin which is posteriorly somewhat parted. Hind-margin likewise 
narrowly hued with black. Under surface throughout light ochreous with a narrow, though distinctly defined 
black antemarginal line, some submarginal long transverse streaks of the fore wing, and single likewise black 
small discal dots of the hindwing. In the $ the forewing is quite black except a yellow longitudinal spot behind 
the submedian, 3 spots around the cell-end and one or two likewise yellowish hyaline subapical maculae. Hind¬ 
wing predominantly dark with a square yellow median area and a yellowish hue of the submedian. Forewing 
beneath black as above. Hindwing with a yellowish ground-colour and a discal corona of small black spots. 
atala. South Celebes, Samanga, November. — • atala Fruhst. $. Upper surface with larger yellow spots of the forewing. 
Hindwing with decreased black and predominant yellow colouring. Under surface: forewing with a much 
broader yellow apical portion. Abdomen as in the preceding species with black and yellow rings. Central 
flavescens. Celebes, Dongala, August and September. — flavescens Fldr. (174 c, d), from North Celebes (Toli-Toli) replaces 
corissa Heiv. in Celebes. 
viburnia. P. viburnia Stgr. (174 d). Above very similar to fruhstorferi (174 c), but the small upper spot in the cell 
of the forewing is confluent with the lower spot which despatches an extremely thin orange stripe along the 
lower cell-wall, though still within it, to the base of the forewing. Quite different, however, is the under sur¬ 
face being monotonously golden yellow with black-marked veins. In the $ only the orange above is paler. 
Before me only from Mindoro (Coll. Semper). 
libumia. P. liburnia Hew. (174 d) is above rather similar to flavia (174 c), but the central hyaline spot in the 
forewing is more compact, and on the hindwing the orange-yellow small central band does not extend to the 
base of the wing. Under surface very characteristic, all the yellow spots separated from each other by thick 
black veins. Philippines.
