are no gold spots left in the broad marginal area. A geographically variable species, whose habitat extends from 
Celebes and Sumbawa eastwards. It does not occur on Lombok, whilst on the neighbouring island of Sumbawa 
it is rather abundant. — haliphron Bdv. (9 a). Breast red, the last ventral segments narrowly edged with grey- 
yellow, in the $ a grey-yellow patch at the lateral margins of the posterior segments. <$: gold spot of the cell 
of the hindwing small or absent. $: the stripes at the submedian of the forewing above indistinct, the posterior 
stripe of the penultimate pair not reaching the cell, the cell proximally surrounded with white almost to the point 
of origin of the 2. median. South Celebes. So far no haliphron-iorm is known from North Celebes; also no rela¬ 
tive is known from the Sula Islands. Dr. Martin bred a gynandromorphic specimen of haliphron whose left side 
is female and the right male. This is now in the Museum at Tring. — pallens Oberth. (= bauermanni Bob.). Vein- 
stripes in $ and $ more strongly developed than in haliphron, the cell-spot of the hindwing larger, in the $ more¬ 
over the body and wings paler. Saleyer, common; Ivabia. The name bauermanni Bob. is founded on specimens 
from the island of Ivabia; there appear to be no tenable differences. — pistor Bothsch., from Ivalao and Djampea. 
The not constantly different from pallens; the cell of the forewing beneath is mostly less extended white and 
the yellow scaling of the under surface of the abdomen is usually even more sparse. The $ has less white in the 
cell of the forewing; the cell-spot of the hindwing occupies less than half the cell, the black discal spots are shorter 
than in pallens; on the underside the middle of the hindwing is more distinctly yellow, sometimes almost as 
yellow as above, and the yellowish grey area extended beyond the cell is smaller than in pallens. — naias Doh. 
inhabits Sumba, Sumbawa, Flores, Larentuka, Adonara, Lomblen and Alor. $: the white vein-stripes are 
well expressed also above; the first gold spot of the hindwing large and at least as long as the second spot, the 
cell-spot lies along the front margin of the cell and is often so much widened that it occupies at least half the cell; 
round the cell 4 or 5 gold patches, beneath sometimes also a sixth more or less distinct; the white edging of the 
cell of the forewing beneath mostly extended to the point of origin of the 2. median; this edging in the $ still 
more prolonged towards the base, also above more extended than in the preceding subspecies. The $ also dis¬ 
tinguished by the presence of 7 gold spots around the cell, the 1. spot small, very rarely wanting (in one of our 
two Larentuka $$), the last more or less grey, the cell-spot mostly occupying two-thirds of the cell. The yellow 
scaling of the abdomen in both sexes more extended than in the preceding forms. The percentage of which 
have a large cell-spot on the hindwing is larger on Sumba than on the other islands, also the Sumba specimens 
have more commonly a 5. discal gold spot. The designation ^-ab. sambavana Doh. may be applied to the 
in which this spot is present. The butterfly is common on Sumba at the coast and in the interior, also it appears 
to occur abundantly on the other islands. — socrates Stgr. (12 a, b). Breast and collar entirely black or with 
very few red hairs; abdomen less extended yellow than in naias. The $ without gold spot before the subcostal 
on the hindwing and with quite narrow yellow streak behind the lower median, the black discal spots broadly 
united with the marginal band and all or almost all touching one another. Wetter. — iris Bob. (12 c). : vein- 
stripes of the forewing above weak, beneath the stripes placed at the 2. median remote from the cell, the cell 
itself without distinct white edging; hindwing with small cell-spot, which is often absent, as well as 4 discal 
spots, often a still smaller spot is present before the subcostal and a streak behind the 2. median; pronotum and 
breast without red hairs. pale brown, collar and breast very rarely red, the vein-streaks dirty white, those 
placed at the 2. median above and beneath remote from the cell; the gold area of the hindwing small, consisting 
of a small cell-spot and 4 discal spots, commonly another small spot before the 1. radial and yet another behind 
the 2. median; in the broad marginal area no gold spots or only slight traces of them. Letti and Moa, common. — 
ariadne Bothsch. (J:-collar and breast red, the margins of the posterior abdominal segments beneath narrowly 
but distinctly yellow; vein-stripes of the forewing beneath purer white. $ likewise with red collar and red sides 
to the breast; the cell-spot of the hindwing and also the spots placed before the 1. radial and behind the 2. median 
larger than in iris. Boma. — staudingeri Bob. $: forewing similar to that of iris, beneath with purer white 
stripes; hindwing almost as in naias, but always with 6 gold discal spots round the cell and the cell-spot more 
transversely truncate; the harpe similar to that of iris, almost symmetrical, whilst in the other haliphron-ioxms, 
it is almost hook-shaped. £ with broader vein-streaks on the forewing than in iris; on the hindwing in addition 
to the cell-spot 6 gold spots, of which the first and last are much larger than in iris and ariadne ; the median 
veins at least beneath accompanied by yellow-grey stripes, similar stripes or small submarginal spots also often 
on the radials. Collar and breast in and $ red. Loeang, Dammer and Babber. — ikarus Fruhst. (12 a, b). 
The cf not different from staudingeri, the vein-stripes of the forewing beneath and also the edging of the cell, howe¬ 
ver, are longer and broader in some specimens. This grey-white scaling in the $ apparently always more extended 
than in staudingeri. Selaru, Timor Laut Islands. — Larva of haliphron brown, the tubercles pale red, the lateral 
band dark whitish yellow. Pupa yellow-green. 
P. plato Wall. (11 a, b). Distal margin of both wings more strongly scalloped than in haliphron; collar 
red, breast black. V: forewing from the base to the point of origin of the 1. median black, then somewhat 
lighter; hindwing with large cell-spot and 6 large discal spots, the latter usually more or less emarginate distally, 
the cell-spot obliquely truncate in the prolongation of the 2. median; beneath the vein-stripes of the forewing 
very broad and somewhat effaced, the two stripes placed at the 2. median remote from the cell. $ in two forms,
