ELODINA. By H. Fruhstorfer. 
egnatia. E. egnatia Godt. (= cirrha Bdv.) is the first described species. Shape of the wings and appearance 
similar to angulipennis (62 e, angulipes on the plate). Markings as in anticyra (62 e), but with proximally 
straight brown distal margin to the forewing. Very rare, South Moluccas (Amboina, Ceram). — As an island 
bouruensis. race bouruensis Wall. (62 g) approaches it very nearly. Upper surface as under, except that the blackish 
tinge extends over the whole apical part of the wing. Buru Island. 
dispar. E. dispar Rob. is a very rare, sexually dimorphic species from Bangkai near Celebes. Both 
sexes with narrow wings; above with almost triangular apical spots, beneath white; $ with very broad, 
proximally straight distal margin on the upper surface, occupying one-third of the wing, which is repeated also 
on the under surface. 
therasia. E. therasia Fldr. A distinct species, of the size of pasarga (62 e), but with narrower wings, very 
broad but short apical spot on the forewing, which is very weakly repeated beneath, reduced to a narrow 
hand. Halmaheira. 
E. hypatia. Distributed over the whole of New Guinea and the islands off it, inclined to form local 
sada. races, of which quite a number are probably yet to be discovered. — sada subsp. nov. (62 e), with the sub- 
litana. apical spot on the underside of the hindwing scarcely indicated. Waigeu Island. — lifana subsp. nov. Cell 
of the forewing above with darker dusting, under surface of the forewing with very broad black subapical band. 
midliercula. Key Islands. — mulliercula siibsp. nov. As the preceding, but with black apical margin and narrow, but 
pasarga. continuous subapical band on the forewing. British New Guinea. — pasarga subspec. nov. (62 e). The lar¬ 
gest known white form of the genus, duller, more chalky than milky white. $ with relatively broader suba¬ 
pical band on the forewing beneath and light ochre-yellow upper surface to the hindwing. Common in the 
hypatia. woods on the coast of New Guinea, where it flies slowly, but with restless, wavering flight. — hypatia Fldr. 
is a normally smaller race with paler black markings on the under surface of the forewing and the under sur¬ 
face of the hindwing of the $$ whitish instead of yellowish. Dutch New Guinea. 
perdita. E. perdita Miskin (62 g) is perhaps also a race of hypatia. Queensland. 
andropia. E. andropia Btlr. (62 f). A parallel species to the preceding, described from British New Guinea. — 
hydatis. hydatis subsp. nov. is a rare, normally larger local form from German New Guinea, in which the $ instead of 
the black marginal band bears only five large brown submarginal patches on the upperside of the hindwing. 
E. namatia spec. nov. (62 e) possibly replaces andropia on Waigeu Island; the $, however, has no 
black markings on the milk-white hindwing and the black subapical band of the forewing beneath is scarcely half as 
broad as in hydatis. 
E. umbratica Gr.-Sm. shows beneath no sign of a subapical band on the forewing, and the black distal 
margin of the wing is more uniform. Solomons, Ulawa Island. 
E. argypheus Gr.-Sm. With very broad black bordering also to the costal margin of the forewing and 
the distal margin of the forewing proximally still straighter, also with a sharply curved costal and subapical band 
on the forewing beneath. Solomons, Guadalcanal'. 
E. signata Wall. (62 d). A distinct, small species with black forewing containing a large white discal 
patch. New Caledonia. 
E. angulipennis Luc. (62 e, where the name is erroneously spelt angulipera). The dry-seasonal form 
pallene. Hewitson named pallene (62 f); this has larger black patches on the under surface of the forewing. Queensland, 
New South Wales, Victoria. 
padusa. E. padusa Hew. (62 d). With fine black distal margin to the forewing extending into the anal angle 
and large, isolated subapical spot on the forewing beneath. Queensland. 
parthia. E. parthia Hew. (62 d). Forewing with black distal margin sharply dentate proximally. Under surface 
of the hindwing sand-coloured, tinged with grey-yellow or red-brown according to the time of year. In the 
whole of Australia. 
quadrata. E. quadrata Btlr. approaches padusa Hew., with longer wings, more quadrate apical spot, which is proxi¬ 
mally less emarginate, the black distal margin as in padusa continued into the anal angle, the cell of the forewing 
yellowish. Under surface similar to that of angulipennis, but the whole cell yellow. Hindwing with a black 
cell-dot. Sydney. 
ivalkeri. E. walkeri Btlr. is said to he allied to perdita, but without incised black distal margin to the forewing. 
Under surface of the forewing silver-white with three blackish subapical spots and the cell suffused with saffron- 
yellow as in parthia. Hindwing with black dot at the apex of the cell and 4—5 small blackish submarginal spots. 
Port Darwin, North-West Australia. 
baudiniana. E. baudiniana Btlr. Smaller than perdita, above snow-white with smoke-grey costal margin to the fore¬ 
wing, the basal part of which wing appears flesh-coloured. Distal margin shorter than in walkeri and the row of 
dots on the hindwing beneath more indistinct. Port Darwin, probably only a seasonal form of the preceding.
