the costal margin, whilst in philotis Wall. (53 d, e), from Buru, it only extends a little beyond the base of the 
cell and only below the median is widened in the shape of distinct white stripes. The base of philotis is beneath 
lighter and purer yellow, on the other hand the red spot in the cell of the hindwing is much reduced and the 
black submarginal region is extended. 
D. duris Hew. (53 d). Hitherto only known from Ceram, where the species appears to occur in two 
seasonal forms; for I have before me U? with moderately narrow red submarginal band on the hindwing and 
broadly developed black margins and specimens with very broad and light red bands, without or with only a 
little proximal black bordering and very large dark instead of light yellow subapical and cell-spots on the underside 
of the forewing (= aleria form. nov.). 
D. funerea Bothsch. (= plateni Stgr.) is somewhat larger, has the under surface- of the forewing entirely 
white, but that of the hindwing entirely black. Batjan. —■ buruana Bothsch., the race from Buru, is unknown 
to me in nature. 
D. isse Cr. (55 a), common on the South Moluccas. The under surface is similar to that of echo Wall. (53 e), 
from Buru, but the hindwing has a yellowish area of almost double the width, extending beyond the cell, and 
the submarginal spots are twice as broad and ochre-yellow. 
D. ribbei Boh., from the Aru Islands, is a very rare species, of which sacha Gr.-Sm. is perhaps a local 
form. The white subapical spots on the underside of the forewing in ribbei are broader than in echo, the black 
submarginal band of the hindwing is narrowed, whilst the submarginal spots are strongly enlarged and assume 
a quadrate form. 
D. diva B. & J. (56 f), one of the most gaily coloured species. The upper surface is plain white, with 
broad, deep black, apical transverse area on the forewing. In the $ some yellowish dots placed on the distal 
margin of the hindwing are also noticeable. British New Guinea. — emilia B. <& J. (= Tachyris weiskei Bibbe), 
a paler local form from British New Guinea, with grey instead of black distal margin on the hindwing beneath, 
which is ornamented with larger yellow patches. 
D. enniana Oberth. (= ennia Wall, pt.; dorothea Mitis pt.) (54 a); hitherto only known from Waigeu, 
where it is not very rare. <$: the upper surface white with sharply cut off, black distal margin to the 
forewing, which bears a few white dots. $ with black, mostly isolated transverse spot at the end of the 
cell, with fairly uniform black distal margin and mostly dull white upper surface to the forewing, upperside 
of the hindwing suffused with yellow. 
D. dice Voll. is a very rare species, whose GS are not yet known. The figure (54 a) represents a 
local form of the $ from Kajumera Bay, Dutch South-West New Guinea. On the under surface the black 
distal area of the hindwing is widened, sharply defined proximally and bears, like the apical area of the 
forewing, a row of 5—-6 yellowish patches in the middle. — dorothea Mitis (55 e). The hitherto unknown 
is figured here for the first time. There exist $$ with entirely white and others with yellowish upper 
surface to the hindwing. The short black subapical band of the forewing beneath is commonly not united 
with the distal band, moreover the intensity of the yellowish subapical spots varies. Waigeu. Bather 
common. 
D. gabia Bdv. (55 c) is likewise figured here for the first time. The upper surface is pure -white with 
the black distal margin, present also beneath, on which, however, the white dots can scarcely be recognised. 
$ still unknown. The species comes from Offak on Waigeu. Quite a number of local races deserve mention. — 
dorylaea Flclr. (— hippodamia Wall. <$) (55 c), with still broader black distal margin. Aru Islands. — felsina 
subsp. nov. (55 c), from Kajumera Bay, in Dutch New Guinea. The upper surface of the $ is dull yellowish 
white, forewing with 3 large dots in the blue-black distal margin. — scribonia subsp. nov. (55 c) is adorned with 
more vivid orange-yellow tinge on the underside of the hindwing. The GS vary on the under surface, having 
in the marginal band of the hindwing between the veins sometimes whitish spots (forma albipunctata Hagen); 
sometimes orange-yellow (forma flavipunctata Hagen), sometimes no spots at all (forma impunctata Hagen). 
Not rare in German New Guinea, and flies especially in January and February. — zarate Gr.-Sm. has less orange 
yellow colour on the hindwing, but larger yellow patches on the under surface of the forewing. Milne Bay, British 
New Guinea. — bantina subsp. nov., from Iviriwina, D’Entrecasteaux Islands, differs in the smaller form and 
broader black marginal bands. — eallistrate Gr.-Sm. (55 d) is a large race from Fergusson Island, with very 
broad black spots. 
D. geraldina Gr.-Sm., a pretty species, $ with pure white upper surface to the forewing, 
bordered by a distal margin which is costally broader, and which in the $ also surrounds the hindwing. 
Under surface: forewing white, with black distal third, hindwing light yellow, in the black distal area sub¬ 
marginal rows of small yellow dots. Only known from the Saddle Mountain, German New Guinea. 
D. altivaga Frulist. (55 c, incorrectly named -gabia on the plate, under surface), a moun¬ 
tain species from West Java, hitherto only observed on Mt. Gede at 5000 ft., where it flies rapidly
