subsp. 710V. is a race with the underside of the hindwing finely striped with grey also in the rainy-season- 
form and with finely interrupted, very light apex to the forewing beneath; Formosa. — lichenosa Moore (63 a), 
from the Andamans, has the under surface to the hindwing almost entirely greenish, slightly marked with white. — 
sumatrana Hcig. (63 a), with predominantly yellowish under surface, only narrowly striped, and conspicuous by 
reason of its size. Sumatra. — The Javan race, corva Wall. (64 c), as is often the case, aproaches the conti¬ 
nental Indian phryne much more nearly than its Sumatran sister race. — In East Java occurs a dry-season-form 
with few markings, corvina form. nov. (64 c), which has the hindwing light yellow also beneath, without distinct 
stripes along the veins and with an isolated black spot between the anterior median veins. — The larva was already 
known to Horsfield in 1828, it is green with fine dorsal transverse lines. Pupa green with long lateral thoracic 
points, striped with white. — dissimilis Rothsch. is a race very nearly allied to corvina, with pale yellow under 
surface to both wings. Bali.— vaso Doh. (64 b), the opposite of the preceding, is strongly darkened above 
also, cell of the hindwing beneath in the and the central areas broadly white. Sumbawa. — physkon subsp. 7iov. 
is much smaller than the preceding, with still darker stripes, the hindwing with the cell entirely green-brown 
or only narrowly striped with white. All the submarginal spots smaller, duller white. A^ery common on Lombok 
from the sea-shore up to the flower-covered plateau of Sambalun (4000 ft.). I met with the exclusively on 
wet sand, the $$ only at flowers, on which they hang with folded wings, drinking greedily. 
H. pactolicus Btlr. (64 c) replaces 7ierissa on Borneo, where the species occurs exclusively in alluvial 
land, but is very local and only found commonly in the south-east of the island, whilst I only obtained one $ 
from the north. $ still unknown. Forewing beneath as above, hindwing with the exception of the submarginal 
region beautifully light yellow, becoming darker towards the base. The white oblong submarginal spots separ¬ 
ated from the yellowish area by a black band. 
H. eperia Bdv. (64 d) has a white under surface to the hindwing, with the basal areas yellowish. A broad 
black submarginal band encloses moderately long, partly rounded, white spots. $ very rare, above and beneath 
somewhat darker. North and South Celebes, on wet sandbanks.— fora Fruhst. (64 d) is a smaller mountain 
form, in which the submarginal band of the hindwing is already marked above. Under surface slightly tinged 
with light yellow. Type taken at 4000 ft. at the peak of Bonthain, also from East Celebes in my collection. 
H. eurygonia Hpff., from the Toga Islands in Tomini Bay, in North-East Celebes, appears to be a transi¬ 
tional species from the pitys to the phryne group. Upper surface white, forewing with 7 triangular white spots 
in the reticulate black distal margin, hindwing with 3—4 similar patches. Under surface of both wings white, 
with sulphur-yellow base. Black distal margin of both wings with larger white spots than above; veins lightly 
marked with black. 
H. celebensis Rothsch. (64 d). Forewing at the end of the cell without the black tooth which extends 
to the distal margin. Under surface as in eperia, but with long, radiate white submarginal streaks. The black 
border of the hindwing distally broken up into black dusting. $ as in eperia, but with the submarginal stripes 
of the hindwing longer. South Celebes; also taken by me in December at Toli-Toli in the north of the island 
and always found in company with eperia. 
H. nadina occurs nearly always in company with 7ierissa, but is less widely distributed and is wanting 
on Java and the small Sunda Islands. The rainy-season-form as in 7ierissa larger, above more broadly black, 
that of the dry season beneath grey instead of greenish yellow. Larva and pupa on Capparis, scarcely distinguish¬ 
able from those of nerissa. — nadina Luc. (63 b) is founded on the rainy-season-form; nama Moore designates 
somewhat lighter specimens of the intermediate form, less broadly margined with black in the female; and amba 
Moore (64 a) is the name for the extreme dry-seasonal form, whose $$ are above almost as light as the and 
beneath grey or yellowish sand-colour. Between the extremes there are transitions of various grades. Sikkim to 
Tonkin and Hainan, Burma, Siam, Annam. — remba Moore differs in the black distal margin of the forewing exten¬ 
ding to the cell and in having the upper surface of the hindwing distally dusted with blue-grey. Apex of the fore¬ 
wing and the upper surface of the hindwing greenish yellow with smoke-brown spots. $ beneath as the and 
above with a more obliquely placed, somewhat narrower, white central area on the forewing than cmgala. The 
dry-season-form liquida Swinh. is beneath lighter grey-green and both wings correspondingly more narrowly 
margined with black, remba is a forest butterfly, and occurs all the year round. — cingala Moore (63 b) has a 
regular dark apical border on the forewing and beneath darker green ground-colour, which, however, is covered 
with light brown spots; $ with whitish instead of greenish yellow basal spot on the upperside of the hindwing. 
At 2—4000 ft., a quick flier and difficult to catch, rather rare; Ceylon. — andamana Swinh. approaches the 
rainy-season-form of nadina, but has a less broad black distal margin to the forewing. The $ above predominantly 
white, but more distinctly spotted with black than amba-^Q, the under surface of the hindwing somewhat darker 
green with more conspicuous postdiscal bands. Andamans. — fawcetti Btlr. is a more specialised island race 
with sharply defined, deep black distal margin on the upper surface of the hindwing also. Under surface deep 
moss-^reen with dense black dusting. The very rare $ on the upperside of the hindwing partly scaled with blue, 
partly with yellow-green, the black margin on the forewing extending to the cell. Sumatra, from 2—5000 ft, —
