Mangoli.— filiola Frulist. is still smaller, beneath only darker, with strongly restricted white areas. Hindwing filiola. 
with green-yellow basal tinge and submarginal spots of the same colour. Sula Besi. ■— aurulenta Fruhst. closely aurulenta. 
approximates to sorror above, but differs from it and other island forms by the intensively orange-coloured tinge 
of the hindwing beneath and from timnatha by the reduced submarginal spots of both wings. Bangkai. 
With H. temena begins a series of species which exclusively inhabit Micromalayana; they are above 
without exception white in the and have a moderately broad black distal margin, but beneath rival the most 
magnificent Delias by their brilliant combination of black, red and yellow, either laid on in sharp contrast or 
delicately merged into one another. Four subspecies are known, which all inhabit the hot coast-districts, thickly 
overgrown with thorns, of their isolated native islands and in my experience never ascend even to 300 m. - 
H. tamar Wall. (55 e) has above the broadest black distal margin to the forewing, is beneath a beautiful yellow tamar. 
and spotted with black; very rare, described from Bali, but has also been observed in single migratory specimens 
in eastern Java. — temena Hew. (63 d), from Lombok, has a much lighter basal area above, more broadly striped temena. 
with white on the forewing and more extended yellow on the hindwing, than lenitas subsp. nov. (63 d), from lenitas. 
Sumbawa, in whose $$ beneath the forewing is traversed by broader black transverse stripes and the hindwing 
tinged with much darker red-orange-colour and traversed by a stronger black submarginal band, produced basad 
into a longer point. The $ is almost entirely black on the forewing, the veins of the hindwing more broadly black, 
but the cell of the forewing in the much lighter than in temena. — hyele subsp. nov., from the island of Lomblen, hyele. 
represents the albinistic extreme of the temena- series; hindwing of the $ above light yellow, <$ on the underside 
without a trace of black colour on the veins, in the light orange-yellow basal area of the hindwing with very reduced 
black proximal bordering to the red submarginal spots, which as in the $ are more extended. — On Lombok 
I found temena exclusively at somewhat overshadowed, marshy pools, befouled by grazing cattle or horses, where 
the ££ rest with the wings folded, displaying to the onlooker the gorgeous under surface, and drink greedily. 
They are, however, very shy, difficult to catch and very lively in the net. The $$ are met with in company 
with those of Ixias reinwardti in the thickest thorny Euphorbia-bushes, in which, when frightened, they 
disappear near to the ground. 
H. julia Oberth. (65 c) is beneath a faithful copy of Delias fasciata Rothsch. from Sumba; beneath julia. 
similar to that of temena, but with narrower black transverse bands and lighter yellow subapical spots. Hind¬ 
wing as in temena, but with light yellow basal area, which contrasts vividly with the broad fiery red costal margin 
and the red submarginal patches with their thin black bordering. $ beneath as the $, but with whitish streaks 
along the veins. Sumba, discovered by Doherty. — calliparga subsp. nov. is larger, $ above on the forewing calliparga. 
predominantly black with narrow, white subapical patches. $ beneath with feebly indicated black submarginal 
band, the whole of the apical area tinged with light yellow; $ beneath likewise with more extended yellow apical 
tinge and darker hindwing, less shaded with white. Sumbawa. 
H. laeta Hew. (65 c), described from Timor, but apparently also not very rare on the island of Wetter, laeta. 
$ beneath as the <$, but with lighter yellow apical spots on the forewing and light yellow under surface to the 
hindwing, on which the scarlet marginal spots are proximally bordered by a complete narrow black sub¬ 
marginal band. 
H. abnormis Wall. (63 b) has in common with euryxanthe Hour. (63 c) an isolated light red spot in the 
cell of the forewing. Both inhabit Dutch and German New Guinea. — ornythion Godm. & Salv. is an allied 
form from British New Guinea with broader, more obliquely placed, almost triangular apical spot on the fore¬ 
wing, which in the $ extends to the cell. Hindwing of the $ dusted over with blue-grey above. 
abnormis. 
euryxanthe. 
ornythion. 
H. ladas Gr.-Sm. (63 b) has beneath yellow instead of red spots; the red longitudinal spot of the fore- ladas. 
wing is absent, on the other hand the base of the hindwing has a distally pointed yellow triangular patch, ladas 
inhabits elevated localities, and it is the only Pierid which occurs in the midst of the gloomy primeval forest 
on Mt. Gelu in German New Guinea at about 1500 m even during the height of the rainy season and settles on 
the sandy banks of the water-courses. 
H. persephone Stgr. (= odyssia Fruhst. i. 1.) (63 d) was formerly only known in one defective male persephone. 
specimen and described as Delias. I have UU and $$ from Waigeu. above like ornythion, $ the same but 
with still broader black distal margin to both wings. Beneath both sexes are alike except that in the $ the 
yellowish apical spot on the forewing of the is absent. 
H. dohertyi Oberth. is an allied but distinct species. above only with a very narrow black apical margin, dohertyi 
otherwise pure white. Under surface of the forewing likewise white with black apex and a more extended yellow 
subapical spot. Hindwing as in persephone, only somewhat lighter and sprinkled with some grey scales before 
the distal margin. Ansus on the island of Jobi.
