likewise different from that of Jiecabe, lives on another food-plant, Wagatea spicata, and is of a green 
colour with strikingly large black head and an indistinct yellow lateral stripe. The pupae lie closely 
ranged together upon twigs, are darker than those of hecabe and almost entirely black, blanda is almost 
as widely distributed as hecabe, appearing only to be wanting at the eastern and northern limits of the 
latter’s range. — arsakia subsp. nov. is the most northern offshoot as yet discovered. Both sexes very arsakia. 
large; distal border of the hindwing of the JcJ comparatively narrow; £ pale green-yellow with broad 
distal margin, deeply and uniformly dentate proximally. The dry-season form aphaia form. nov. is smaller aphaia, 
than the wet form, particularly in the <$; $ almost without black bordering on the hindwing above and 
without the dense black powdering of arsakia. Distal margin of the forewing in the almost rectilinear; 
the under surface sprinkled with reddish, arsakia is not rare on Formosa in July and August, aphaia in 
March and April. — acandra subsp. nov. is the form from Hong-Kong, of which I have before me only the acandra. 
dry-season form taken at the end of October, which shows a darker yellow colouring and even narrower 
margins on the forewing than aphaia. — The Philippines produce a series of island races, of which viselfia visellia. 
subsp. nov. is the Luzon form, pale yellow, with the hindwing somewhat more broadly margined than 
acandra, — mensia subsp. nov. that of the central Philippines, of darker colour and with broadened bands; mensia. 
Samar, Leyte, Bohol. — vallivolans Btlr. is founded on the dark yellow, broadly black-margined dry- vallivolans. 
season form from Mindanao, of which simulatrix Stgr. constitutes a very large rainy-season form, broadly simulatrix. 
shaded with black. —- natuna subsp. nov. is a race with almost uniform and only moderately broad distal natuna. 
margin and a quite light $, recalling that of harina in its colouring. — siihetana Wall. (73 c) was described silhetana. 
from specimens of the dry season; Butler named the rainy-season form, with somewhat broader black 
margins, especially on the hindwing, heliophila; Assam, Sikkim. — dayidsoni Moore (73 c, 2, erroneously 
named silhetana ) is the race from South India, which most closely approaches certain hecabe in the 
striking extension of the marginal colouring. Examples from Tenasserim and Tonkin to Siam and Annam 
differ somewhat from South Indian specimens in the narrower markings on the wings. — citrinaria Moore, citrinaria. 
based on specimens of the dry season, designates the small, very similarly marked Ceylon race, of which tcmpletoni. 
the names templetoni Btlr., uniformis and rotundalis Moore refer to examples of the rainy season. — uniformis. 
snelleni Moore ( nom. nud.) is here adopted for a stately, broad-margined race from Sumatra, Perak and 
probably also Borneo. — blanda Bdv., whose name-type came from Java, has the markings almost blanda. 
identical in both seasonal forms, narrow and almost rectilinear. $9 are rare; one from Bawean has the 
distal marginal dusting on the upperside of the hindwing extended. Java, Engano, Bah. •— sanapati sanapati. 
subsp. nov. is smaller, darker yellow, the black colour on the forewing almost confined to the apical part. 
Sumbawa, Lombok, Alor, Sumba (?). — roepstorffi Moore, based on specimens of the dry season, differs roepstorffi. 
from the Ceylon race in its larger size; and cadelH Moore is an extreme dry-season form without black cadelli. 
distal margin on the hindwing above. Andamans, Nicobars; the <$$ of both were originally described only 
from the Andamans and the $$ only from the Nicobars. Should the Nicobar race differ it must be 
named anew. — cantideva subsp. nov. is a very small race of a dark yellow colour with much broadened cantideva. 
and very deeply excised distal margin to the forewing. Wetter. —- With cungata subsp. nov. begins a cungcita. 
series of forms which again approximate to the Philippine type vallivolans Btlr. in their specially elongated 
wing-contour. The marginal band is narrow and very regular; $ differing but little from the $, basallv 
only lightly dusted over with black. Amboina. — indecisa Btlr. is the deeper yellow, somewhat more indecisa. 
broadly margined race from the Northern Moluccas: Halmaheira, Ternate, Mangoli; Waigeu, New Guinea. 
— From Celebes no representative of blanda is yet known, but one may be confidently looked for, as 
also from Palawan. 
T. moorei Btlr. is an interesting island form belonging to the blanda-group. Following the example moorei. 
of Bingham, it is here treated as a species; it is, however, not impossible that it is only a modified 
rainy-season form of blanda, so much the more as a dry-season form of it has not yet been found. In 
any case it occurs together with the above-named roepstorffi and cadelli on the Nicobars, is of medium 
size, dark sulphur-yellow with moderately broad, proximally finely dentate distal margin to the forewing. 
The hindwing bears only a narrow distal band. — atnplexa Btlr. is only a local form of the same with the amplexa. 
marginal band somewhat narrowed on the forewing and widened on the hindwing. Christmas Island. 
With T. andersoni Moore begins a series of species which only show a black ring-spot on the under- andersoni. 
side of the cell of the forewing, andersoni has the wings shaped like those of blanda, but is at once 
recognised by the much broader, deep black distal margin of both wings, which is proximally especially 
sharply dentate, and by its peculiar dark green-yellow coloration. Beneath it approaches tihala Horsf., 
from Java, in the strongly expressed black dots and a row of submarginal spots united into bands. The 
species is everywhere very rare; the name-type comes from the Mergui Archipelago. Bingham knows 
it from Tenasserim and the Andamans and there is a $ from Assam in his collection. — godana subsp. godana, 
nov. is the most northerly branch known; larger than the type, more narrowly margined with black, 
somewhat paler yellow. $ but a little paler than the with delicate brown tinge on the hind wing 
beneath, especially in the dry-season form of April with sharply defined black marginal dots on the fore¬ 
wing. Rainy-season form taken in July, near Taihanrohu, Formosa. — udana subsp. nov. is the most udana.
