wing and on the hindwing it is only distinctly noticeable near the median vein. Amboina, apparently 
everywhere rare. 
T. celebensis is a pretty species, distinguished by the almost round hindwing and by the black 
margining in the occupying almost the whole distal half and in the $ commonly entirely suppressing the 
yellow on the upper surface. Rather rare and apparently inhabiting only the plains. It is divided into four 
geographical races: exophthalma subsp. nov. (73 f). Forewing also beneath with a submarginal row of 
strong black dots. Sula-Mangoli. — poetelia subsp. nov. $ with yellowish disc on both w r ings, which, 
however, is densely powdered over with black-brown. Sula Besi. — celebensis Wall., from North Celebes. 
The black distal margin of the $$ extends nearly to the apex of the cell on the forewing. $ entirely 
black-brown. Toli-Toli, November and December, rare. -— toalarum subsp. nov. The distal margining is 
far from the apex of the cell on the forewing and extends on the hindwing to the cell-wall. $ with large 
discal yellow patches. South Celebes, named from the primitive inhabitants of the island — the To-ala — 
who to-day still live in caves. 
T. Candida, a well defined species, inhabits exclusively the Papuan region and the Moluccas with an 
offshoot towards Micromalayana. Boisduval mentions it also from Celebes. — libera subsp. nov. (73 d) 
is the largest known race. The $ differs from all the known forms in the light greenish yellow tinge on 
the upper surface of both wings. On 73 h puella is printed by oversight instead of libera. Northern 
Moluccas: Halmaheira, Batjan, Ternate. — dindymene subsp. nov. (73 c) may be recognised by the proxim- 
ally strongly widened black anal margin of the hindwing, which near the cell is broken up into separate 
clusters of scales, and by the more extended black basal dusting on the forewing. Obi. -— Candida Cr. is 
the typical subspecies of the Southern Moluccas. Distal margin only a little narrower than in dindymene. 
$ white with dense -brown dusting in the basal area of both wings. Amboina, Ceram, Buru, Saparoea. — 
goramensis subsp. nov., from Goram, has much narrower black distal margins and forms a transition to 
virgo Wall. — The latter is a form with the $ entirely white. Aru Islands. — papuana Btlr., with 
somewhat broader black distal margin than virgo. Misol. - — octogesa subsp. nov. Distal border somewhat 
narrower than in libera. $ with intensively lemon-yellow tinge proximally to the black marginal band. 
Wa.igeu. - — puella Bdv. has a white distal band, much widened especially towards the costa. Dutch New 
Guinea, from Humboldt Bay and Dorey to Etna Bay and Merauke. —- diotima subsp. nov. lighter 
yellow than in the preceding, $ even purer white with appreciably narrower distal border to both wings. 
German New Guinea and Vulcan Island. In Australia and on the Fergusson Islands occurs a further sub¬ 
species of somewhat larger size. — xanthomelaena Godm. approaches dindymene in the through the anal 
margin of the hindwing extending to the cell. The $ is on the forewing densely dusted with brown- 
black to about the middle of the cell, on the hindwing in the entire distal half. Bismarck Archipelago. — 
digentia sub.sp. nov. differs from specimens from New Mecklenburg and New Pomerania in the much 
broader black distal margin of both wings (which forms a transition to salomonis ) and the slighter black 
tinge on the hindwing and the lighter §§. — salomonis Bilr. has relatively narrower black distal margin 
to both wings than the preceding. Length of the forewing 22—27 mm. Fauro and Alu Islands. — 
woodfordi Btlr. is said to have a yellowish instead of white $ and to recall Candida Cr. in the shape of 
the distal margin. Length of the forewing 17—25 mm. Guadalcanal-, Maleita and Florida; Shortlands. — 
Finally, micromalayana subsp. nov. is a very broadly black-margined race from the small Sunda Islands, 
of almost the same size as libera from the Northern Moluccas, which Boisduval already knew from 
Timor and which is represented in my collection from Flores. A representative of Candida also occurs in 
Celebes according to Boisduval and Ribbe, but the species has not been recently found there. — Accord¬ 
ing to Hagen the butterflies are common in New Guinea the whole year round, but only in the woods, 
never in open fields. Weak, unsteady flight, not far from the ground. Candida differs from the other 
Terias by the longer fork formed by subcostals 3 and 4 on the forewing. 
23. Genus : C*asi<hl€“a Moore. 
Moore founded on the collective species harina the above-named genus, without giving any 
differential characters, only erecting it brevi manu on the wing-contour, which differs somewhat from that 
of other Terias. Although the neuration of the forewing presents no difference worth noticing, on the 
hindwing the elongate instead of short and broad shape of the cell is conspicuous and the subcostal arises 
far before the apex of the cell, so that a very long upper discocellular is formed, which in the rest of 
the Indian Terias is absent resp. shortened. Moreover, the cell-wall is bent distad and not proximad. 
The genus embraces only one known species. 
G. harina Horsf. (73 c) has the same habits as Candida and is met with only in woods, never in 
abundance, visiting flowers, and sometimes resting on the same flowers with Zemeros- and Lvcaenid-$$. 
harina flies all the year round, from the sea-shore up to 2—4000 ft. The species has about the same
