P. 231, to malayica: roduna subsp. nov. inhabits the small island of Banguey in the Sulu Group, to 
the north of Borneo, and is smaller, darker brown and more finely dotted than scudderi Btlr. from Borneo. 
P. 233, to Eupl. alecto: barea subsp. nov. represents the species in Dutch New Guinea, at Ati-Ati-Onin, 
in coll. Staudinger; smaller than nox Btlr. from Aru, with the rows of white spots on the upper surface 
strongly reduced and especially smaller discal and submarginal dots on the underside of both wings. 
P. 235, to Eupl. funerea Btlr.: murena subsp. nov. Considerably smaller than funerea Btlr., of which 
it is a darkened satellite-island-race, with the yellowish submarginal band of the forewing strongly infuscated 
and the submarginal patches of the hindwing almost absent. Yule Island. 
P. 235, to Eupl. lielcita: Through the kindness of the director of the Senckenburg Museum in Frankfort 
on the Maine 1 have been able to examine two further sharply differentiated island races, both of which are 
represented by several examples in the Museum, matilica subsp. nov. surpasses even eschholtzi Fldr. from the 
Fiji Islands in the considerably widened white spots of the forewing and the larger and more complete series 
of subapical and antemarginal patches and dots. The hindwing bears a row of very long, proximally pointed 
strigae, placed in pairs, at the median veins and a complete row of larger admarginal dots. The prominent 
whitish violet discal dots of eschholtzi and aglaina on the under surface are partially absent in this and the 
following race. Tahiti Paputi, in September. - lilybaea subsp. nov. forms a transition from eschholtzi to 
aglaina Eruhst., the transcellular white areas of the forewing are more uniform, almost quadrate, the anterior 
are shorter than in matilica, the subapical spots as in eschholtzi and the hindwing as in perryi Btlr., with 
complete double rows of small submarginal dots above. Colour of all the spots yellowish, not dazzling white 
as in matilica. From Tanna, in the New Hebrides. 
P. 236, to Eupl. amymone Godt.: hadrumaia subsp. nov. A race with the hindwing darkened, but 
the forewing more copiously dotted with white, from Hainan, where it is not rare. The form is especially 
characterized by the very large, pure white submarginal dots of the forewing above in the ?? and the 
reduced submarginal strigae on both surfaces of the hindwing. 
P. 236: prunosa Moore, which from Moore’s description I took for a local form of godarti Luc., is, 
judging from examples in coll. Staudinger, a representative species or highly developed rainy-season form of 
amymone. It appears that Staudinder obtained the name prunosa from Oberthur, who is in possession of 
Moore’s type, prunosa Styr., indeed, by no means agrees with the description of prunosa Moore, but as 
apart from this it is probable that prunosa will sink as a synonym of amymone Godt., kinbergi Wallgr., 
lorquini Fldr., felderi Btlr., while on the other hand these four names may probably have to be divided 
between two species, the name prunosa is here retained in Staudinger’s sense until 1 have the opportunity 
of verifying the types of the several forms in England. In the meantime the Staudinger collection is acces¬ 
sible to everyone, so that comparisons can easly be made, prunosa differs from amymone Godt. and from 
the examples thus labelled in coll. Staudinger in its larger size, the longer sexual stripes of the forewing 
and the absence of the white antemarginal dots on the underside of the hindwing. Hong-Kong and South 
China. — As tersatica subsp. nov. 1 would designate the representative from Hainan, to whichever name-type 
it may ultimately prove to belong. It differs from hadrumaia, which flies together with it, and of which 
also the more northerly name-type has not yet been settled, like the Hong-Kong form in the larger size of both 
wings and compared with prunosa from Hong-Kong and hadrumaia from Hainan in the reduction of the white 
dots on the upper surface. The hindwing bears above no white dots at all and the submarginal patches of 
the forewing in the ?? are not pure white, but tinged with blue or violet. Hainan, not rare. 
P. 237, to Eupl. alcathoe: lucania subsp. nov., nearly allied to simplex Eruhst. from Nias and forming 
the transition from this to the West Sumatran vcmar a Fruhst. The cd similar to simplex, but with somewhat 
more pronounced grey-white striae on the upperside of the hindwing. The ? smaller than that of vonara, 
with narrower intraneural stripes, slightly scaled with grey-brown, on the hindwing. Pulo Tello in the Batoe 
Islands, off the west coast of Sumatra. 
P. 239, to Eupl. swainsoni: jadiva subsp. nov. is a melanotic island race, approaching butra Stgr., but 
with the white patches reduced. Balabac. — The Berlin Museum (coll. Staudinger) possesses a cd of dono- 
vani Fldr. from the Minahassa, collected by Dr. Platen; hence the locality Celebes is confirmed. — bevagna 
subsp. nov. is nearly allied to donovani, but has a broader sexual stripe on the forewing, the white patches of 
the forewing are larger and have the blue bordering more extended and with a brighter gloss. Island of Sangir. 
P. 240, to Eupl. d.iana: nicaias subsp. nov., judging from the ?? in coll. Staudinger, nearly appoaches 
tombugcnsis Fruhst. from East Celebes, but has a paler brown ground-colour and the white spots on both 
wings less developed. Bangkai. 
P. 247, to Eupl. dufresne: On the Philippines occur two very interesting forms of this species, as is 
sufficiently evidenced by material in coll. Staudinger. On almost all the Philippines there is only one
