Stictoploea, resembling the figured laetifica (82 a). On Mindoro and Mindanao occurs in addition a second 
Stictoploea, which was recognized as a distinct form by Staudinger and Semper, and which they called tyri- 
antliina. In this so-called tyrianthina the white subapical patch of the forewing is absent and it is also 
smaller than dufresne. These examples, however, differ considerably from true tyrianthina in the brighter 
blue sheen on the upperside of the wings. It is almost certain that this hitherto erroneously designated form 
is entitled to specific rank, and 1 would prepose for it the name praeelymnias spec, nov., as Mindanao produces praeelym- 
an Elymnias species showing a tendency to vary in the same direction, namely Elymnias heza Hew. The _ 
well known typical form of this may be regarded as analogous to Euploea praeelymnias, whilst a rarer form 
approximates to dufresne in the large white subapical spots of the forewing. Both fly together on Davao.

surface of the wings.

distinguish from aristotelis Moore from the north of the island by the darker and more glossy blue. In the 
larger white subapical patches of the forewing above and the pronounced double row of white submarginal 
dots, moreover, cabeira approximates more to mazares Moore from Java than to aristotelis (type in coll, 
Staudinger). — gamala subsp. nov. approaches palawana Fruhst., but is smaller, darker blue and with the gamala.

from Banda, is of dark brown ground-colour and has a much narrower whitish distal margin to both wings. 
The apical patch is more extended brown and cuts more deeply into the submarginal band than in hopfferi, 
so that this band is distally more deeply excised. Island of Tjandoe in the Key Group. 
P. 262, to Eupl. negleyana: This race from Hainan has now reached me in numbers and by its 
variability has led me to relinquish my belief in the specific independence of klugi Moore (p. 270) and to 
attach this well-known Assam Euploea to leucostictos Gmel. as simply a geographical race, coelestis Fruhst. 
(83 b), discussed on p. 262, distinctly forms the transition from leucogonys to the insular negleyana and to 
the continental klugi. Among klugi in my collection there are several examples which can scarcely be 
separated from leucogonys. cfcf also occur on Hainan in which the wedge-shaped, white-sprinkled discal 
spots and delicately blue transcellular ones specially mentioned by Holland are wanting (Ieucostictina form. / eucostidina 
nov.), and in Assam there occur similar examples, which are further characterized by the absence of the blue 
or violet sexual spot between the lower median and the submedian on the forewing. But neither Moore nor 
Butler has mentioned or described specimens of this description and strange to say they have never been 
figured. Of the aberrations classified under klugi , crassa Btlr ., p. 27 1, should be separated and raised to specific 
rank. To it belong, besides sherwilli , macclalandi and uniformis Moore, all the forms specified after kollari. 
P. 263, to Eupl. leucostictos: marea subsp. nov. forms the transition from juno Stick from Nias to phane ma rea. 
Doh. from Engano. The cf only differs materially from phcine in the greatly restricted blue reflection on the 
hindwing, which scarcely extends beyond the cell. The ? approaches that of juno , bearing the aspect of a 
slightly darkened variety, with the white centres of the subapical spots of the forewing reduced. Batoe Islands 
P. 264, to Eupl. viola: The description of leochares may be completed from a pair collected by Kuhn 
on Saleyer: smaller and darker than Celeban viola , the transcellular and subapical spots relatively small, 
predominantly white with blue bordering. Under surface approaching the South Celeban westwoodi , but 
with smaller spot.

hindwing above with the diffuse spots only indicated, as if showing through from the under surface, but very 
large and powdered with grey-brown. Under surface of the hindwing with only one row of submarginal 
patches and two subapical whitish punctiform spots. Mindanao, discovered by Dr. Platen.

of both wings and still further by the uniform rows of pure white, submarginal intramedian spots on the
