MANDARINIA; DRUSILLOPSIS. By H. Fruhstorfer.

After second instar the larvae are whitish green without any darker dorsal markings and possess very 
long fork shaped diverging prongs at bead and anal segment and these are of a delicate pink colour. The 
whole body is covered with fine diagonal fluting and sparsely haired. After last instar the head and anal 
appendages are nearly double as long and are still of the same delicate pink, whereas with respect to the general 
colouring there are two distinct types of larvae : 1° whitish yellow larvae which before pupating become gradually 
palei, and 2° those in which the pink of the appendages covers the whole body. Either type has a stigmata! 
line of a creamy white colour. The appendages often stick straight out beyond the head and makes the larva look 
like a leaf snail with its outstretched horns. They never hide deep in the grass but stay up high near the spikes 
which afford colour protection and feed in broad daylight. They hang up high on the stalks to pupate and 
look like ripe oats. The pupa is of a yellow brown often with a metalic glitter. As the larva hangs up, not on 
horizontal, but on vertical stalks, the pupa projects at a bold curve from the stalk. The full grown larva measures 
from 35 to 37 mm. After exactly nine days the butterfly comes out at between 9 and 11 A. M. Yet an¬ 
other species is found from Celebes to New-Guinea which has a white median line threadlike in fineness and 
described as licilim Fruhst. From Pommerania we have butterflies having the median nearly as broad as in licium. 
those we have observed in the Southern-Indies. These should be mufata Btlr. — modestus Misk ., the Austra- mutata. 
lian representative of the genus is spread over the country between Cooktown in Queensland and Thursday- mode-stus 
Island. 
0. jopas is found in Celebes and the Sula-Islands. The scent fold below the submarginal of f. w. 
of jopas is bigger, deeper, better developed than in medus. The scent pan apparently filled with lighter 
scales, the scent pencil rather yellower and longer. The costal border of h. w. also lighter than in medus 
and the silky glossy bristles shorter and appressed. There are three local races of jopas to deal with: pauper- paupercula. 
cula Fruhst. (91 a). Smaller than the Celebes race. Antemarginal lines on up. s. of both wings more sharply 
marked. Un. s.: The white median bands narrower, of a cleaner white and more sharply defined. The 
eyespot region of h. w. wider spread and paler. The eyespots themselves more oval, larger and with linear 
pupils. Sula-Besi, collected by Doherty. — jopas Fleiv. habitat only vaguely known by its author as East- jopas. 
India and considered by him an ab. of medus-, it is one of the commonest found near human habitations in N. 
Celebes, bigger, darker than paupercula. Taken by me in numbers at Toli-Toli in November, December. — men- mendice. 
dice subsp. nov. produced by a locality with a lighter rainfall, appears in S. Celebes from September to December. 
Smaller than jopas with clearer white bands and antemarginal lines, differing from pouipercula through the 
darkened antemarginal lines of h. w. up. s. 
Genus: an«lai*iiBia Leech. 
Leech forgot to mention the fundamental characteristics of this peculiar genus, to wit, the base of none 
of the veins is distended and the h. w. cell is sharply acuminated. Mandarinia differs again from Culapa through 
the concave form of the anal border of f. w., reminding one of Euploeen, Taenaris and Antirrhaea, and the broad 
brush of hairs on h. w. which recalls the peculiar scent apparatus of Antirrhaea philoctetes L. 
Only one species is known to science, it comes from China where Leech tells us it is very local and by 
no means common. M. regalis Leech (Vol. I, p. 80, Fig. 29 a). It is highly probable that regalis may yet regalis. 
be discovered in Yunnan, whence it must have passed on to Tonkin where I found a local race baronesa 
Fruhst. (93 c). With an expanse of 27 mm it is smaller than regalis which is never less 'han 30—33 mm. The 
blue transversal band of f. w. is much narrower especially in the upper part, the spots are more isolated and 
are distally more incisive. The band runs inward irregularly, reaches at the very farthest the submarginal 
and on account of its want of breadth is farther from the anal angle, i. e. it is pushed back inward. The 
band too is of a deeper blue. Tonkin, Than Moi, June and July. $ rounder winged, with pale blue submargi¬ 
nal band, which is noticeably narrower than in $. 
Genus: I^rissilbtpsis Fruhst. (= Hamadryopsis Oberihiir, nom. nud.) 
This peculiar genus of which the only known species was discovered by Doherty in Dutch-New-Guinea 
must be placed near the Mycalesides on account of its distended veins f. w. and the scent pencil on costal border 
of h. w. up. s. So far as one may judge the veins from Oberthur’s figures, the cell of h. w. is just as acu¬ 
minated as it is in the genus Mandarinia, but in Drusillopsis the lower discocellular pushes against the furcation 
of the two nearer medians of h. w. and does not inosculate distally from them as in Mandarina. Position and 
build of discocellulars as in other Papuan Culapa.
