is a new dry-season form, which is before me not only from Palawan but alsoTrom Matanani island (North- 
Borneo). Uppersurface of all wings paler yellow brown, transverse bands of the forewings distally whitish. 
sangirica. Median area of the hindwings crossed by dull yellow brown bands. — sangirica subsp. nov. appears darker but 
brighter than Philippine specimens and has much narrower and warmer yellow ochre bands on the forewings 
celebensis. than the Mindoro and Mindanao races. Island of # Sangir. Type in the Staudinger collection. -—- celebensis 
Fruhst. (107 f) is a very brightly coloured island race. Forewings remarkable for a double row of violet subapical 
spots. Undersides with whitish violet transcellular streaks. Central Celebes, Dongala, August and September 
fedora, discovered by W. Doherty.- —fedora Fruhst. is a poorly coloured local or seasonal race from Eastern Celebes. 
Transverse bands of the forewings broader, ground colour paler brown, median streaks of the hindwings more 
muna. extended and duller than in celebensis. Undersides with somewhat faded violet horizontal lines. -—- muna Fruhst. 
reminds one of arias Fldr. from Luzon and the Mantanani Island (North-Borneo) in my collection, but is darker 
an more unicolorous than these. The yellow median bands of the forewings of muna are narrower, than in the 
remaining local races of erymanthis. The two black submarginal bands of the hindwings are somewhat closer 
together and are composed of smaller arches than in arias. The forewing undersides appear less brightly colored 
and much more simply marked than in arias, and the median bands of the hindwings run straighter. Forewing 
23 mm. Antennae pale redbrown. Island of Muna near Buton, collected by Drs. F. and P. Sarasin on the 
26th. Dec. 1894. Type in the Basel Museum. 
C. maeonides probably replaces C. erymanthis on Celebes and its satellite islands; but it is undoubtedly 
maeonides. a good species, maeonides Fheiv. (107 f) is distinguished by the beautiful redbrown horizontal streaks on the 
hindwings, which alternate with similar ones of violet color and of which the median is continued on to the 
forewings. Undersides reminding one of C. arias, but with more intensive and more strongly angled whitish 
rovena. violet bands. North Celebes, Toli-Toli, November, December. Minahassa, Kakatu Island. — rovena subsp. nov. 
is a smaller and paler form from the Southern Celebes with narrower bands on the forewings and also with some- 
maenada. what faded markings on the undersides. Neighbourhood of Maros, caught by me in November. - —• maenada Sm. 
is a fine local race with pale orange-yellow transverse bands on the forewings, which are nearly twice as broad 
and a yellow terminal border to the hindwings, which reaches to the middle median vein. Instead of the red¬ 
brown and violet transverse streaks there is a black double line. Underside similar to maeonides but with lighter 
forewing bands and pale yellow instead of whitish median and submarginal stripes. The submarginal spots 
on both sides more marked than in maeonides, Sula-Mangoli, October, November. 
C. crameri forms the natural continuation of C. arias on the Moluccas and in the Papuan region. The 
species differs from arias in the progressive darkening of the uppersides, as it gets further eastwards, of the 
deep black terminal region especially of the hindwings. The median bands of the hindwings are more prominent 
as a rule than in arias, the black submarginal dots are as a rule surrounded by a red patch and the underside 
is brighter with much heavier violet grey transverse bands. Uncus basally somewhat thicker than in C. ery- 
crameri. manthis, valve longer otherwise no noticeable difference, crameri Fldr. differs from the figured keyana (1<>7 e) 
principly through the somewhat broader black terminal borders of the uppersides of the hindwings and through 
the paler yellow-ochre general tint of the undersides of all wings. Ceram, Amboina, Saparua; 1 $ in my collec- 
palla. tion is said to come from Ternate. — In palla Rob. the uppersides are pale yellow, the black border is reduced, 
in the apex of the forewings yellow spots are present and on the undersides the redbrown and black markings 
keyana. are paler. Island of Goram. — keyana subsp. nov. (107 e misprinted as kajuna) has a uniform reddish yellow- 
ochre tone to the undersides, a redbrown instead of black apex to the forewings and deep violet transverse 
bands on the hindwings, According to Kuhn common all over little Key Island, flying in woods near to the 
leonida. ground between bushes. — leonida subsp. nov. comprises the melanotic extreme of the collective species: Base 
of all wings dark brown, transverse bands of the forewings and median bands of the hindwings reddish yellow- 
ochre. Underside differs from keyana in the prominent bright violet spots of the forewings and the beautiful 
highly coloured whitish violet markings of the hindwings. From Hattam, Arfak-Territory Dutch New-Guinea 
in my collection and numerous specimens from the island of Mefoor in the Geelvik-Bay. 
C. lampetia inhabits the southern Molukkas and is characterised by the large black submarginal 
spots of the hindwings, an oblique, proximally sharply defined yellow-ochre transverse band on the forewings. 
Underside with yellowish basal and blackish distal regions. Forewings with three violet subapical spots and the 
lampetia. hindwings with a similar median band and whitish submarginal crescents. Two island races: lampetia L., diffe¬ 
ring from the figured mirona (107f)in the hindwings being hardly lightened in the median area. Amboina, Ceram, 
mirona. Saparua; —- and mirona Frulist. 107 f); which is veiy like the typical form, but can immediately be separated 
by the delicate black submarginal spots of the hindwing-uppersides, which are surrounded by lovely shining 
yellowbrown crescents, which form together a complete band. The yellowish white admarginal spots are also 
more pronounced. Underside: The outer border of the forewings blacker instead of redbrown, the yellowish
