ATELLA. By H. Fruhstorfer. 
by the transverse bands between the median veins touching oneanother. In all other alcippe forms these streaks 
run towards the base, that is to say they approach the wall of the cell and are thus pla.ced obliquely so that 
they run parallel to one another. Enganica is further more richly dotted with black. Engano, April, July 3 ££ 
Coll. Fruhstorfer. Java is also inhabited by a formerly unrecognized subspecies of alcippe, which has been 
drepana. named drepana Fruhst. It almost resembles ■— though it may appear paradoxical -— the specimens from Halma- 
lieira and is distinguished by such broad black bordering of the forewings, that the submarginal bands are 
almost merged in them. The black mark at the end of the cell is also considerably enlarged and on the hind- 
wings the black is almost twice as broad as in pallidior Stgr. from Palawan. Home, Java, captured on the slopes 
of the Cfede-Volcano at about 2000' at Sukabumi. Drepana is very rare in Java; I only noticed two specimens 
in the course of three years; unlike phalanta it prefers the shade, for instance light bushy woods where the sun 
| floresiana . can perculate. — floresiana subsp.nov. resembles the Indian alcippoides Moore, but all the black lines are more 
delicate, the yellow submarginal streaks of the forewings continuous and very prominent, the cellular and 
intramedian streaks finer. Undersides with vivid white and violet streaks. Flores, time of flight November. 
pallidior. ■— pallidior Stgr. approaches alcippoides, but the median and submarginal markings are heavier. ^ dull yellow- 
violetta. ochre with a very broad black spot in the cell apex of the forewings. Palawan, January. -— Violetta Fruhst. 
Avas based on an extraordinary colored specimen with the whole surface of the wings covered by a warm violet 
sheen and blackish dusky apical portion of the forewing uppersides, as Avell as of the terminal border of the 
semperi. hindwing undersides. Bazilan. ■— As semperi Moore (ne-m. nud.) specimens from the Northern Philippines can 
be designated, which in general have a reduction of the black markings of the uppersides of all wings. $ accor¬ 
ding to Semper with a very weak violet sheen and more strongly marked middle line on the undersides. Time 
celebensis. of flight May to October, Luzon, Cebu. — celebensis Wall., described from specimens from Makasar, is a well 
marked race, which connects the West Malayan forms with those of the Moluccas. Uppersides distinguished 
by prominent submarginal and median bands, which in the $ are even more extended and sometime coalesce. 
The subapical markings of the forewings are frequently dusted with black. Undersides with large red bands, 
which are edged with broad whitish blue. Captured by me at the Maros waterfall in November and at Toli- 
omctrion. Toli in November-—December. -— omarion subsp. nov. inhabits the Sula island and has uppersides of a vivid 
reddish yellow tone, Avell developed black markings and darker undersides. Sula Mangoli, type in the Stau- 
alcippe. dinger collection. — alcippe Or. the first described race of the collective species, resembles the figured alcippina 
on the uppersides (107 c) but is larger and differs from the western races in the rounder cut of the Avings. The 
black markings somewhat heavier than in alcippina, but not so extended and continuous as in celebensis. Under¬ 
sides considerably blacker than celebensis and with the wavy lines on the foreAAings coalesced to form a ladder. 
Both wings traversed by rich white submarginal and median streaks. South Moluccas, not rare on Ceram, where 
quinta, specimens with and without violet sheen occur. Saparua in the Fruhstorfer collection. -—- quinta Fruhst. 
from Halmaheira differs from the Saparua specimens in the richer black markings of all wings, which is espe¬ 
cially noticeable in the cell of the foreAvings and the discal portion of the hindwings. The black bands at the 
end of the cell, and the black subanal markings of the forewings are broader, the black submarginal band of the 
hindwings more waved. Underside: here also the wings shew more prominent black bands and spots, further 
there appears a row of grey violet submarginal spots on all wings. The discal whitish violet band much broader, 
agoria. and in the discal portion of the undersides of all wings more richly dotted with black. — agoria Fruhst. from 
Batjan is larger than quinta, with very much broader black submarginal bands and heavier black spots at the 
alcippina. end of the cell of the forewings. Agoria is possibly only a wetseason form of quinta. — alcippina Fruhst., differs 
from the typical alcippe from the Southern Moluccas in its smaller size and consequently in the more delicate 
black markings of the upperwings. The black bands and spots are more sharply defined in alcippina and the 
upper yellow submarginal spot of the forewings darker and more reddish yellow. On the undersides it differs 
from alcippe in the unicolorous yellow foreAvings, on which the whitish submarginal helmet spots are entirely 
missing; only the discal band is obsolete whitish violet. On the hindwings the whitish violet bands are also 
cervina. more indistinct than in alcippe and the brown submarginal line is paler. Island of Obi. -—- cervina Btlr. is an inter¬ 
esting pale local race with the median area of the forewings quite free from markings, but Avith a very vivid 
blue violet underside. Dutch New-Guinea, from Dorey, Hattam in the Arfak mountains and from Kapaur in 
cervinides. my collection. — cervinides Fruhst., has a paler ground color than cervina, the submarginal bands of both wings, 
especially toAvards the apex more decided. The discal portion of the hindwings possesses a black band, which 
is hardly indicated in cervina. The undersides also paler, more richly colored with distinct pale brown submar- 
kinitis. ginal and whitish discal bands. Island Waigiu. — kinftis Fruhst. (107 c) resembles more the typical alcippe and 
the forms described by me. The underside has even a certain likeness to floresiana from the Lesser Sunda Islands. 
I compare the new form here with cervina, of which kimtis is a smaller edition with rounder forewings. Jcinitis 
has a broader black border and is more richly streaked Avith black on all wings but especially in the basal area. 
On all AA'ings the black, submarginal ziczac line very thick.
