from the Mayal Peninsular and Sumatra extends northwards to Upper-Tenasserim and was found by me in 
middle Siam. In both the latter localities a remarkably modified dry-season form flavobrunnea 8m. occurs, flavo- 
in which the yellow markings are enlarged and in the extreme forms the black median band of the hindwings },rnnnm - 
disappears altogether., so that the row of black spots are situated on a yellow background. The basal region 
of the upper- and undersides are also paler. The flight of the butterflies is rather week and always close to the 
ground, especially in freshly felled clearings. They also delight in flowering trees, which are sometimes co¬ 
vered with them, so that 40 to 50 specimens can be captured with one sweep of the net. (Martin). Time of 
flight in Tenasserim April,. I myself caught flavobrunnea in the Temple gardens of Bangkok and at the borders 
of woods at Muoklek in Siam in January. According to Moore in the Mergui Archipelago from January to 
March. bilbilis subs]), nov. is based upon a Javanese race in which the influence of the rainy season can be re- bilbilis. 
marked through the appearance of an extremely narrow-banded form, which is especially characterized on 
the hindwings, by a hardly more than threadlike yellowish central band, which like all the submarginal yellow 
markings has a whiter instead of a dark yellow-ochre color, which is also peculiar to the Found by me 
only in West Java at Palabuan on the South Coast and in the Djampangs up to about 500 m near Suka-

vanese specimens by the more distinct submarginal chain of crescents and in the in the abortive transcellu- 
lar yellow transverse band of the hindwings. The whole of the pale markings of the upper sides of the $ ap¬ 
pear whitish, instead of yellow and the underside has a more greyish instead of greenish yellow tone. Island 
Palawan, found by Doherty in numbers in January. Most probably a similar race occurs on Borneo, but 
specimens from there are not known to me. — ortopia subsp. nov. (121 d) probably a dry-season form, has ortopia. 
narrower sharply defined, dark yellow median bands and in the more distinct anteterminal crescents than 
palloris from Palawan; $ upperside somewhat like the Sumatra but somewhat paler yellow. Undersides 
with indistinct coloring, especially in comparison with the extensively black shaded Palawan specimens. Is¬ 
land of Bazilan in February and March discovered by Doherty. Semper knew specimens from Mindoro, the 
Camotes and Bohol. Time of flight November to February. 
C. satyrina differs from C. fasciata in the dark basal area and the wholly darkened borders to all the 
wings and occasionally the subterminal and submarginal bands of the uppersides are entirely wanting. Fur¬ 
ther the forewings have only one sometimes white, sometimes creamcolored median band, which is not conti¬ 
nued into the transcellular region as in fasciata. On the undersides the style of markings of fasciata are repea¬ 
ted, but again the two transcellular spots of the forewings are wanting, on which the central band suffused 
with brown is extended to near the costal border. Basal area grey with a broard blackish distal bordering: on 
the other side of the pale distal area a greyish black shaded band, then especially on the hindwings a relati¬ 
vely broard whitish area, finally a distinct subterminal wavy band, which is accompanied distally by a delicate 
greyish white line, satyrina inhabits the Celebean subregion, where it is always extremely rare. Three local satyrina. 
races are known, but we may expect a number of others from the Celebes Satellit Islands: satyrina Feld. 
(= myrsa Sm .) (121 d) inhabits the north of the chief island and a single specimen was taken by me at Toli- 
Toli in November or December. Central band of the forewings very distinct, distal area with whitish traces 
of the transverse lines of the underside. — Sibylla Rob. Type from Tombagu, East Celebes. A from Ma- sibylla.

and here the East of Celebes has the same race in common with the South, as is generally the rule. Upper- 
sides of the forewings with dull cream-colored central bands, which are more extended on the hindwings than 
in satyrina. The border area of all wings is entirely black, also the sexual streaks. Undersides with prominent 
subterminal bands and a more yellowish instead of whitish submarginal zone. — similiana Rob. inhabits the similiana. 
island Bangkai. It is smaller than satyrina, which it otherwise resembles in the distinctly preserved submar¬ 
ginal white line of the uppersides. Underside dirty white with greyish black bands and spots. The discal 
black spots of the hindwings are proximally bounded with grey. Expanse $ 42, <$ 46 mm, in comparison with 
44—47 of sibylla Rob. of East Celebes. - angustata subsp. nov. forms a transition from the Celebean to the angustata. 
Philippine forms and approaches nearer to fasciata than satyrina. Fore wings however without transcellular 
markings, the yellow median band of all wings not half so broard as D. fasciata from Java or Palawan. Sula- 
Mangoli collected by Dr. Platen. Type in the Staudinger collection in the Berlin Zoolog. Museum. 
C. felderi approaches nearer to the fasciata type in the ochre colored median area of the uppersides, the 
greenish grey basal region of the undersides, whereas the black borders of the uppersides remind one more of 
sibylla. On the forewings traces of the yellow transcellular spots are again in evidence. — felderi Kirsch is only felderi.

than mimicus Rothsch. from British New-Guinea, in which the subterminal wavy lines of the underside only mimicus.
