traversed by very narrow reddish and more extensive whitish bands. It occurs in northern and southern 
Borneo and is apparently nowhere rare. — bangueyana subsp. nov. is closely allied to the Javanese Clarissa , but bangueyana. 
smaller in size; the reddish anal border of the hindwing is considerably narrower, the under surface shows 
upon the darker ground of the hindwing a dusky ochre-yellow submarginal band, which is rather much 
contracted. From the island of Banguey situated to the north of Borneo, cf in Staudjnger coll. — luciella luciella. 
subsp. nov. from the island of Balabac which lies to the north of Banguey and belongs to the Philippines, 
closely approaches lucia Stgr. from Palawan; the upperside which, although darker, is still a more brillant 
blue, shows in the hindwings an intensely dark red-yellow anal area, on which the lunular spots are 
larger, darker and more sharply-defined than in lucia. Under surface in both sexes is more variegated, 
deeper red-brown with more extensive violet shading. The type is contained in Staudinger coll. lucia lucia. 
Stgr. from Palawan resembles in cf the form nympha, from which it differs in that the anal border of the 
hindwings is of a deeper yellow-red irrorated with violet. In the ? the difference is much greater in as much 
as the upper surface of both wings is largely of a chocolate-brown colour, and displays but a faint trace of 
the blue spots; the under surface is paler than in nympha ?. — lucilla Btlr. represents another case of lucilla. 
Melanism; above it shows some similarity with diunaga in the conspicuous violet band in the anal area of 
the hindwings which, however, is orange-coloured and rather broader. The under surface of the hindwings 
has smaller red-brown median spots than in lucia. Butler describes it as coming from Luzon, but Semper 
limits it to Mindanao. One cf in my collection is labelled “Mindoro”, Flies in May and again in November. 
Occurs in north-eastern Mindanao north of the ninth degree of Latitude. — ludmilla Stgr. in this form the ludmilla. 
blue antemarginal line is shorter than in lucia. the colour of the under surface paler. From the islands of 
Sangir. — militum Obthr. differs from the other forms in that the apex of the forewings is more elongate and mititum. 
the anal border of the hindwings is somewhat lemon-yellow and broader. The black or bluish patches placed 
upon the yellow distal half are quite faint. In the ? which differs but slightly from the cf, the predominant 
colour is brown, the forewings are without any blue median band, but display in the basal half a sharply- 
defined blue tract. The 5 specimens before me show on the underside all the characteristics of the dry-season 
forms: All the bands have disappeared, being only in the ? barely indicated by a fine longitudinal streak. Upon 
the pale, “washed-out” underside of the hindwings is seen, as in Polygonia c. album , a short white hook-shaped 
line, right there were the cell appears to be closed by the median fold; it stands quite isolated, as the bright 
band which in the other cfanssa-forms traverses the entire wing is lacking. Both wings mimic on the under 
side withered leaves; their colour is a peculiar sand or earth-brown; only in the ?? the original banded design 
is slightly noticeable, resembling however more atlita F. than clarissa. As to the colouring ol the upper 
surface, militum stands in the middle between the violet specimens of clarissa and the blue forms of atlita. 
The anal half of the hindwings is of a gorgeous yellow with a reddish shade, whilst in clarissa it is orange- 
coloured with a tinge of violet. But with regard to the shape of the scent-scale spots, militum resembles 
clarissa, whereas in atlita they appear much broader, filling up the upper half of the cell. In the ? only the 
basal half of the forewings and the cell of the hindwings show that beautiful blue colour; the entire outer 
half of the forewings is dark chocolate-brown, traversed by a number of black bands. The hindwings are 
red-brown, with a. black-brown costal border. The anal area is darker yellow than in the cf, the submarginal 
lunules in the costal and anal area rather more distinct than in the cf. The under surface is paler gray, 
with a dull lustre and traversed by red-brown and yellowish bands. Before the apex is placed within the 
white spot a black dot which is also met with in teuthras. If we accept Pieper’s theory regarding the species 
with far-projecting apex of the forewings and the longest anal appendages to the hindwings, militum appears 
phylogenetically the oldest form. It combines the characteristics of clarissa on the upper surface with those 
of teuthras on the under surface. From Tonkin, found at Than-Moi in June and July; very scarce. — falcata falcata. 
Frulist. (= falcipennis Lathy) appears to be but an indistinct local form of the preceding, possibly only an 
intermediate or extreme dry-season form. Both wings are more obscured and less richly shaded with violet. 
The yellow colour at the anal angle is more like that of sand, and bordered with more red. In size it is 
somewhat smaller than normal specimens from Tonkin. From Siam, where it was found near Hinlap in 
January, at an elevation of about 1000 ft. — Iioneli Frulist. represents a form wich is more lavishly banded lioneli. 
on the underside, pictured by Niceville and Bingham; their type which came from Tenasserim, approaches 
clarissa in the colouring of the anal portion of the hindwings as well as in the more rounded apex of the 
forewings. Perhaps lioneli will later on prove to be only the wet-season form of militum.

T. atlita is the earliest known species of the genus. It inhabits the Macromalayan Archipelago, with 
the exception of Java, displaying in its various insular forms the same general scheme of colouring as T. 
clarissa. Also in this species Borneo produces the most brillantly coloured forms, while Perak stands in the 
middle and Sumatra contains the darkest. — atlita F. (108d as atlites ) is beneath not so brightly red-brown atlita. 
as clarissa; the submarginal band which traverses the wings, is reddish or yellow, less strongly undulate. 
The hindwings lack moreover the white streak which in clarissa is enclosed between the nervules distally 
to the cell; in the ?? the forewings show at the anal angle a whitish patch which in clarissa appears on the 
hindwings. In the shape of the wings all the forms of atlita resemble rather T. clarissa militum. It is not
