PANTOPORIA. By H. Fruhstorfer. 
of a peculiar pale brown colour, with a very long, conspicuous discal band of deep brown. $ has the subapical 
and subanal spots on forewing farther separated than in larymna, the subbasal band on hindwing narrower, 
the outer band wider, darker than in elisa, siamensis and larymna, yellowish instead of white. Island of Xias. 
P. magindana above resembles larymna in the shape of its pattern, although all markings are greatly 
reduced in size; in its fulvous colouring it recalls alcamene (124a). Beneath it is cpiite like larymna, and it 
is only necessary to discover some intermediate form to enable us to regard it as the Philippine form of 
magindana. larymna. The colouring of the under surface varies from grey to red-brown, with darker discal bands. — ma- 
siiana. gindana Semp. January till Xovember, Mindanao, very scarce.—- zilana Fruhst., differing in from magindana 
in having the bands reddish instead of yellowish, and on hindwing broader, more regular and less steep. Ground- 
colour beneath rather red than grey-brown, more richly suffused with violet; all white spots more pronounced; 
antennae darker. Bazilan, February, March, collected by W. Doherty. In Bohol we find an allied form, men¬ 
tioned by Semper, but unknown to me. 
In the Celebian Subregion and the Southern Moluccas we find the largest species of the Pantoporidi, 
P. eulimene, remarkable for the reddish colouring of the upper surface. Also here we find the design of larymna, 
but al the spots and the submarginal band on hindwing larger, whereas the median band on the same wing is 
reduced. Under surface distinguished by the whitish-yellow transverse bands which only rarely are faintly 
badoura. bordered with red, and the broad black shades and fasciae. —- badoura Btlr. differs from the figured euli¬ 
mene (123 b) in the small, indistinctly fulvous, subapical spots on forewing and the diminished bands on both 
wings. Under surface has the yellow markings broader, the black bands correspondingly diminished. Xorth 
Celebes, scarce. Collected by me at Toli-Toli, November-December, also from the Minahassa in my collection. 
Specimens from the southern part of the island are smaller and, especially above, paler, bands rather yello- 
hegelochus. wish than reddish. — • hegelochus subsp. nov. from Bangkai in the Staudinger collection. Especially the $$ 
form a sharp contrast with the allied forms by the broader and more brown-yellow bands above. Beneath 
symphelus. still paler than South Celebian specimens, paler brown-yellow and but slightly spotted with black. — sym- 
phelus subsp. nov. represents the most extreme case of Melanism in the collective species. differs above 
but slightly from badoura, $ with narrower fulvous bands. The under surface has a rather different appearance, 
being much darker and nearly brown-black. Sula Islands, type in the Berlin Museum, found by Dr. P latex. 
eulimene. —- eulimene Godt. (= jocaste Fldr.) (123 b) of which we figure a $ from Buru, occurs also in Amboina. $ 
has the wings more acuminate than with more delicate red spots. Under surface, aside from the pale bands, 
nearly black, in $ black-brown. Very scarce, only a few specimens known. 
Group B: Pantoporia. 
On fore wing discoidal cell invariably closed. 
Larva long, worm-shaped, green with red dorsal spot; all segments armed with long spines. Pupa 
with diverging horns.' Only in a few species the $$ are like the otherwise highly sexually dimorphic 
and polychrome. 
P. kanwa, a rare and plainly marked species, ranging from Assam and Burma to the Macromalayan 
Region, but hitherto not observed in Perak or Java. Above like napoleonis (124 d); under surface smoky-brown, 
on hindwing the inner area bordered with greenish. $ only differing in the slightly more rounded wings and 
phorkys. larger size. — phorkys subsp. nov. is the form from the continent, figured by Moore; easily distinguished 
from the Macromalayan forms by the reduced yellowish-white spotting on the fore wing and the much narrower, 
beneath shorter, white streak in the discoidal cell. Subbasal band on hindwing somewhat broader than in 
napoleonis. Very scarce in Assam and Upper Burma; also from Tavoy. Doherty collected it on the Karen- 
zynara. Hills at elevations of from 3000—-4800 ft. — zynara subsp. nov. differs from the name type from Borneo and 
from napoleonis in having on the upper surface the bands clear white and broader. Under surface darker, 
more broadly shaded with browur-grey than in kanwa. Sumatra, very scarce. — A similar race occurs 
kanwa. also in Banka. —• kanwa Moore closely resembles napoleonis, but with more prominent white markings. Xorth 
napoleonis. and South-East Borneo; an almost identical specimen from Singapore in my collection. —- napoleonis Fruhst. 
(124 d). $ has the bands more yellowish and diffuse than <$. Beneath more richly shaded with greyish- 
brown than kanwa Moore. Island of Xias. 
P. reta is a Macromalayan species which, like P. kanwa, has spread northward as far as Assam. Great
