but has the bands above more than twice as wide, and the anteterminal area of hindwing whitish-grey. Excee¬ 
dingly scarce on the Battak Plateau in Sumatra. $ presumably unknown. Other forms may be expected from 
Perak, Borneo, Tonkin and Yunnan. 
L. zayla Dbd. (123 b) is the largest and most brillant species of the Genus. Under surface very gaudily zayla. 
coloured, forewing resembling some species of the Neotropical Adelpha in the ochreous median and red-brown 
terminal area. Hindwing pale bluish-green basally, as in zulema. The very scarce $ has the median band on 
forewing longer, on hindwing narrower. Found in Sikkim from June till August, in open woods, most abundant 
on Birch Hill above Darjeeling. Although a strong flier, it occasionally alights on the ground like L. daraxa. 
Specimens from Bhotan in my collection; according to Swiniioe common in Assam, where Doherty took 
quite a number in the Naga Hills. 
L. hollandi resembles above Pantoporia selenophora, especially the Javanese jadava Fldr. with which hollandi. 
it has often been confounded. Occurs in a number of forms from Bali to Flores and from Sumba to Timor. 
above deep black with paler antemarginal lines. $ differs from d in the more rounded wings and the paler 
grey-brown (instead of black) ground-colour, on which the design of the under surface shows plainly through. 
The subapical spots are larger and, like the broader median bands, yellowish instead of clear white. Also the 
under surface has all white markings increased. — lombokiana subsp. nov. differs from the typical form in hav- lombokiana. 
ing the white subapical spots smaller and the bands narrower above. Beneath the white, fungoid spot at 
apex of cell is considerably smaller than in hollandi. Found in Lombok at altitudes of from 2—4000 ft. Flies 
from April till June, in full sunshine along the borders of the woods, resembling in its indefatigable flight our 
Lirnenitis Camilla. A similar form also in Bali. — hollandi Doh. resembles the figured fylgia (122 f). Discovered 
in Sumbawa, by Doherty in the Donggo Region, at about 2000 ft. — fylgia subsp. nov. (122 f as chilo), is a fylgia. 
smaller, paler form, $ still more like than in lombokiana. Subapical spots beneath steeper, marginal bands paler

large and the median band much wider than in hollandi. Timor, type in the Staudinger Collection. 
L. chilo Sm. Of this quite isolated species only one $ is known. Upper surface dark chocolate brown, chilo. 
with large ochreous subapical spot and a broadly white transcellular band on forewing. Hindwing with broad 
pale ochreous distal area and, separated from it by a narrow black stripe, an ochreous anteterminal line. 
Lender surface brown, with the same white band as above, but in the place of the yellow an area of pale 
lilac Island of Sumba, discovered by Doherty. 
Group B: Auzakia Moore. 
L. danava is, although inVol.I, p. 189 described under the Euthaliidi, a true Lirnenitis. Whereas the 
A hardly differs from L. dudu , not even in the shape of wings, the $ has the latter rather more acuminate. 
Three local forms: danava Moore. Upper surface black-brown at base, pale grey-brown in the distal area, danava. 
the costal vein of the to re wing, as well as all the veins and the anal angle of the hindwing irrorated with dark 
green. $ very scarce, larger than above more broadly and intensely dusted with olive green, with yellowish- 
white median band on both wings; forewing with yellowish-grey, tongue-shaped transcellular spots. Submar¬ 
ginal stripes grey-yellow. Under surface with narrow, yellowish-white discal area, broadly bordered with pale 
olive green distally; otherwise like The only $ contained in Staudinger’s collection in Berlin is rather 
smaller than my $ (rainy-season form ?) from Assam, as is also the type from Sikkim figured by Moore. Ranges 
from Cashmere to the Naga Hills and the Shan States, Upper Burma. According to Moore it is common in 
Nepal and Assam; rare in Sikkim, at altitudes of from 1600—6000 ft., between April and October. — leechi leechi. 
Moore (Vol. I, p. 189, pi. 57 e) is smaller and on both sides darker than danava. Changyang and Upper Szet- 
chuan. $ unknown. — alboniarginata Weym. (= hageni Stgr.), a good local form, very scarce, although less albomar- 
so than L. dudu bocki Moore , in the mountains of North-East Sumatra; several specimens were sent to me by 9 maia - 
my collectors also from Padang Bovenlanden in Western Sumatra. Forewing almost black, with brillant green 
spots in the cell. Hindwing yellowish or white over the entire distal area, anal angle irrorated with olive or bluish- 
green. Under surface has the terminal area broadly white, suffused with lilac. $ discovered and described by 
Dr. Martin. 
L. austenia Moore is exclusively found in Assam, where Doherty discovered it in May near Margharita austenia. 
in the low-lands; otherwise but few specimens are known. Upper surface umber-brown, with a pale brown 
band composed of crescents, and a series of submarginal spots of liver or horse-shoe shape, very much like those
