green basal, and broadly white, uninterrupted, discal area. — pintuyana Semp. resembles above our figure 
(123 a), but the colouring is darker brown and on the hindwings the outer band of fulvous narrower. From 
Pintuyan de Panaon. — mahastha subsp. nov. (123 a as pintuyana) differs from the preceding form in the lighter 
general colouring of the upper surface and the smaller size of the white spots, the second (costal) one of which 
is moreover absent. Both wings with more reddish, but the white spotting on the unde r surface greatly diminish¬ 
ed. Island of Bazilan, February, March, Doherty. Type in Fruhstorfer’s collection. Only one $ available. 
L. lyncides comes, among the five now following species of the Celebian Subregion, nearest to the 
type of L. procris. Both sexes are nearly alike in colouring, the $ of a slightly duller shade of red-brown, 
and with more rounded wings. On the forewings the white-transverse band differs in width according to the 
locality, being broadest in the form from Southern Celebes, narrowest in that from Bangkai. lyncides Hew., 
type from the Minahassa, was observed by me also at Toli-Toli in North Celebes, during November and Decem¬ 
ber; specimens from the low-lands in the southern part of the island do not seem to differ appreciably from the 
northern form. —- But eutenia subsp. nov. (122 f as lyncides) has both in and $ the transverse band on the 
forewing unusually broad and clearer white. Collected on the Peak of Bonthain at an altitude of about 3200 ft., 
in March. — aniarapta subsp. nov., the type of which is contained in the Staudinger collection, has, in contra¬ 
distinction to the preceding, the white bands on the forewing greatly reduced. Island of Bangkai. 
Of L. lycone we distinguish in Celebes two but slightly differing forms: lycone Hew. from Minahassa, 
above with darker brown yellow markings and smaller white spots than are found in lyconides subsp. nov. (122 f), 
which latter has, moreover, the under surface paler, whitish and blue. Falls of Maros, January. 
L. lymire Hew. (123 a) is the largest and showiest among the sexually non-dimorphic Celebean species. 
$ slightly larger than <$, forewings with more brillant and brighter green irroration. The southern form does 
not differ perceptibly from the northern type. I found this species at Toli-Toli during November and December, 
and at the Falls of Maros in January. Valve more elongate and slender than in L. dudu jinamitra Fruhst. from 
Formosa, with sharp chitinous point distally, but without the spines found in Moduza procris ; the dorsal spur 
more blunt and stout than in L. dudu. neolymira subsp. nov., a melanotic form, with greatly reduced white 
bands, and on the under surface very prominent black spots. Sula Mangoli, type in the British Museum. 1 
$ also in the Tring Museum. 
L. libnites Hew. (122 d). The difference between the sexes is well shown in our figures. So far only 
known to occur in Celebes, but an appreciable difference between the specimens found at Toli-Toli and those 
at the Falls of Maros does not seem to exist. Under surface marked with alternate bands of lighter and darker 
brown and whitish stripes. $ has on the hindwing the black median spots less distinct and the area around 
them brown-yellow. 
L. lysanias was by Moore separated from Limenitis and placed into a Genus “Tarattia”, because 
the lower discocellular joins the median vein at the origin of the second median nervule. and the discocellular 
curves outward only in its upper portion. This, however, appears to me to be only a case of aberration, and rather 
confirms me in my belief that in the Limenitidi the course of the discocellular is of small or no value for their 
distinction, lysanias Hew. (122 e) represents a transition from the Moduza group to the true Limenitis. The 
specimens in my collection from Minahassa and Toli-Toli show a great similarity between the sexes. The sou¬ 
thern form which He wit son had received from Wallace, and which I collected in March on the Peak of Bonthain 
at about 3000 ft. of altitude, has on the hindwing the brown-yellow median band somewhat paler and the co¬ 
louring of the under surface more faded and chiefly whitish. — karschi Fruhst. $ distinguished from that 
of lysanias Hew. of Celebes by having on the forewing I lie median band brokc-n up into separate white'spots, 
on the hindwing the white median band greatly reduced, and on both wings the red-brown postmedian bands 
correspondingly broader and very pronounced. Under surface darker with more prominent and extensive brown 
areas, clearly displaying the melanotic character of a satellite insular form. Sula Mangoli; type in Staudinger’s 
collection. 
L. staudingeri Ribbe, hitherto only found in Ceram, of unusually large size, distinguished from all the 
other species of the Moduza group by having the white median band continuing to the costa, as in Euihalia 
dudu (130 d). Beneath greenish-blue, hindwing with the white median band bordered with brown, and with 
large, roundish, black patches surrounded by whitish-blue. 
39. Genus: l*andita Moore. 
This group which comprises only two species, differs in morphological respect but slightly from Lime¬ 
nitis. The third subcostal nervule has its origin quite close to the fourth, almost at the apex of the wing; on the 
forewing the discal cell is closed by a fine undulate discocellular, which joins the median vein precisely at the 
origin of the second nervule; its upper portion is, as in L. lysanias, slightly pushed outward, differing thereby
