TANAECIA. By H. Fruhstorfer. 
done. T. done Nicev. (131 d), an alpine form first discovered on tlie Battak Mountains of North-Eastern 
Sumatra; 1 $ from Padang Bovenland in the west of the island in my possession. Under surface smoky- 
brown, forewings with violet marginal area, hindwings completely suffused with violet. The $ lacks on the 
forewing the violet border, and the hindwings are only in the median area thinly dusted with grey. 
Forewing of $ also paler brown. Hindwings in either sex marked with black streaks and undulate lines 
in the basal, median and submarginal areas. 
aiiii.su. T. amisa 8m. (L31 e) is, like the preceding, a highly specialized form, with very plain markings of the 
upper surface; in the $ the white band of the hindwings widens out distally and the black roundish sub¬ 
marginal spots show through more distinctly. Under surface : Apical portion of forewings pale brown with black 
intranerval spots. Base grey-brown. Hindwing of dusted with whitish-grey distally as well a basally, whe¬ 
reas in $ the outer area of both Avings is of an uniform darker brown than in Kina-Balu (North Borneo), 
ca. 3800 ft. 
Of T. calliphorus, one of the most lovely coloured species of the Genus, we know two insular forms: 
smarugdi- sntaragdifera subsp. nov. (131 e as calliphorus), of a duller hue than calliphorus, ground-colour paler brown, the 
/era. ra ther grass-green band of the forewings but slightly, the emerald-green band of the hindwings considerably 
narrower. Beneath pale grass-green throughout, clouded with blue-green and black-brown. Locality unknown, 
calliphorus. presumably Mindoro. — calliphorus Flrlr. Forewing with a green band at the periphery suffused with a 
golden lustre; on the hindwing the band brillant blue, shading into green toward the anal area. Under surface 
as in smaragdifera, but with black instead of brown submarginal spots. February till November; type from Luzon; 
also Babuyanes and Pollilo. 
T. leucotaenia which replaces the preceding species in the Central and southern Philippines, is probably 
only a subspecies of the same, although I refrain from uniting them here, not having compared their sexual 
organs. The under surface is shown in our figure of dinorah (131 d); upper surface of hindwing either with 
a broad or with a greatly reduced white postdiscal band, disappearing completely in specimens from the southern- 
leucotanda. most islands, leucotaenia Semp. Hindwing with a clear white transcellular band not margined with blue 
distally. Forewings beneath brown with greenish apex; hindwing as in dinorah, but with more conspicuous 
spots of black-brown. Camotes, according to Semper also Leyte, Panaon and Bohol. May till August, and 
aquumariiut. October till March. — aquaniarina subsp. nov. differs from Semper’s type in the wide aquamarine-blue band 
dinorah. distally accompanying the white postdiscal area of the hindwing. Mindanao. —■ dinorah Fruhst. (131 d). 
Upper surface of hindwing without any white and blue bands, having in their place a zone of pale grey- 
brown. beneath dusted with chalky greenish-white, $ with pale brown. Island of Bazilan, February, 
lupina. March, discovered by W. Doherty. — lupina Druce resembles dinorah, but is somewhat darker brown above. 
Forewing with white apical spots, which are not found in dinorah. Sulu (Jolo) Archipelago. 
T. trigerta resembles above cibaritis, but on the forewing the white band widens and divides costally, 
as seen in our figure of singoradja (131 d). Beneath it varies according to the locality; base of forewings brown- 
yellow, hindwing with blue suffusion over the inner half. Specimens from western Java with distinct black 
spots accompanying the whitish median area; these never occur in from farther East. Hitherto only 
trigerta. known from Java and Bali. — trigerta Moore, an attractive butterfly of deep brown ground-colour, 
and with delicate, distally white-margined serrate rows accompanying the white median band distally. On the 
forewing the white area varies, often disappearing entirely, at other times being clouded with brown costally. 
o : Under surface of hindwings always with black dentate spots, which occasionally lack in $. Also the intensity 
of the brown-yellow shading of the forewings varies. West Java, on the Bay of Palabuan and the Djampangs 
dandapani. near Sukabumi, common everywhere up to 2000 ft. of altitude. — dandapani subsp. nov. has the white longi¬ 
tudinal bands of both wings wider, the ground-colour paler brown and on the under surface more faded. Eastern 
Java, in the Zuidergebergde, south of Malang, from the shore up to about 1600 ft. Common, particularly to- 
singoradja. wards the end of the rainy-season, March and April. — singoradja Fruhst. (131 d) is the reverse of dandapani, 
of larger size, with more pronounced satellite insular character. Forewings somewhat more elongate than in 
trigerta, with very pale median band, and a series of indistinct pale markings extending from the inner angle 
to about the second median nervule. Hindwing with narrower, more sharply incurved discal band. The fore¬ 
wings differ underneath from trigerta in the dark brown outer margin, and the much more sharply dentate median 
band which is broader and edged with a darker tint than in trigerta . The hindwings have the basal half 
dark brown, the discal band narrow, slightly margined with brown proximally, and the outer border dark. 
Antennae black above, beneath brown with a black ring before the tip. Expanse: 1,6". Island of Bali, Oc¬ 
tober. Tegumen with uncus as in T. pelea, but slightly stouter. Valve slender, not so sharply pointed distally 
as in T. pelea stygia.ua. 
T. pelea is exceedingly sensitive toward climatic influences. The white markings are clearly seen in 
our figure of vilcrama (133 b). On the forewing the grey-white band is deeply cut up distally by broad sagittate
