are smaller than in whiteheadi. One from Padang has on the hindwing beneath almost no red, another 
$ from the Battak Plateau has it darker throughout, with brillant red markings. $ appears from a specimen 
taken by Dr. Martin in the Battak Mountains to greatly resemble culminicola $ (131 a), but is of larger size, 
with broader white median spots on the forewings, and greatly reduced red spots on the hind wings, mariae is 
very scarce in Sumatra; type from the Battak Plateau. It is not impossible that in the low-lands there exist 
$$ approaching more closely chersonesia, rajana and the continental indica, since Dr. Hagen reports having 
taken two specimens in his fruit-orchard at Labuan, but that the species was more abundant on the Plateau 
whence his Malay collectors brought him about one dozen of specimens. — adinda subsp. nov. refers to a $ arlinda. 
in the Adams collection discovered by Van De Polls. It is without doubt one of the most beautiful of all 
the Euthaliidi. $ about one third larger than culminicola or mariae almost approaching in size our figure of i 
of lubentina (131 e) from Tonkin. The entire upper surface suffused with an intense lustre of gold. Forewing 
resembles that of indica in the two white parallel submedian stripes. Hindwing pale brown with large white- 
grey median spots. Island of Nias. — culminicola Fruhst. (131 a) differs from all the preceding forms of lubentina culminicola. 
in the more luxuriant red markings of the upper surface of the hindwings which are in addition paler and bordered 
with a more brillant green than $ of mariae or whiteheadi. The $ has as a rule the white intramedian spot 
on the forewing narrower than is shown in our figure, usually only one half as wide. From the allied forms 
culminicola differs in the increased red markings of the hindwings above. Very scrrce, never at altitudes of less 
than 3800 ft., in the Tengger Mountains (East Java) as well on the Vulcano Gede in Western Java. — white- whiteheadi. 
headi 8m. has the ground-colour darker than in the Java form, the hindwing with a brillant lustre of steel-blue 
in the costal area. The dark green anal margin encloses somewhat smaller black spots; the primaries have the 
anteterminal band mostly blue-green, only in one <J pale bronee-green, faintly suffused proximally with green. 
On the under side of the hindwings the anal margin is as in mariae not bordered with red. $ differs from cul¬ 
minicola $ in having the white subapical spots on the forewings and the red spots on the upper surface of the 
hindwings reduced. Kina Balu, scarce. ■ — adeona 8m. refers to a $ form from the lower plains approaching adcona. 
chersonesia Fruhst. The white macular row on the forewing is steeper than in culminicola, mariae and whiteheadi , 
having the last spot on the submedian placed nearer the base and very large. Type from Silam, North Borneo. 
Some specimens sent to me by Mr. Shelford from Kuching and Mount Batang in Sarawak seem to be the 
$ of adeona ; having the under surface somewhat paler than the alpine form whiteheady, the red spots more 
faded; the anal margin rather grey instead of blue-green. — adeonides Fruhst. is the form from the alluvial adconidcs. 
plains of South-Eastern Borneo, distinguished by the diminished white spotting of the forewings, the sub¬ 
median patch being almost obsolete; also the red markings of the hindwings are greatly reduced. — philip-pfa/ippercsis. 
pensis Fruhst. closely approaches ivhitelieadi, differing from it in the smaller size and the paler green colouring 
of the dJ hindwing with smaller red median and anteterminal spots. Forewing with only a comma-shaped 
white cellular streak and only 2 instead of 3 striae beyond the cell. Under surface with a complete series of 
red median dots reaching, as in the continental lubentina, the submedian, whereas in the Macromalayan forms 
it ceases in the centre of the wing. Also the strongly curved row of white submarginal spots on the forewing is 
very distinct, clearer white than even in E. indica Fruhst. Type from Bazilan, February and March. — nadenya nadenya. 
subsp. nov. inhabits the Northern Philippines. <§(§ according to Semper contrast with philippensis Fruhst. 
in the red cellular spots on the forewing. One $ from Luzon in the Berlin Museum differs from South Indian 
lubentina $$ in the diminished white median spots of the forewings, having only one white dot left below the 
submedian at the anal angle; also the upper apical white dots are much smaller. Of the inner row of red dots 
on the hindwings there are only two left, and the black submarginal spots are more obsolete. On the under surface, 
however, the hindwings have all the red markings more intense, those in the cell larger, in the median area smal¬ 
ler; the costal border more broadly red. The apex of the forewing is marked only with a faint trace of brown, 
otherwise shaded with blue-green. Very scarce, Semper obtaining within many years only 1 $ from Luzon and 
several others from Mindanao; the latter most likely belong to the more southern philippensis. May 
till November. 
E. djata is likewise a very rare species of the northernmost part of Borneo and Palawan; probably the 
adjacent islands are inhabited by separate forms, $ above without any white dots or striae, the red markings 
of the hindwing almost disappearing. $ approaches the adeona type, but with vertical median band. Hindw ing 
shaded grey, with very pale red median spots. On the whole the ground-colour is more faded than in lubentina. 
3$ underneath without white cellular striae; hindwing almost completely clouded with blue-grey. — djata djata. 
Dist. unknown to me in natura, originally described from Sanclakan. According to Distant's description it 
varies from lubentina in the following respects: $ smaller, darker; forewings above without any red cellular
