EUTHALIA. By H. Fruhstorfer. 
conspicuous in the anterior half but fading away towards the anal angle. Antennae above black, the club 
brown-red beneath, the other segments ringed with white. Palpi black-brown above, paler underneath. Eyes 
brown. Body on both sides like the ground-colour. The 9$ are much larger than the with the ground¬ 
colour paler, and on the hindwings the bands more grey-violet; but they are more polychrome than the ES, 
having in addition the inner half of the forewings speckled with red-brown, and on the hindwing a brown-red 
submarginal band. Under surface paler, the white spots more dull and the violet dots on the hindwings barely 
phasiana. indicated. Like the ground-colour also palpi and legs are paler. — phasiana Btlr. (= meridionalis Fruhst.) 
(127 d) is smaller than the northern form aeetes. nearly always without the violet band of the hindwings, 
or only with traces of it. Of the $ the Fruhstorfer collection contains 4 different forms: a) one d'-like, 
much smaller than aeetes with whitish apical and submarginal bands; hindwings uniformly deep black- 
genctta. brown, with only two rows of obsolete, small grey spots. (January 1896, Patunuang.) b) genetta form. nov. 
resembles in the fore wing the just mentioned 9, but has the submarginal spots larger, yellow, and the base as 
well as the inner median area speckled with yellowish. On the hindwing a green-yellowish band, distally accom¬ 
panied by a row of 7 far apart orange spots. Around the cell 3 large orange patches. Also beneath it resem¬ 
bles the (J-like 9> but is rather paler, with clearer white spots and on the hindwing a distinct reddish- 
brown border, not unsimilar to that of Adolias satrapes Fldr. and trapesa Semp. Antennae black, tipped 
ignifera. with red. (Flies in November.) c) ignifera form. nov. is analogous to the northern ignita-Q, but smaller, with 
the orange spots and bands reduced. Undersurface brownish, profusely suffused with orange, with the orange spots 
of the upper surface showing through. Antennae black, club broadly red-brown beneath. Patunuang, January. 
tyrtaeus. d) tyrtaeus Stgr. is chiefly characterized by 3 elongate spots at the costa behind the middle of the forewing, 
forming a sort of semi-band, below which 3 other very large spots extend to the inner margin. On the hind¬ 
wing the second, submarginal macular row has developed into a broad yellow band only intersected by 
the veins. The band preceding it consists of very large spots, whereas of the 4 basal ones only the two 
placed in the cell are distinct, although smaller. Under surface brown, with larger, obsolete spots. The 
of phasiana preferred like aeetes resting on the stones near the ground, whereas the yellow 99> frightened by my 
coming, would chase like mad through the undergrowth of the forest skirting the Patanuang River, and 
were most difficult to catch. South Celebes; found by Doherty also at the Falls of Maros and near Tanette. 
rubellio. — rubellio Fruhst. from the island of Bangkei to the East of Celebes (not to be confounded with Banguey or 
Bangoei between Borneo and Palawan), approaches, like most Lepidoptera of East Celebes, most closely the 
form from the South of the island; it is somewhat larger, paler brown than phasiana, but with the same 
markings of the forewing. The principal difference is in the hindwings which are quite uniformly brown, with 
only a submarginal row of 7 elongate, narrow rufous dots. Antennae quite black, without the red club of 
phasiana. A closely allied form from Tombugu, East Celebes, in the Roeber collection. Island of Bangkei 
or Banggai. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
E. danialis, a highly specialized form, is confined to the Northern and Central Philippines. The sexes 
are monomorphic, superficially resembling Pap. castor Westw. Forewings pointed, narrow, hindwings rounded. 
Ground-colour brown, on both wings with yellow anteterminal spots; on the hindwing a submarginal band com¬ 
posed of quadrate patches; all of these markings recur also on the under surface, being augmented on the 
damalis, fore wings by a white semi-band and a few irregular white dots in the ceil. — danialis Er. is found in Luzon, 
according to Semper also in the Babuyanes, where it flies throughout the year, but locally and scarce. The 
galoa. 9? have occasionally also above on the forewings a rudimentary white band. — galoa subsp. nov. differs from 
damalis in having the yellow inner band of the hindwings much narrower. Mindoro, type in the British Museum. 
E. cyanipardus, the largest of all the species of Adolias as well as of all the Euthaliidi, is distinguished 
by the blue and white-dotted 9, the dark green under surface, the long, quite black antennae and the dark 
palpi. It must be a beautiful spectacle to observe and chase these gigantic, gaudily coloured butterflies, but 
we have hitherto only very scant notes on their occurrence. Sexual organs very much like those of dirtea F., 
but stouter, uncus thicker basally, valve slightly more slender, distinctly curved distally, uncus with a lielmet- 
cijanipar - shaped crest. 5 local forms are known: cyanipardus Btlr. (127 c E) is, like khasiana, very constant. Fore wing 
dus. with large white dot before the apex, and a narrow, irregular, dark green submarginal band. On the hindwing 
the submarginal band tapers gradually from costa to anal angle, being intersected by the black veins. The costal 
spot is quite isolated, either enclosing a minute dot, or being cut into by a thin black streak. The remai-
