GALINA GA. By H. Frtjhstoreer. 
namct. H. nama, a common species, subject to climatic and geographical variation. — Of nania Dbl. (Vol. I, 
p. 193, pi. 60 a) we know a dry-season form with red-brown, and a wet-season form with black-brown border, 
both being connected by intermediate forms. Assam specimens are larger than those from Sikkim and Bhotan; 
Tonkin $$ (116 d) paler, with narrower brown border. In Hainan we find a comparatively small-sized race 
resembling a dry-season form, melanina Oberth. (Vol. I, p. 193) was based on a melanotic aberration. Flies 
throughout the year and is mostly very common, nama is one of the most perfect mimicks. Examining it 
in a collection and comparing it with Danaids, the similarity does not appear so great; but if on the wing, 
it is quite impossible for the human eye to distinguish it. Although I had been fooled innumerable times, 
I always believed, while in Tonkin, to have caught a Danais tytia or melaneus, only to find, on opening the 
net, that it was a nama. Occasionally it visits wet riverbanks, alighting on the sand Avith closed wings. Also 
in this case they bear such a deceptive resemblance to Danaids that I ever believed to see a Danais \Adiich, 
namida. curious enough, was pretty scarce in this part of Tonkin. — namida Fruhst. (116 d) has on the forewing the 
costal border more broadly black; all the white strigae and spots, particularly on the hind wings, narrower, smaller 
and broader; hindwings much more pointed than in nama, and more richly bordered with red. Underneath 
the apical area of the forewings is brown-black instead of reddish. Hindwing broadly bordered Avith broAvn, 
with a submarginal i’oav of prominent Avhite dots. The Avhite submarginal lunules more flat, narrower, but 
clearer Avhite than in nama. From North-East- and West-Sumatra, only on the high plateau, and very scarce. 
ruvanella. — ruvarsella subsp. nov. from Perak stands midway betAveen nama and namida; the hindwings AA'ith faint black 
sub marginal intranerval spots, entirely lacking in namida. Distant figures the costal border of the under sur¬ 
face of the foreAvings yellowish instead of brown-black, and the hindAvings profusely red like in typical nama. 
H. mimetica Btlr. inhabits Sumatra and Java, and may also be expected from the Malay Peninsula. 
carolinae. mimetica might be taken to be the Macromalayan form II. nama, if its form carolinae Snell. (116 d) did not oc¬ 
cur on the higher mountains of Sumatra side by side with namida Fruhst. The $ is hardly to be distingui¬ 
shed from the figured only by the more rounded wings and larger size. About its habits reports Dr. Hagen, 
that it is extraordinarily shy; generally flying pretty sloivly, it becomes frightened by the least disturbance, 
when it darts a\A ? ay like an arrow so that one may hardly follow it Avith one’s eyes; it never flies very far, 
but settles down on some bush, observing, liOAvever, everything so carefully that all attempts to approach 
mimetica. are futile. — mimetica Btlr. from East- and West-Java (2000—3800 ft.) has the hindwings more broadly 
bordered with black-brown. A mimetic form, resembling Danais larissa Fldr. and D. pseudomelaneus Moore. 
namoidcs. H. fiamoides Nicev. (Vol. 1, p. 195) enters the Indo-Australian Region at Tseku, Yunnan. 
divona. H. divona Hew. (115 b), a very rare species, has been described as Diadema , Hypolimnas and Euripus, 
until in 1909 I could prove its relationship with Hestina. Above banded with yellowish, resembling Danaida 
menadensis Moore and D. cleona jusciplena Fruhst.', hindwings underneath with long brown-black intranerval 
arrows, standing out from the paler border. Hitherto only mentioned from Minahassa. $ with yell OAvish-white 
median area of the forewing above. 
H. assimilis forms a group by itself, the second subcostal nervure arising beyond instead of at the 
assimilis. end of cell as in nama', tivo local forms are known: -—■ assimilis L. (Vol. I, p. 193, pi. 60 a), appearing in 
spring, may, according to Walker, occasionally be observed at Hongkong and Kowlung (Canton) as early 
as in the beginning of April. Although a rapid flier, preferring the hill-tops, it is not at all shy. Walker 
jormosana. says that it is not scarce in the Chusan Archipelago, at elevations of from 1200-—-1600 ft. -—- formosana Moore 
(115 b) clearly displays by its inferior size, the broadly black veins and reduced red spots of the hindAving its 
insular character. Formosa; $$ occur up to about 4500 ft.; not scarce. $ still unknown. 
54. Genus: Moore. (Vol. I, p. 193; Vol. IX, p. 433). 
This genus was placed by me, following Dr. Schatz, next to Penthema', but an examination of the 
clasping organs showed it to belong more naturally to the Apaturidi. Uncus hook-shaped, rather shorter than the 
valve; the latter apaturoid throughout, also Avith the lobe-shaped projection, but slightly more rounded distally. 
From the Apaturids it may be distinguished by the shorter penis and saccus. In 1899 J. H. Watson Avrote a 
monography of the genus, a short account of which may here be given as folloAVs:
