HERONA. By H. Fruhstorfer. 
specimens are smaller than our figures which are based on the wet season form. In Sikkim they occur at 
altitudes of from 3—4000 ft., where they are frequently met with on overripe fruit. Also at Bhamo and Fort 
angustata. Stedman in Burma marathus has been observed. But in Tenasserim we find angustata Moore which appears 
andamana. on account, of the narrower and yellowish-white bands to be a transition to ar.damana Moore (116 b) in which 
the transverse bands are completely white. In Tonkin we find, curiously enough, again a form resembling 
marathon, marathus (= marathon Fruhst.), but easily recognized by the broader orange-yellow bands with a correspon¬ 
ding reduction of the black spots (rainy season), especially on the hindwings; here the black subanal spot is 
very broad and quite isolated, as is also the black distal spot, whereas in marathus it confluesces with the 
black distal border. Also the $ deviates considerably from those of Cachar, Sikkim and Assam, being 
coloured exactly as the whereas $$ from India proper are whitish-yellow (dimorphic). Under surface, 
especially of forewings, paler than in marathus. with the whitish-violet bands greatly reduced and replaced by 
yellowish-brown. The species is new for Tonkin and Siam. Flies in June, July and January. Pavie also 
captured it in the Laos States. 
sumatrana. H. suiliatrana takes the place of marathus in the Macromalayan Islands. Its flight resembles that 
of an Euthalia; it may be attracted by sweet banana-bait, sumatrana Moore resembles the figured schonbergi 
(116 b), differing only in having the whitish portions of the hindwings suffused with an intense violet tinge. 
A rare species, Dr. Martin capturing by the help of a number of natives only about 5—7 specimens in each 
schonbergi. year. I possess a $ from the Padang Bovenlanden. — schonbergi Stgr. (116 b) I only know from southeast 
pringon- Borneo. — pringondani Fruhst. (116 c). <§ forewings light coffee-brown, with 2 white spots before the apex, 
dam. an q a q roac p strongly excavated band of white reaching from the costa at the middle to the inner margin, 
displaying a pale violet iridescence between 3. and 1. median, and enclosing between 3. median and submedian 2 
brownish spots. Termen deeply incurved near the lower radial, farther on undulate. Inner margin covered with 
fine yellowish hair to the middle of the wing. Underside straw-yellow, with bluish-white apex, a brownish 
terminal band and 3 oblique, brown, irregular bands in the cell, the outer of which reaches the inner mar¬ 
gin. The spots in the snbapical band are as above, more distinct than on the inner area. Hindwings strongly 
excavated, pale coffee-brown, covered with long brownish hair at base and inner margin. A rather broad 
blackish-fuscous terminal band marked in the upper half with 4 white lunules, almost obliterated in some spe¬ 
cimens. A broad white submarginal band interrupted between costa and upper median by a dark brown 
zigzag band and another band arising near the termen at the first median and terminating at the anal angle. 
Within the white submarginal band, between subcostal and lower radial, an oblique, yellowish, triangular spot. 
Underside of hindwings suffused with whitish and violet, with a yellowish-brown terminal band tapering 
towards the anal margin, a brown, very irregular discal stripe from costa to submedian, and a brown band at 
the base of the upper radial. Inner margin clothed with white hah’. Body and abdomen above with brown, be¬ 
neath with white hair. Outer half of wings yellowish brown, inner half whitish. Antennae blackish-fuscous above, 
paler beneath, the clubs black all around, tipped with rufous. 69—73 mm. Type from East Java, at an alti¬ 
tude of about 1600 ft.; more scarce in the western part of the island, where I observed them only in the 
forests skirting the Bay of Palabuan; they were attracted by hung-up bananas, but could only be captured 
by exercising the utmost care. Doherty found them also in Bali. 
djarang. H. djarang Fruhst. (116 b) is nearest to H . ; pringondani Fruhst. with which it agrees in size and the brown 
ground-colour, but from which it differs in the stouter wings, the less excavated apex and more rounded hind¬ 
wings. On the forewings the snbapical band much broader, the submarginal band of the hindwings narrower 
than in 'pringondani, with a brown spot in the white area between lower median and submedian. On the hind¬ 
wing the narrow submarginal band only extends to the upper median, continuing thence to the anal angle in 
the shape of a fine line which is rather more distinct in £. Under surface darker than in pringondani, with the 
bands of the upper side more distinctly showing through, the whitish apex and the marginal intraradial spot 
absent. Termen of both wings with white fringe, but lacking the silky hair at the submedian. $ differs from 
o only in size and the broader markings; palpi white instead of brownish. Body and antennae as in pringon¬ 
dani. $ 58, $ 70 mm. Nias, very scarce, only 4—5 specimens known, (1 pair in Frithstorfer’s, another in the 
Adams collection of the British Museum).
