Of palawanicus Fruhst. (115c as palavensis) I possess 2 forms of the our figure represents a brown palawani- 
form resembling Eupl. butra, with the white marginal spots obsolete; the other, avara form, nov., largely cream- f ( ^ 
coloured, upper surface with a network of brown markings. SS according to Staltdixger analogous to 
halitherses Dbl. S, but with the white costal spots reduced on the forewings. Island of Palawan; January. -

transferred to the Mindanao and Camiguin de Mindanao form, causing thereby much confusion. with the pale 
markings of the upper surface smaller than in typical halitherses from Sikkim; the middle macular band at the 
costa farther apart from the distal one. On the hindwings not only the outer rows of dots, but also the intra¬ 
nerval spots larger than in Sikkim <$<$. Ground-colour a deep steel-green, with the white markings less greenish- 
yellow than in halitherses. Of the 9 Felder knew an interesting form mimicking Euploea tobleri Semp., also 
resembling somewhat Elymnias rnelias Fldr. Forewing with 2 rows of white interlaced streaks. — nysia Semp. nysia. 
is a form from Bohol, according toSEMPER’s figure (Schmett. d. Philippinen, pi. 15, f. 11—12), with brow¬ 
nish-yellow patches above, similar to those of the form of Mindanao and Camiguin de Mindanao. The corre¬ 
sponding $ differs from clytia in having the subapical spot more frayed out, but the white discal spots on the 
forewings increased. — arestheion subsp. nov. refers to the Mindoro form the 99 of which are distinguished arestheion. 
by unusually brillant colouring; one of them, however, is uniformly brown above, without any traces of white 
submarginal spots. Others have on the forewings white spots in the cell, the median and submarginal areas, 
and the hindwings nearly entirely white, faintly suffused with blue. — lucasioides Semp., first used by its lucasioides.

type of which came from Camiguin de Mindanao. $ flies in March and April; resembles palawanicus $ (115 c), 
but with the white blotches on the hindwings separated and more conspicuous. — As semperi form. nov. I semperi

varieties, being at the same time the largest in size; Semper figured the $ erroneously as clythia Fldr. Of the 
$ he knew the brown form, resembling Eupl. lucasi, with large, streak-like submarginal spots on the hindwings. 
Besides these I saw in the Statjdinger collection 99 with white subapical bands on the forewings, others 
with blue transverse bands (="coelestina form. nov.).

E. robustus takes the place of habitherses in Celebes, whence we know two local forms: robustus Wall, robustus. 
(= holofermes Stgr.) (115 c), distinguished by its large size, the nearly black forewings and the hindwings mar¬ 
ked as in halitherses. $ easily recognized by the nearly square outline of the wings. Ground-colour pale coffee- 
brown, forewing with 4 square white spots in cell, hindwing with a similar large subbasal blotch; both upper and 
under surfaces with whitish-grey terminal dots arranged in pairs. Minahassa, North Celebes. — myrinoides myrinoides. 
Fruhst. Ground-colour paler than in 9? from the North, with faint violet iridescence of the upper surface, 
marked somewhat like Cethosia myrina. From the neighbourhood of the Falls of Maros. Very scarce. 
E. consimilis is distinguished by the most highly developed sexual Heteromorphism, in which it even 
surpasses halitherses . Of all three local races the SS are distinguished by the lovely crimson blotches at the 
anal angle of the hindwings to which is added on the underside of the hindwings an equally intense crimson 
basal spot. The 9$ do not have this red anal ornament, but retain the basal spot on the underside of the 
secondaries. They show in general the same modifications of halitherses 9, but the colouring inclines rather to 
whitish or yellowish. — Larva on Trema orientalis, an Urticaea, described in the general diagnosis. The eggs 
are deposited on the upper side of the leaves or close to the apex underneath. When hatched the young 
caterpillars partly eat the eggshells, after which they spin on the upper surface of the leaves a sort of nest. Later 
it sits on the middle rib of the leaf which it coveres with a fine silk web, above which it spins a sort of net 
which covers the entire larva, even its horns being invisible. -— consimilis Westw. (114 d), from the North- consimilis.

than in eurinus $ (115 c). Of the 9 only two forms have been described: One clear white (114 d), the other of 
ivory colour; the former may display a more or less intense milky lustre. Only a few specimens were captured 
in each locality as f. i. at Dehra-Dun, Masuri, Kumaon Himalaya, Nepal, the Terai (Sikkim), mentioned by
