ERIBOEA. By H. Frtjhstorfer. 
stratiocus. common. $ very scarce; I found in the course of years only 4 — 5 specimens. — stratiocus subsp. nov. 
inhabits the island of Lombok from the shore to an elevation of about 2500 ft. Also here it is not diffi¬ 
cult to recognize the influence of the seasons, in as much as the of the dry season approach fruhstorferi, 
those of the wet season attains. But both surpass in size their Javanese cousins and also in the greater 
width of the preapical spots, the transcellular one being always divided. On the hindwings the submarginal 
stripes larger than in attains, although barely half as wide as in sumbaensis Stvinh. The islands of Sumba, 
sumbaensis. Flores, Adonares and Pantar are inhabited by a rather homogeneous race, sumbaensis Swinh., easily recogni- 
seable, particularly the §, by the unusually large yellowish-green submarginal spots and the broad red-brown 
border of the hindwings. $$ from Alor, contained in my collection, are hard to separate from those of Sumba, 
menaius. whereas menaius subsp. nov. of Sumbawa is a transition from stratiocus to typical sumbaensis. larger than 
alphius. Sumba d 1 ?, but with the preapical spot on the forewings smaller. — alphius Stgr. has the transcellular yellow 
spots on the forewings likewise divided, otherwise resembling small specimens of fruhstorferi. The discal band 
on the upper surface more intensely yellow-green throughout than in the allied forms. Hindwings with small 
oitylus. dots, but with distinct, brown terminal margin, as in sumbaensis. Timor, Alu. — oitylus subsp. nov., not 
scarce on the island of Wetter, rather smaller than alphius, upper surface with the median bands paler green, 
palatvani- the brown border of the hindwings less distinct. — palawardcus R. a. J . closely follows uraeus R. a. J . of Borneo, 
cms. differing from it in the more distinct apical spot on the forewings and the more prominent white sub¬ 
marginal lunules on the hindwings. The discal band on the under surface paler and rather yellow than blue- 
acutus. green. Island of Palawan. — aeutus I', a. J. is distinguished by the very long and narrow hindwings and more 
pointed tails; median area of the hindwings narrower than in palawanicus. Type from Mindanao; also from 
Mindoro; specimens also from Luzon in my collection, and Semper reports it from Bohol and Sarangani. — 
A closely allied, but probably very large form was discovered by Dr. Piepers at Bonthain in southern Celebes. 
E. arja is an exclusively continental species of pronounced seasonal Dimorphism, distinguished from 
E. athamas by the peculiar pale greenish white discal blotches on the upper surface. LTnderneath the black 
submarginal striae are surrounded by a broader, pale greyish-white shade. The transcellular spot on the fore- 
vernus. wings always larger. — vernus R. a. J. (134 a) refers to the extreme dry-season form, in which the pale colou- 
rocberi. ring prevails, whereas roeberi Fruhst. (134 a) designates the larger-sized, extreme rainy-season form with broadly 
arja. black border. — arja Fldr., the commonest (intermediate) form, with the median area broader than in roeberi. 
The latter I only know from Assam, whereas vernus and arja are found from Sikkim to Tenasserim. May till 
October, according to Niceville throughout the year in the hot valleys. I myself took several specimens 
at Chiem-Hoa (Tonkin) in August. Recently I also saw some small-sizecl specimens from Petjaburi (Siam). 
E. moori is one of those Macromalay species which, besides in the Larger Sunda Islands, also occur 
in the Malay Peninsula, whence they have advanced as far as Burmah where they may be occasionally 
sandakanus. met with as great rarities. The name of sandakanus Fruhst. which was given to the Assam and Burmah form, 
was unfortunately chosen in consequence of a mistake as to the locality made by a dealer who sold to me 
specimens from Assam as coming from Borneo. Characterized by the very regular black bordering of the upper 
side of the hindwings, whereas the other moori forms have the band on the hindwings much broader costally, 
frequently interrupted in the middle and only again more or less distinctly appearing close to the tails, sanda- 
marginalis. kanus is presumably the dry-season form, whereas marginalis R. a. J. refers to the smaller-sized specimens 
of the wet-season, differing in the less pronounced white scaling of the cell in the forewings. Naga-Hills, 
moori. Khasia Hills (Burmah), presumably also Tonkin. One $ is said to have been taken in Sikkim. — moori 
Dist. (134b) inhabits the Malay Peninsula, Singapore and the lowlands of Sumatra. We figure the under sur¬ 
face which is distinguished from E. hebe, by the extraordinarily broad, pale green median band. Above it differs 
from all the forms of hebe in having the black border of the hindwings constricted in the median region, and ac¬ 
companied between the upper radial and the first tail by a green or yellowish, distally black margined terminal 
khaba. line or band. — khaba Kheil, from the island of Nias, has the black spots on the distal border of the whitish- 
green median area of the hindwings underneath more marked and contiguous. $ somewhat like hebe $ (134 b), 
but with the preapical sjDot on the forewing larger and on the hindwings the lunules filled with white and 
javanus. larger. Moreover the yellowish median area broader distally. Very scarce. — javanus Rob. is closely allied 
to moori moori, but may possibly be separated on account of its smaller size and the more intensely yellow 
colour of the median band on the upper surface of the hindwings. Enormously scarce, only one $ being 
known, from Java, collected by me at Palabuan on the south-coast, and near Sukabumi in West Java at an 
chalazias. elevation of about 2000—2500 ft. — clialazias subsp. nov. is of much smaller size, but has the black distal border wi¬ 
der, the preapical spot on the forewing smaller, in proportion to the lesser size of the species. From the island of
