Additions to the Nymphalidae. By H. Frijhstorfer. 
the basal zone of both wings light blue instead of greenish-yellow. Kumusi River, Collingwood Bay in British 
North Guinea. Common. A larger number in my collection. 
cynailurus. P. 647. Parthenos tigrina cynailurus suibsp. nov. (Cynailurus, the cheetah or hunting-leopard) is the 
easternmost subspecies of them and differs above only insignificantly from P. tigrina Voll. from the Wandesi 
Bay and the Etna Bay. The hyaline spots, however, are of a purer white, the last spot of the discal row 
between the middle and posterior median without the reddish hue. Under surface lighter, preponderantly 
yellowish instead of greenish. Aroa River. A similar form also on the Eilanden River in Dutch New Guinea. 
Candida. P. 648. Abrota pratti formosana $-forma Candida Wilem. exhibits whitish spots on the upper surface 
of the forewings, instead of the normal yellowish spots. 
gustavi. P. 678. Euthalia irrubescens gustavi Fruhst. $ smaller than E. irrubescens Sm., on both surfaces much 
darker, the red spots more intense and more reduced than in the nomenclatural form from the Omeishan in 
West China. Formosa. Type, 1 in the Coll, von Plessen, Munich. 
attcnuata. P. 679. Euthalia franciae attenuata Tyfl. was based upon a dark areal form of the Naga Hills where 
it is not rare from August to October at elevations from 5 to 6000 ft. The whitish median bands are narrower 
than in Sikkim-specimens. 
agosthena. P. 688. Adolias dirtea agosthena Fruhst. $ the most closely allied to A. dirtea javana Fruhst. (127 a, c) 
9, in size, however, inferior to the Javanese race. By the greatly expanded yellowish-white transcellular spots 
of the forewings the Cochinchina-form deviates from javana as well as from all the other Macromalayan dirtea- 
races and approximates lchasiana Swinh., but without assuming the colouring resembling more cyanipardus 
(127 c). agosthena quite naturally exhibits the closest affinities to nephritica Fruhst. from Tenasserim, and it is 
most interesting to notice how in some §9 from that district the anterior spots of the median macular series 
of the forewings begin to brighten up, at first only in the 9$ of the dry period, and how then the whitish 
discoloration increases in the 9$ of the rainless period from Siam and begins to predominate gradually on 
the way towards east, so that 99 °f the rainy period from Central Annam also show light spots of the fore¬ 
wings, the progression of the albinotic tendency reaching its zenith in agosthena from Cocliinchina. 9 Hvoig 
time September, end of the Monsun period. Type in the Museum of Geneva. 
exarchus. P. 693. Adolias cyanipardus exarchus Fruhst. 9 - Contrary to dirtea agosthena, we notice in A. cyani¬ 
pardus from Cocliinchina a melanotic tendency of colouring. A 9 lying before me exhibits not only considerably 
reduced whitish spots of the upper surface, but the crescents in the submarginal and intranerval parts of the 
hindwings being in alhopunctata Crowley from Siam of an almost pure white, appear darkened, in bluish. On 
the under surface of the hindwings the submarginal white spots distinguishing albopunctata are entirely absent. 
9-type in the Museum of Geneva. 
florenciae. P. 700. Apatura florenciae Tyfl. was discovered on the Naga Hills in Assam at an altitude of about 
5000 ft. It was met in May and then again in September and October, florenciae approximates A. ulupi Doh. 
from which it is differentiated above by the darker ground-colour and a more sharply defined black median 
band between the two yellowish-brown longitudinal stripes of the forewings. The under surface is preponderantly 
greenish, resembling more the West Chinese A. pallas Leech (Yol. I, t. 51 a), and it exhibits a more strongly 
angled whitish median band than A. ulupi Doh. 
chitralensis. P. 700. Apatura arnbica chitralensis Evans is considerably larger than arnbica Roll. (Vol. I, t. 50 a, 
55 d) from the West Himalaya. The <$ exhibits a white spot at the costa of the forewings, and the 9 has uncom¬ 
monly large though diffuse submarginal spots. From Chitral. 
albina. P. 701. Of Sephisa chandra Moore two more 9-f° rms are described: albina Evans with white hind- 
chandrana. wings, and chandrana Evans with a white preapical band of the forewings and dark hindwings. 
aorsa. P. 709. Euripus consimilis Westw. 9-forma aorsa Rhe-Philipe. Upper surface of the forewings of an 
intense bluish black, at the cell end a white spot and then another broad white subapical oblique band. Hind¬ 
wing cream-coloured with black veins. When flying it resembles Euploea diocletiana. Bhutan. 
dexippus. P. 719. Eriboea athamas dexippus Fruhst. £ of an uncommonly small habitus whereby it approximates 
the I collected in South Annam. The greenish bands of the upper surface, particularly those of the hind¬ 
wings, not only remarkably narrowed, but also more sharply defined. The small submarginal spots of the 
hindwings only as large as a stitch whereby they remind us of those in acutus R. and J . from Luzon. Tai Ninh, 
flying time September. (J-type in the Museum of Geneva. 
aemiliani. P. 722. Eriboea harcaea forma aemiliani Fernandez. Of the character of a quite extreme dry period 
form. Forewing with two cellular spots and one median spot. Hindwing with a small triangular spot in the
