GYCLOSIA. By Dr. Iv. Jordan. 
variable; in the ¥-f. castigata Walk. (3b) the hindwing is white from the base to beyond the cell: in the 
?-f. macularis Guer. the hindwing is black; specimens of this form without submarginal dots on the forewing 
are described by Swinhoe as phonia; ?-f. snelleni form, nov. is entirely black-green, only the submarginal 
dots of the forewing are indicated and usually a trace of the discal band also is present. Transitions occur 
between these forms of the ¥. 
C. panthona Cr. (3c). cf similar to the ?, but smaller. Green-black; body without white spots, but 
often with blue sheen. Both wings with a submarginal band of white spots. — Larva greenish yellow, 
reddish in front and behind; the tubercles black with a white middle. Cocoon pale red. — Distributed 
from Hong Kong to Ceylon and Mergui, not in the Malayan Subregion. 
C. nivipetens Walk. (= panthona Sivinh .) (3c). cf ?: green-black; abdomen beneath with thin white 
transverse bands. On the forewing a broad white band on the disc, in the ? touching or entering the apex 
of the cell, posteriorly narrowed, in the cf narrower than in the ¥; hindwing without markings. 3. subcostal 
of the forewing placed proximally to the 5. — Sumatra and Malacca. 
C. thecloides Walk. (= uniformis Btlr., olivescens Snell.) (3 c). cf and ¥ unicolorous green-black, 
abdomen beneath ringed with white. — Sumatra and Borneo. 
C. inclusus Walk. (= bicolor Moore ) (3d). Sexes very different. cf : body above purple-black, beneath 
yellow, head and antenna bine above. Forewing above brown, with a straight yellow band, which reaches 
the margin before the hinder angle; hindwing small, paler than the forewing. Under surface of the forewing 
proximally and at the hindmargin grey; hindwing purple-brown, suffused with yellowish grey; blue spots before 
the apex of both wings. ?: body white, anteriorly black. Wings yellowish white; forewing from the margin to 
the cell black, purple in a side-view, inclosing two whitish spots. Hindwing with narrower marginal band. — 
Java, Sumatra, Malacca and Borneo. The ¥ is a good copy of the Papuan (!) Terias Candida puella Boisd. 
C. hecabe spec. nov. (3d). Sexes different. ¥: head blue; thorax and base of the forewing with strong 
green gloss; abdomen pale bluish green, glossy. Wings yellowish white; forewing with a broad metallic 
black marginal band, marked with blue and excised between the 2. radial and the 1. median; marginal band 
of the hindwing narrower than in C. inclusus. Beneath both wings spotted with blue before the margin. 
Here belongs probably a cf from Mt. Marapok, North Borneo, which is in the Tring Museum. Head, antenna 
and fore part of the thorax blue, rest of the upperside of the body green, underside grey-white. Forewing 
above black-green, with indistinct grey subapical band; hindwing light blue, costal margin black to the middle 
of the cell. Under surface of the forewing black, posteriorly and at the base grey-white, the cell and a 
couple of small subapical spots blue, an oblique subapical band grey-white, constricted near the lower angle 
of the cell; hindwing grey-white, with faint blue stripes at the margins of the cell and before the 1 . sub¬ 
median, a blue marginal spot from the costal to the 2. radial, fringes black. — North Borneo and Penang; 
2 ¥¥ and 1 cf in the Tring Museum. The ¥ is strikingly similar to the ¥ of Terias hecabe. 
C. eucharia spec, nov. (3d), cf: upperside of the body and wings grey, underside of the body 
white, of the wings whitish blue. Forewing above black from the apex to the 2. median, with 2 yellow 
spots and some blue scales; beneath somewhat more extended black. Hindwing beneath with black spots 
in the cell and round its apex. — Penang. 1 cf in the Tring Museum. The specimen was in a consignment 
which also contained a ¥ of C. hecabe, and we consequently took it at first for the cf of hecabe. 
C. boholica Setup. (3d), cf: upperside of the body and wings black-brown; irons and underside 
of the body yellowish white, abdomen ringed with yellow. Forewing with pale yellow band from the costal 
margin to the lower median vein; hindwing with yellow central longitudinal area. — Bohol. Philippines: 
not known to me in nature. Does it belong here or to Pidorus or Docleopsis? 
C. electra Sivinh, (3d), cf: forewing above black, with oblique yellow band, which is constricted 
in the middle; the base blue like the thorax. Hindwing white or yellowish, the hindmargin of the forewing 
the same colour; apex of the hindwing or also the costal margin black. — North Borneo. In the British Museum. 
C. midamia (= midama auct.). cf and ¥ similar. Antenna and upperside of the body blue, beneath 
and laterally, sometimes also above, with white markings. Wings brown-black, with white dots, distally more 
or less blue, hindwing in the cf often, in the ¥ more rarely striped with white, sometimes also the forewing 
striped. The two submedians of the forewing connected behind the middle by a transverse vein (in one of our 
Borneo ¥¥ this transverse vein is absent on the right wing; Dohrn mentions a cf from Sumatra in which the 
transverse vein is only present on the right wing). Very variable in the extent of the blue and white. Common; 
Puploea- like in flight. Indo-Malayan. — midamia H.-Sch. (—. venusta Walk., spilophila Walk., stelligera Btlr.) 
(3e) is found from North India (Sikkim, Bhutan, Assam) to Ceylon, extending eastwards to Tonkin. In the cf 
the apex and distal margin of the forewing and often also the entire margin of the hindwing is blue, the 
blue is rarely wanting or almost so above, but is always present beneath. The white marking of the hindwing 
are in the ¥ very variable, the discal spots sometimes yellow; the two extremes are ¥-form midamia H.-Sch.,
