D. stigma Rothsch. (2 f). cf: body black; occiput and collar orange; tip of the abdomen yellow, stigma. 
Wings purple-brown, with blue sheen, especially on the under surface; forewing with a white costal spot 
before the apex; 5 subcostal veins. In the hindwing the 1. radial weak, not anastomosing with the 2. distally. 
— North Celebes, in November-December. 
D. dohertyi Rothsch. (2f). Not a true Docleopsis. Frons broader, 1. and 2. subcostals of the forewing dohertyi. 
close together, 1. radial of the hindwing arising near the 2. subcostal and widely separated from the 2. radial. 
Purple-black, underside of the body, frons, somewhat more than the basal half of the forewing, an irregular 
area on the upperside of the hindwing and b /e of the underside of this wing yellow. On the forewing 
2 feebly indicated yellow spots behind the end of the cell, corresponding to the spots of the 3 preceding 
species. — South Celebes, in August-September. 
15. Genus: 8cio<loclea gen. nov. 
cf: frons convex, broad. Antenna (cf ) with long pectinations, which only become shorter towards 
the tip. Wings triangular; forewing pointed, with only 3 subcostals, 5. subcostal and 1. radial stalked, and 
also 2. and 3. radials; costal veinlets weak, only distally indicated. Veins of the hindwing as in Docleopsis. 
— 1 species, from Amboina. 
S. modesta spec. nov. (2f). Upperside of the body and wings black-brown, frons, palpi, breast, under- modesta. 
side of the abdomen and the legs dirty yellow, upperside of the tibiae and tarsi slightly brownish. Forewing 
beneath before the apex with a yellow curved band, which does not extend to the 2. median vein; a small 
yellow spot before the apex of the hindwing. — Amboina, in February. 1 cf in the Tring Museum. 
16. Genus: Cyclosia Hbn. 
Frons strongly projecting, triangular in a side view, flattened beneath. Costa of the forewing con¬ 
nected with the costal margin by short veins; 1. subcostal distally coincident with the costa, 3.—5. subcostals 
and mostly also the 1. radial stalked together, the 3. subcostal either placed distally to the 5. (Cgclosia) or 
proximally to it (Isbarta) or at the same height, these variations not constant even in the same species, 
sometimes one wing of an individual with G/cZosG-neuration, the other with GG/r/u-neuration; hinder angle 
of the cell in both wings more distal than the upper, upper cell-angle of the hindwing obtuse, 2. and 3. radials 
in both wings separated. — In a number of species the sexes almost alike, whilst in others they are so 
dissimilar both in size and colouring that the cfcf were formerly placed in other genera (Pidorus and Pintia). 
Most of the ?? and some cfcf are strikingly like Danaids, a few species also resemble Pierids, and some 
rare forms brown Euploeids. The identity of cf and ? in the case of papilionaris australinda Damps, has 
been proved by breeding; Piepers has also reared cf and ? of C. piericloides from similar larvae. — The 
larvae, which are furnished with rows of bristle-bearing tubercles, live, as far as is known, on Solanaeeae 
and Aroideae. 
C. pieridoides is distributed from Tonkin and Tenasserim to Java and Borneo and has developed 
into several subspecies (= geogr. races), cf and ? very different, cf pale blue, the veins dark; a number 
of white spots on the forewing. Hindwing beneath yellow at least at the abdominal margin; a spot anteriorly 
in the apex of the cell of both wings, also present in the ?, black. ? white or dirty white, with black vein- 
stripes and black spots, sometimes the black colouring predominating on the forewing, the hindwing in 2 of 
the forms yellow from the cell to the hindmargin. Larva not known. — The most northerly subspecies 
known is melasina subsp. nov., from Central Tonkin; the forewing of the ? black, with white stripes and melasina. 
spots, the veins bluish; hindwing yellow from the middle of the cell to the hindmargin, apex more extended 
black than in binghami; the cf not known. — binghami Btlr. (cf = cyanescens Hamps .) has a ? similar to the binghami. 
preceding form, but the white stripes and spots are larger. In the cf the white spots of the forewing are 
distinct above, the hindwing above is yellowish white, black at the apex, and beneath yellow for the most 
part. Tenasserim. — virgo subsp. nov., from Malacca, has in the ? a purer white ground-colour than the virgo. 
other Malayan ??, and the black vein-streaks, especially on the hindwing, are thinner. In the cf the hind¬ 
wing above is uniformly blue, the veins are not prominent, but the distal margin is black, especially at the 
apex; beneath the yellow hindmarginal spot reaches to the cell. — glauca Walk. (2 gj is found in Sumatra glauca. 
und Nias (and probably the other islands off the west coast of Sumatra). The white spots on the forewing 
are distinct; the upper surface of the hindwing has no vein-stripes, the apex (or some spots before it) is 
black. The dirty white ? has broad black vein-stripes. — hestinoides Walk, inhabits Borneo. The cf is hestinoides.

and the hindwing has dark vein-stripes. The ?$ are not distinguishable from glauca ??. — pieridoides H.-Sch. pieridoides.

above; the forewing is black from the apex of the cell and has white spots; beneath the white markings
