hindwings more curved. On the underside a darker red-brown than intermedia. Sapporo. — - curvata Mats, curvnta. 
is also similar to intermedia. The conical spot on forewings is distinctly longer at the disco-cellular and bent 
downwards. A small white spot in the middle between it and the marginal row. The marginal row smaller on 
hindwings. Corea. — pura Grunbg. Marking white, the marginal dots of forewings almost extinct, discal spot pura. 
narrower, hind marginal spots larger. The middle band of hindwings wider anteriorly, the outer row of spots 
indistinct. Described from Sumatra, also occurring in upper Burma and perhaps touching palaearctic territory 
N. soma Mr. The species occurs in numerous forms in India and S. E. Asia. On palaearctic territory soma. 
we only find capnodes Fruhst., a wet season form. All white markings narrower, the fore wings smoky-brown, capnodes. 
hindwings diffuse yellowish. West China. x4ccording to Fruhstorfer this is the form that is illustrated in 
Vol. 1, plate 53 f as susruta, whilst the correct susruta Leech (Vol. 1, p. 177) is illustrated in Vol. 9, plate 126 f, g 
as soma. 
N. yerburyi Btlr. (Vol. 1, p. 176, plate 53 e). — omnicola Fruhst. Larger than the typical race from yerburyi. 
Tenasserim. White markings considerably reduced, dusted faintly yellowish with a little grey. West China. ommco,a - 
Probably very similar to tibetana Mr. (Vol. 1, plate 54 a). 
N. sankara Roll. (Vol. 1, p. 177). - ambina Fruhst. Besides antonia Oberth. (Vol. 1, plate 54 a) and sankara. 
sinica Mr. (Vol. 9, plate 61 g) specimens also occur in West China which are similar to the typical sankara (this amhina - 
is the entire original description). There was no need to give them a name therefore. — segesta Fruhst. is an segesta. 
extreme form of antonia (Vol. 1, plate 54 a), the yellow bands are wider on upperside and the white bands wider 
on underside. Szechuan. 
N. ananta Mr. (Vol. 1, p. 178, plate 54 b). — In albicans Oberth. the markings that are dark yellow in ananta. 
typical ananta, are yellowish-white. It differs on the underside of hindwings from chinensis Leech (Vol. 1, al,:ncans - 
plate 54 b) by a wide bluish-white middle band, the succeeding narrow band is violet. Siao-lu. — sitis Fruhst. 
has the bands and spots on upperside bright ochre-yellow instead of dark. Dry season form from Bhutan; this 
is no longer palaearctic and therefore more explicitly dealt with in Vol. 9, p. 620. 
N. armandia Oberth. (Vol. 1, p. 178, plate 54 d) (12 c). — taphos Fruhst. Larger than mothone Fruhst. armandia. 
(Vol. 1, p. 244), the bands darker ochreous. The yellow spots on underside more extensive than in armandia ta P ]ws - 
and mothone, also the violet zigzag band of hindwings is wider. Omei-shan. — tristis Oberth. (12 d). All the tristis. 
yellow markings are narrower, especially at the outer margin of both wings. On the other hand on underside 
the ground colour is brighter yellow. Tibet. — laetifica Oberth. has wider yellow bands than typical especially laetifica. 
on hindwings. Underside as tristis. Ta-tsien-lu. 
N. themis Leech (Vol. 1, p. 179, plate 54 f). — ilos Fruhst. All the yellow markings are fainter than themis. 
typical, especially in the cell and subapical area. On underside the basal area of forewings is white. Amur. llos ' 
N. imitans Oberth. (12 b). Similar to Danais tytia Gray (Vol. 1, plate 28 e). Bluish-white, veins widely imitans. 
black, white spots on margin. The margin of hindwings widely brown. Underside similarly. Tseku. 
N. zaida Dbl. Of this indian species the race bhutanica Tytl. (12 c) penetrates as far as Sikkim and may -aida. 
therefore enter the palaearctic region. On underside similar to the illustration of meloria Oberth. ( Vol. 1. plate 54 b), hhutanim - 
but the ground colour is pale brown, the bands white. LTpperside may be described as similar to a thestias Leech 
(plate 54 b) with white bands. 
3. Genus: Xifmenitis F. 
L. Camilla L. (= sibilla L., Vol. 1, p. 181, plate 57 a, b). — puellula Fruhst. is small in comparison to Camilla. 
north german specimens, the white bands and spots narrower, the red anal spots are absent on hindwings. V ue tiula. 
Geneva. Varies only little from angustefasciata (Vol. 1, p. 181). — glorifica Fruhst. has especially on forewings glorifica. 
the white bands double as wide as in japonica Men. On underside subapical spots are large, smaller submarginal 
spots on hindwings. Japan. 
L. helmanni (Vol. 1, p. 181, plate 57 b). — chosemsis Mats, is similar to pryeri Mr., but the radial basal helmanni. 
streak on the forewings is obliquely truncate at its apex. The outer row of spots only consists of 4 spots, chosensis. 
Submarginal .band of hindwings extinct, the white lunules of the middle band small. Corea. 
L. doerriesi Stgr. (Vol. 1, p. 182, plate 57 b, 61 d). — In schaljapini Kardak (12 c) the white main band doerriesi. 
of both wings is about as wide as in sibilla-japonica Men. The streak and spot in the cell of the fore wings are sc haljapini. 
heavy. Narva, Ussuri. 
L. homeyeri Tancre (Vol. 1, p. 182, plate 57 c). — nigerrima Oberth. is a subform to venata Leech (Vol. 1, homeyeri. 
plate 57 c), almost entirely black on upperside, on underside the white middle band is absent on both wings, m d errima - 
the marginal spots very faint, Ta-tsien-lu.
