Snellen in Tijd. voor Ent., vol. xxxviii, p. 24, pi. i, fig. 3, male (1895), as 
Pieris panda, Godart, var. 
561. Hebomoia borneensis, Wallace. 
Grose Smith as glaucippe. Snellen as glaucippe. Hagen as glau¬ 
cippe, var. sumatrana, Hagen; and glaucippe , var. sumatrensis, Hagen. 
Wallace as glaucippe. Distant as glaucippe. As will be seen above, 
-all authors have recorded this species as H. glaucippe , Linnaeus, except 
Dr. Hagen, who in his first Sumatran paper calls it H. glaucippe , var. 
sumatrana, and in his second paper PL. glaucippe , var. sumatrensis, for the 
reason that other local races have been named H. celebensis, Wallace, 
H. borneensis, Wallace, H. philippensis, Wallace, and PL. javanensis, Wallace 
[nec javaensis, Hagen]. But Dr. Hagen’s names cannot stand, as the 
Sumatran race is identical with the Bornean one which has already been 
named, and has the orange apical area on the upperside of the forewing 
in the male reduced to a patch half as large as that found in true 
PL. glaucippe from North India, Burma, and the Malay Peninsula. 
The South Indian and Ceylonese form strangely enough agrees with 
the Javan, and should therefore be known as H. javanensis, Wallace. 
H. borneensis is rare in our area. Dr. Martin has only once at Namoe 
Oekor captured a specimen himself, and Dr. Hagen records.only two 
specimens from Sumatra. These three specimens were observed by their 
captors to settle quite suddenly on a low shrub with folded wings, having 
descended from a high and rapid flight. From Selesseh, Bohorok, and the 
outer ranges of the Battak mountains a few specimens have been ob¬ 
tained, including two females only; but on the western boundary 
of our area it must be very common, as the Gayoe collectors brought 
in hundreds of males. It flies from March to August, but is most abun¬ 
dant in May. 
562. Nepheronia Valeria, Cramer. 
Wallace. Staudinger. Hagen. Semper as lutescens. N. Valeria 
was originally described from a male from Java. N. lutescens, Butler, 
was originally described from a male from Borneo. Wallace, while re¬ 
taining the Bornean form under N. Valeria, says that the male has the 
( forewing rather more elongated than in the typical Javan form, with 
a slightly concave outer margin. I have a large series of both sexes of 
N. Valeria from the Malay Peninsula (called N. lutescens by Distant), 
Sumatra, Nias, Java, and Borneo. I find both sexes in all localities 
slightly variable, and I do not think it is possible to create (in the sense 
of separating them oft into local races with distinctive names) local 
races for them. N. Valeria is a very quick flying and restless insect,
