Wallace described this race from Timor; the female is darker and suffused puri)le above. Our

Antennae about half the length of costa, with clubs long and gradual. Byes smooth. Forewing 
w'ith vein 10 from subcostal just before end of cell: cell much less than half the length of wing and 
open, ilindwing with cell much less than half the length of wing and open: termen jn-oduced at vein 
la to a blunt tail. 
Type. JJole.schallia hisallide (h’amer, from Java. 
The genus has a w’ide range, occurring from India to Fiji: the species are all of similar colours and

black: an obscure sublerminal line, brown-black. 
BEKEATir. A^ery variable: i*ed, grey, piu'ple and green shades of brown: basal areas usually paler 
but sometimes darker than outer areas, but ahvays separated from outer areas by a naiTow’ dark, 
sometimes obscure, central line: usually a bar across cell and a bar at end of cell of forewing, darker: 
sometimes a series of spots in basal areas of both Avings, Avhite: snbai)ical dots of foreAving as aboA'e 
and continued across both Avings as a series of obscure and very irregular discal ocelli, that in area

Genus CETHOSIA Fabricius. 
Illiger's Magazine, vi, 1807, p. 280, 
Antennae about half the length of costa, Avith clubs long, gradual and slender. Eyes smooth. Fore¬ 
Aving Avitli vein 11 from subcostal just before end of cell: A'ein 10 from vein 7 Avell beyond end of cell: 
cell about half the length of Aving and closed. Hindwing with cell about half the length of Aving and 
closed: vein 3 and vein 4 arising from nearly the same point: termen strongly dentate. 
Type. Cethosia cydipiie Linne, from the Moluccas. 
In addition to the two forms described beloAA', tlie blue 6'. lamareki has been recorded from Australia. 
As lamareki is a Timor species this record may be correct but it has neA-er been authenticated.
