A very wide ranging species, AAdiieli, excepting perhairs in Fiji, does not appear to liaA^e deA^eloped 
Jewaphical races. Great flights of this butterfly haA’o on several occasions been noted in Queensland. 
Genus ALLORA noA\ 
Antennae about half the length of costa. ForCAving Avitli costa nearly straight, apex subacute, 
nearly straight: cell less than tAA^othirds the length of costa: vein 5 very slightly nearer to vein 6 
"^Qtoveml: A’ein 3 much nearer to end of cell than to base of AA’ing: vein la not bent near base: 
sslfl witliont a discal sexmark. Hindwing with tennen sligditly produced at A’ein la: A’ein 3 and A’ein 
Lte together at base. 
hpE. Allora doJeschalU Felder, from the Moluccas. 
This genus is distinguished from Ilasora by A’ein la of forcAA’ing being straight instead of distorted.
