    Cethosia 1%20勿。αboholica:TsuKADA(parし),1985:292. Cebu.

       8. Very closely relate.d to subsp. boholica SEMpER from Bohol and Leyte, but

    on the under surface the marginal black bapds of both wings are narrower; the

    forewing submarginal yellow area is somewhat broader ; the hindwing postdiscal

    yellow area is broader and extended beyond the postdiscal series of black spots.

      This new subspecies again approaches to subsp. Pariana SEMpER from N.egros,

    but on the under surfae the hindwing di’scal white area is broader.

       Length of forewing: 35-45 mm., 8.

      Holotype 8’: Dalaguete, Cebu ls., iii. 1985.

       Paratypes : 1 8, Ouba, Cebu ls., vii. 1987 ; 7 8, Ouba, Cebu ・ls., xi. 1987 ; 3 8,

    somewhat narrower, arid the white areas are broader especially beyond the post-

    discal double lines.

    may be enumerated as below:

    C. maenalis negros MARTiN,’ @1903 ’ ・・ Negros.C. maenali・s cebuensis M. & T. OKANo, 1988 Cebu.

    C. maenalis ri2ali TsuKADA & NisHiyAMA, 1985 Bohol.

    C. maenalis kynosura TsuKADA&NlsHiyAMA, 1985 Leyte.

    Athyma magindana pizarrasi subsp. nQv.

              (Pl. 1, figs. 3-4, 8)

    Athyma magindana SEMpER (part.), 1889: 140. Bohol.

      Differs from the nominate subspecies from Mindanao as follows.

       8. On the upPer surface the.ground ’colour of both wings is more strongly

    tinged with black; all the bands and spots are more sharply defined against the.

    ground;the forewing upper postdiscal and submarginal spots hr6 pure white,

    while these spots are tinged with yellbw in subsp. magindana;the hindwing

    discal and postdiscal yellow bapds turn white towards ・the costa. On the under

    surface the ground colour of both wings i$ lighter; the markings are somewhat

    darker.

       Length of forewing: 35-38 mm., S.

       Holotype S: Bilar, Bohol ls., xii. 1987.

       Paratypes:3 S, data siame as holotype.

       The subspecific nqme is dedicated to Mr. .PRIMITIvo PlzARRAs.

       Concerning subsp. zilana FRuHsToRFER from. Basilan, FRu}isToRFER[1913コ

    says, “ln Bohol we find an. allied form mentioned by SEMpER, but .unknown to

    me”. SQ far as we.referred to his description, however, Pizarrasi i’s distinctly

    different from 2ilana.

    Moduza pintuyana pintuyana (SEMp’ER, 1878)

      Specimens examined : 2 S,.Catmon, Leyte. ls., viiHx, 1984 ; 1 8, Hinunangan,

    Leyte ls., ix. 1984.

  • 292 Artes Liberales No. 42, 1988

    This i$ the. first record of the species from Leyte ls.

                        Lexias panopus boholensis subsp. nov.’

                                (Pl. 1, figs. 5-8,・ .8 9)

    Symphaedra banoPus: SEMpER (bart.), 1888: 95. Bohol.

       8 9. Nearest to subsp. ingae ScHRODER & TREADAwAy from Negros, but

    smaller in size ; on th. e upper surface the subinarginal yellow bands Qf both wings

    are narrower ; the outer margin of the hindwing submarginal band is less strong-

    ly projected between veins; the submarginal black spots in the yellow band are

    somewhat smaller.

       On the other hand, this new subspecies is similar to subsp. visのrana ScHR6DER

    & TREADAwAy from Leyte, but smaller in size, on the upper surface the sub-

    marginal yellow bands of both wings are broader,’ and the hindwing submarginal

    black spots in the yellow band are smaller.

       Length of forewing: 34-38mm., 8; 45-47 mm., 9.

       Holotype (1) : Bilar, Bohol ls.; xii. 1987.

       Paratypes:6 8 2 9, data same as holotype.

       On this occasion, we express our hearty thanks to Mr. J. V. PizARRAs and

    Mr. V. PlzARRAs for their kind assistance in collecting materials, besides the

    gentlemen mentioned in the first and second reports.
