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.

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.

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

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.
