Abstract

The taxonomy and zoogeography of the Hypolimnas octocula species-group is revised. Three new subspecies of octocula are described and figured, while lifuana is nominated a local form of o. elsina; formosa and pallas are placed in synonymy under o. octocula and o. perryi respectively. Field notes, including the life-history of o. octocula are supported by photographic records. H. arakalulk is raised to specific rank, to which marianensis is newly combined as a subspecies. The allied species errabunda and exiguus are also discussed and figured, as is the little-known taxon inopinata.
