Surprising is the devlopment of the genus Athyma Westwood (Nymphalidae) in the small island of Palawan, where we could recognise nine distinct species and more than half of them are endemic to the island and the neighbouring Balabac Island. We describe an unique race of Athyma asura from Palawan Island. The species is distributed from Himalaya to south China and southwards to the Malaysian subregion, but has not hitherto been found in Palawan Island.
