Abstract
During a collecting trip to Mindanao, the Philippines, a series of Parantica dannatti different from the nominate subspecies was captured. Although the locality of the nominate subspecies was given by TALBOT only as the Philippines, possibly Mindanao, specimens obtained on Mt. Apo of southeastern Mindanao accord well with his description. The specimens from northeastern Mindanao to be dealt with in this paper are evidently different from them and are regarded as a new subspecies of P. dannatti. Danaus apoxanthus CLENCH, 1958, described from Mt. Apo should be regarded as a synonym of the nominated subspecies of P. dannatti.
