rciiifonn, patch upon the disfocelhilars ; near tho apex of tlip IniMil patch stands often 

 a black dot. The discocellular mark is mostly smaller in the Java form than in 

 typical 7iierjihliari(i,, but there is a specimen (mountain form ?) from Mount (iede, 

 West Java, in Dr. Staudinger's eoUection in which the whole cell is filled up with 

 orange, except a small mark near the apex at the subcostal nervure. The female of 

 incmispieua is usually devoid of the discocellular patch, and the basal patch is mostly 

 small; the individuals in our series vary in this respect rather much ; the liasal patch 

 is either nearly absent or feebly marked, or is even as large as it is in certain Java 

 specimens, and in one of our Celebes individuals there are orange scales upon the 

 discocellulars. 



From these remarks it seems to me to be pretty clear that Hampson, I.e.. was 

 perfectlv right in uniting the above-named four " species" to one species, wliicli we 

 have to divide into three subsjiecies : E. meriibliaria membliaria (Cram.), E. mem- 

 bliaria renii/ent (Feld.), and E. membUari/i, inecmspicua Butl. K. J.

There are specimens of this insect in the Tring JMuseum from the Andaman 

 Islands (.l c?, 5 ?), Pulu Laut (Natuna Islands, 1 ? ; Hose, September 1894), Borneo 

 (2 3, 2 ?), Palawan (1 (?, 1 ?); it has, besides, been recorded from Burma, Siani, 

 and the Philippines; Dr. Staudiuger gave us for inspection a specimen each from 

 Penang and Mindanao. 



The upperside of the wings is, in eitlier sex of this and the other subspecies, 

 opalescent blue iu certain lights. 



In Dr. Staudinger's ? from Mindanao the orange patches of the forewing are 

 as much extended as in ordinary Andaman or Burma examples; the hindwing is 

 without white longitudinal lines in the marginal region, K. J.

The type-specimen oireniijcra (Feld.) is still preserved in the Felder collection; 

 it is rather faded, and the orange patches on the forewing are therefore nuich ]ialer 

 than in fresh specimens. 



The ? of Butler's moderata has tlie orange markings rather smnlh-r than the 

 type oi renigera. 



We know this form, which does not seem to be always distinguishalile from 

 membUuria, onlv from Java. K. J.
