Peninsula in which the black band-like raargini-snbm.arginal area is not interrnpted. 

 The median bars (SM') — SJP of the hindwing below stand very often at right 

 angles to SM', especiallv in Malaccan specimens. 



i. The white colour of the npperside mnch more extended than in d. 

 Forewing : cell blnish white except npper angle, discal area extending a little 

 beyond R', white scaling at SW approaching edge of wing. Hindwing : ad- 

 marginal spots (' — M- all developed, fused with the white discal area, the upper 

 portion of the black area reduced to a triangular patch at uj)per angle of wing, 

 pointing backwards, not reaching R', aboat 5 mm. wide at costal margin, portion 

 St'- — M- of the black snbmarginal area represented by elliptical black si)ots which 

 include the linear, white, snbmarginal spots, and of which the u])per three 

 are the smallest, tails and margin between them, as well as the extreme edge of 

 the rest of the distal margin of the wing, black.

 Prov. Wellesley (accord, to Distant). Sumatra, 10 (Jc? : Setinjak, W. Sumatra

Dr. Martin, I.e. p. 430, says of moor/ that it occurs, like /w/jf, at lower 

 elevations in the Battak Mountains, N.E. Sumatra, from Selesseh to Bekantschau. 

 Though Herr Rober has given a name to a specimen of /iioori from Java, calling 

 it Javanus, we cannot find any difterential character that holds good in a number 

 of individuals. The specimens of moori from .Java and those from the Malay 

 Peninsula approach in the extent of black on the hindwing very often individuals 

 from Borneo (moori heracles), while the Sumatran individuals are generally more 

 extended white. The black apical area of the hindwing aliove measures along SC^ 

 in our specimens {6 S) from Java from ~\ to 9J mm., in those from the Malay 

 Peninsula also T^ to 9i; mm., while in the Sumatran examples the numbers are 

 7^ and is| mm. On the forewing above, the white scaling at SM- is generally a 

 little more extended in the Sumatran than in the Javan or Malaccan examples ; 

 the discal bluish white scaling of the hindwing above penetrates more often across 

 R' into the black apical patch in Sumatran individuals than in those from the other 

 localities, and in the Sumatran specimens, again, the admarginal spots R' — M- of the 

 hindwing above are more often indicated than in the specimens of moori moori from 

 elsewhere. The Sumatran moori moori are, therefore, on the whole more different 

 from the Bornean moori /lerarh's than are the Javan and i\ra!accan moori moori. 



Specimens in which the admarginal sjrats of the hindwing are not connected 

 with the white discal area are comparatively rare amongst moori moori. We have 

 one specimen each from Malacca, S.E. Sumatra, and W. Java (Gede), in which 

 those spots are not joined to the discal area. 



In 1894 Herr Riiber differentiated the Bornean moori under the name of 

 heracles from moori moori. In 189.5 he said {I.e.) that " two c?<? of heracles from 

 Sumatra (Deli) are not different from specimens from South Borneo." This state- 

 ment is not in accordance with what we said above of Sumatran moori ; but we have 

 examined one of Riibcr's Sumatran individuals, and find that it agrees with our 

 Sumatran specimens, hence differing from the Bornean examjiles in the cbaracters 

 mentioned above, being, in fact, more different from the Bornean specimens of moori
