This butterfly is extremely common in Java, but is confined entirely to 

 the mountains of more than 500 metres. Fruhstorfer calls the E. J. form 

 Hillixa to distinguish it from the W. J. form. 



I can observe no difference between specimens from W. J. and from E. J. 

 In this species the process of darkening of the orange on the upperside of the 

 primaries shows very clearly and is quite individual. From the same district 

 specimens are found in which the orange is still very distinct, beside others in 

 which it has almost disappeared, in the same way as amongst the Hesperidae, 

 in Koruthaiolos Xaxites Butt. In the '2 this orange is always much more 

 extensive than in the o , but still varies individually. In many o" specimens 

 the blue powdering on the upperside of the primaries has also disappeared.

Fruhstorfer regards the Java specimens as a subspecies Archytas. 



The illustration which Distant gives of the $ corresponds well with my 

 Javan specimens, on the other hand de Niceville's illustration of the J' does not.
