In 1879 T twice caught this species at the watering-place Bekti near 

 Touban, situated on the north-coast of C. J., and in the collection of the Zool. 

 Institute at Tubingen I found 4 specimens, which are said to have been caught 

 in Japara, also in the north of C. J.

Bingham, Fauna 0/ Br. India p. 183, 184,7%-. 49<2= 9 (1907)- Huphrina Nerissa. 



I found this butterfly whose eyes during life, are pale-grey, common only 

 in the lower countries, where it flies at a moderate height, especially in gardens 

 near hedges and brushwood. But it occurs also in the mountains and according 

 to Dr. Hagen {Iris 1894) it is in Sumatra even a mountain-butterfly. Moore's 

 Huphrina Phryne of Ceylon probably belongs to the same species. In Java 

 the form Corva Wall, is the common form which closely approaches the form 

 LiCHENOSA Moore, figured by Bingham ; and which is particularly characterized 

 by a strong increase of the black, especially in the $. 



Also the specimens of Bali are conform to these. Fruhstorfer, however, 

 did find much lighter-coloured specimens of both sexes of this butterfly, in 

 which the upper-side of the 9 shows just as much white as that of the d, and 

 the black pigment on the upper-side of the 9 like that on the under-side of 

 both sexes has changed to a sometimes rather yellowish lightbrown. He found 

 these in the mountains near Malang (445) and Lawang (500) in E. J., but 

 only here and there and in a few specimens. One caught by him at Soukaboumi 

 in W. J. is obviously a transition to the dark form. In the Leyden museum 

 there are also several such specimens from the same localities in E. J. And in 

 the collection named on page XXVIII, gathered in the heart of the dry season at 

 Batavia, I received also two such 9, but at the same time with 5 d belonging 

 altogether to the dark form, and quite conform to those from the wet season. 



I give a figure of the under-side of the hind-wing of such a specimen, but 

 it must be borne in mind that some of them are a little more blackish; that 

 in others the general yellowish shade is much paler, and that in a few, the 

 yellow quite turns into white, while also the dark yellow spot near the base
