This butterfly appears to be common everywhere in the lower lying districts 

 but less so in the mountains. The shade of the brown of the upper side is 

 darker in some specimens than in others. Individual differences occur in the 

 white spots on the upper side of the fore-wings as regards size and number as 

 well as with respect to the development of some structural blue on these. 



At Batavia the larva is found on a climbing plant known locally as Serout 

 OYOX (Cephalotrophis javanica B1.). Its general colour is brown or dark violet, 

 sometimes a little lighter and reddish, with many transverse faint white and 

 numerous wider black lines ; along the ventral margin occurs a yellowish-white 

 stripe. The ventral side is dark in colour, the legs are black ; the head is 

 shining black or brown marked with white lines. The very young larva is 

 evenly shining, partly yellow-brown, partly blackish grey, with a red head. 

 The most striking feature of the larva consists in its dorsal processes which 

 resemble those occurring in the species of Danais much more than those noted 

 by me in any other species of Euploea, being, as is the case with the former, 

 straight and short, not curved. Only three pairs are present, on the second 

 and third thoracic and the penultimate, but not on the second, abdominal 

 segment. Of these three pairs, agreeing in colour with the back, the foremost 

 is longest and the second shortest; in the very young larva the second pair 

 has not yet made is appearance. 



Before pupating the larvae turn a greenish grey ; the pupae are at first 

 yellow but on the second day they begin to resemble burnished gold or silver. 

 In the case of two larvae which pupated on 1 1 "> December the imagines 

 emerged on the 1 9"^ of the same month, while one which commenced this process 

 on 4 February and another on 22 March, completed their metamorphosis on 

 12 February and 29 March respectively.
