The Javanese specimens, according to Snellen belong to the form Larissa 

 Felder. A still smaller difference in colour evolution originated the form 

 PsEUDOMELANEUS Moore. Under the latter designation Fruhstorfer specially 

 indicates the Java form.

According to Moore the figure by Cramer represents the form from the 

 south of British India. The accompanying illustration has been prepared from 

 a Javanese specimen.

I did not meet with this species in the vicinity of Batavia but at a slightly 

 higher altitude at Meester Cornelis. 



The egg is fairly large, white, strongly ribbed longitudinally. The larva 

 was found on hanyouivatig (Marsdenia tinctoria R. Br.) at Tjampea. Moore 

 gives an asclepiad, Tvlophora carnosa, as its food plant in British India and 

 Calotropis in Ceylon ; it is of the Danais type and shows marbling of milkv 

 white spots with reticulation of faint lilac lines. On the last three segments, 

 however, the spots are yellow and in the full-grown larvae a subdorsal row of 

 yellow spots occurs in addition, except on the i^' and 2°*^ thoracic segments. 

 A yellow dot invariably occurs on either side of the i*' thoracic segment. The 

 back is at times of almost a chalky white beneath which a black ground is 

 scarcely discernable ; in young larvae, on the other hand, the back is less 

 white and the general colouring, therefore, darker. Two pairs of processes 

 are present, the anterior pair, on the 2°'^ thoracic segment, being much longer 

 than the posterior pair which is situate on the penultimate segment ; the former
