I never encountered this butterfly in the vicinity of Batavia. At Depok 

 and elsewhere, for instance in the Tengger mountains, it is very common. The 

 larva feeds on a climber which I was told is called ke/atnbennati, probably a 

 species of Gymnema. It is entirely of the Danais type. The ground 

 colour is velvety black while the head is also black. The markings consist of 

 numerous white streaks and dots, and a subdorsal row of round spots, one on 

 each segment, those on the median segments being yellow while those on the 

 outer, especially the posterior ones, are orange. In addition an oblong orange 

 spot occurs on either side of the last segment. The larva is provided with 

 two pairs of processes, the anterior pair being fairly long but the posterior 

 short ; these processes are black except the median part of the anterior pair which 

 is whitish grey. The anterior processes can to some extent be moved voluntarily. 

 The pupa is also of the Danais type, light green with black caudal hook 

 having a couple of black dots in close proximity ; at the boundary between 

 thorax and abdomen is a row of lo black dots and parallel with it a similar 

 row of 8 dots on the abdomen ; all these dots are placed within milky-white 

 rings. The abdomen further has a pair of milky-white dots. A pupa of 

 30 November produced the imago on 8 December.

Concerning this species Snellen noted that it differs from D. Similis 

 Clerck only by having the light longitudinal lines in the discoidal cell of the 

 fore-wings uninterupted in both sexes and by the c? possessing a sexual black 

 spot on the under side of the hind-wings which is not the case in the c? of 

 D. Similis Clerck.

The larva which occurs on the same climber as the preceding species and 

 on mcngkoudou oidan (Lasianihus Firmus Miq.), is entirely of the Danais 

 type, resembling the larvae of the other species, with a dark ground colour
