The larva is found on kelambennan (Gymnema 5/.) and ouf/ous a/am 

 (Tylophora cissoides B1.) and differs from most of the Javanese Danais larvae 

 in having, not two, but like D. Chrysippus, three pairs of processes which are 

 filiform, entirely black, and placed on the 2°'^ thoracic and the 2°'^ and penultimate 

 abdominal segments ; these processes are fairly short, the anterior pair being 

 the longest whereas the two other pairs are very short. The markings of the 

 larva consists of pearly grey, transverse lines and spots with a sub-dorsal row 

 of a golden yellow ; it much resembles the larva of D. Genutia but the ground 

 colour is darker. The head is black. The pupa has the same shape as in 

 that species, and is green at first becoming subsequently of a light rose colour 

 with a few golden spots and a line of black, white, and silver mixed, at the 

 boundary of thorax and abdomen.

In the case of Artenice, Snellen also noted that cell \a of the fore- wings 

 is entirely dark on the upper side, but that the under side of the hind-wings 

 differs considerably both from Melanippus and Genutia. 



Besides the type figured by Cramer specimens occur in Java either without 

 white in the median portion of the upper side of the hind-wings or having 

 that region strongly suffused with white, the latter being the form Abigar Eschh. 

 The under side of the hind-wings, moreover, contains more white in some 

 specimens than in others, this difference, to judge from my specimens, being 

 more accentuated in the 6 than in the v. The name Artenice is specially 

 applied by Fruhstorfer to the Java form. 



W. J. Batavia (3 — 14); in the lower districts near Pademangan Wood this 

 butterfly is common, but from the higher regions I have received but a single 

 specimen. 



C. J. The species was described by Cramer from Semarang.
