408 RHOPALOCERA MALAYAN A. 



2. Danais melaneus (antca, p. 14.) 



Ciiilii(j(( JSiDiksii, Moore, Proo. Zool. Soc. 1883, p. 251, n. 8. 



Mr. Moore has named the above varietal form as a distinct species, a course with which 

 I cannot agree, as typical forms of D. iiichuwits have since been received from Perak and other 

 portions of the Malay Peninsula. 



5. Danais genutia (antea, p. 18). 



Salatura intermedia, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1883, p. 241, n. G. 



As before remarked, in nearly every series of D. genutia received from the Malay Peninsula 

 there is found a variety in which the posterior wings have the fulvous-red much suffused with 

 white (Tab. II., fig. 3). Mr. Moore has since described this variety as a distinct species under 

 the name of S. iuternwdia, and in his monograph has separated it from the typical form of 

 D. (jeniitia by the intervention of four other species. The reasons, however, for thus treating 

 this usually recognised variety as a distinct species are unfortunately not given. Its purely 

 varietal nature has been further exemplified by the subsequent examination of a Perak specimen 

 in which the fulvous shading is mixed with the white of the posterior wings. 



7. Danais chrysippus {antea, p. 20), car. alcippoides. (Tab. XL., fig. 13.) 



Limnas Alcippoides, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1883, p. 238, n. 8, t. 31, f. 1. 

 Dmiais Alcippus, Marsh. & de Nic. Butt. Ind. Burm. & Ceyl. vol. i. p. 51 (1882). 



This variety bears the same relationship to D. chnjsippus as a similar variety does to 

 D. (jeinitia. Messrs. Marshall and de Niceville incline to this varietal opinion, although 

 provisionally keeping it under a distinctive name. The specimen figured was captured at 

 Singapore by Capt. Godfery ; it is also reported as found occasionally in Continental India 

 and Pumgoon.*

Male. Anterior wings above bhick, the cell, a large i^atch occupying the greater portion of the 

 interspace between the lower median nervule and the submedian nervure, a smaller patch or subquadrate 

 spot between the second and third median nervules, — sometimes divided or in other specimens only 

 partially cleft, — two spots above this situate between the two upper median nervules, five or six subapical 

 spots in curved series, a submargiual row of spots and a very indistinct and broken series of small 

 marginal spots, pale bluish-grey and subhyaline. Posterior wings above pale subhyaline and bluish-grey, 

 the costal area and the outer margin broadly castaneous, enclosing beyond the cell some pale spots and 

 containing near anal angle two black pseudo scent-glands ; neuration blackish. Wings beneath as above, 

 but the anterior wings with the ground colour of the apical area reddish-brown ; posterior wings with two
