10. Elymnias godferyi. (Tab. XXXIX., fig. 5 ? .) 



FJiiiitiiiiix OoiJuTiji, Distant, Ann. & I\Iag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. xii. p. 3,51 (188;}). 



Female. Allied to E. vasmlcva, Moore,* but differing above by tbo mudi paler colouring of the wings, 

 the fuscous shadings in the Indian species heing r(>placed by bluish ; the anterior wings are greyish-white,' 

 shaded with l)luish, which become darker beyond the cell ; a broad outer marginal duU bluish l)lack fascia! 

 widest at apex ; nervures and nervules dark bluish, the median nervules and sul)median nervure more or 

 less margined with dark bluish ; posterior wings as in /•;. rn^ndrr,,, hut the markings bluish an,l iW outer 

 margin very broad at anal angle. Wings beneath as in E. r„xi„lrn,, hut the dark mottled markings mut-li 

 smaller and closer together ; anterior wings with two small submarginal ocellated spots (black witirgreyisli 

 centres), divided by the lower discoida! nervule ; posterior wings with eight similar sul)marginal spots, the 

 two uppermost largest, the lirst between and near the bases of tin: subcostal nervules, the second above the 

 discoidal nervule, and the remaining spots following regularly l)etween the nervules— two ])etween the lower 

 median nervule and submedian nervure ; the red basal colouring of the posterior wings occupies the largest 

 portion of the cell, and extends to the base of the abdominal margin ; the yellow space does not exteiul 

 from the al)dominal margin to the upper median nervule, as in P. vamulcnt, but terminates suddenly at 

 the second median nervule. 



Exp. wings, ^ , 53 millim. ; ? , 70 millim. 



Hab.— Malay Peninsula ; Sungei Ujong (Godfery— coll. Dist.).— Borneo ; Sandakan (Pryer— coll. ])ist.). 



Since describing this species, from a female specimen sent home by Capt. (iodfery, I have 

 examined male specimens which were captured in North Borneo by Mr. Pryer, These dilVcr 

 from the female by their smaller size, their darker colouring above, and by the smaller and 

 less vivid expanse of the red and yellow shadings to the under surface of the posterior wings. 



Capt. Godfery caught the species "hovering with somewhat feeble flight over the high 

 banks separating the road from the adjacent forest." 



Subfam. NYMPHALIN^.— Group MORPHINA (anlea, p. ('.7). 

 Genus AMATHUSIA (aiitca, p. 70). 



1. Amathusia phidippus {antca, p. 70). 



Several specimens of a variety of this species have been sent home by Herr Kiinstler 

 from Perak, in which on the under surface of the wings the outer dark fascia is — on the 

 anterior wings — somewhat narrowed and its outer margin broken and scalloped ; the basal dark 

 fascia3 are also narrowed, and therefore appear further apart, t 



Typical examples of the species are also plentiful in Perak, and I can find no reliable 

 character to differentiate this form as a distinct species. 



2. Amathusia dilucida. (Tab. XXXVIIL, fig. 7 J .) 



Amathusia Dilucida, Honrath, Berl. Entomol. Zeitschr. Bd. sxviii. p. 20G, t. 8, f. 3, t. 4, f. 3, /-, J (1884). 



Male. Wings above very dark chocolate-brown ; nntei'ior wings with a broad and inwardly crescentic 

 subapical resplendent pale violaceous fascia, commencing on costa, but not reaching outer margin, and 

 inwardly occupying nearly apical half of cell ; posterior wings with an evanescent violaceous outer margin, 

 the abdominal area pale brownish, and with two small and obscure dark spots on the caudate prolongation. 



■■'■ A species recorded from Sikkiiu aud Upper Tenasserim. 



f Herr Hourath has advised me that be considers this form as a distinct species, and proposed dcscriliing it as 

 A. -perahana ; this description, however, has not yet been pubhsbed.
