 Malacca (Flotz), type in coll. Erhardt, Ribbe, 93-94. 

 This appears to be the Island form oi gana, Moore, from 

 India, with a narrower white space on the hind- wings and 

 uniformly smaller spots; I have it also from Java and 

 Borneo ; de Niceville's type came from Sumatra.

The underside of the hind-wing in the figure is darker 

 and has more blue in it than in any of the examples I 

 have examined, which are in every other respect identical 

 with Plotz's figure ; but this colour undoubtedly varies, 

 and I have a female with the underside of the hind-wings 

 pure white. Elwes' figure of titus represents a species un- 

 known to me; it represents latreillei, Stand., I presume; it 

 has no resemblance to Plotz's figure, therefore I reproduce 

 the latter.

N. Guinea (Plutz), type in coll. Erhardt, Ribbe, 95. 



I have this from Humboldt Bay, N. Guinea, received 

 from Ribbe ; there are examples in the British Museum 

 from Kapaur.
