of Butterjiies related to the Genus Morpho. 183 



the genus which have been sent from the Eastern islands by Mr. 

 Wallace, are described below, as forming distinct subgenera.

 The uniform colour of the upper side of the wings, united to 

 the minute and uniform size of the row of pale dots on the under 

 side, will suffice to distinguish this species from CI. Eumeus. 

 Fabricius is silent as to the row of minute pale dots, but they are 

 represented in Donovan's figure, as well as the sub-basal dark 

 striga. 



Faunis Canens, Hiibner, agrees entirely with Morpho Le- 

 onteus of Zinken ; the two outer strigas of the underside being 

 not very distinctly indicated, while the middle one is more suf- 

 fused ; the pale dot being very minute. 



Specimens sent from Malacca by Mr. Wallace (about 2\ inches 

 in expanse) differ in the richer red-brown colour of the upper 

 side of the wings, and in having the outer dark strigae obsolete on 

 the fore wings. 



A specimen from Singapore, in the British Museum, about 2| 

 inches in expanse, does not differ from Javanese individuals in the 

 same collection ; whilst specimens from India and Sylhet, in the 

 satTKi collection, and of the same size, have the upper surface 

 richer and redder fulvous than the Java specimens, and on the 

 underside the middle striga is more distinct, and much more 

 angulated, and the row of white dots small.
