322 Mr. A. R. Wallace's Notes 



1. Elymnias undularis. 



(^ . Papilio undtdaris, Fabr. Ent; Syst. iii. pt. i. p. 127 ; 

 Cramer, 256. A. B.; Melanitis undularis, Horsf. 

 Cat. Lep. E. I. C. pi. iii. f. 24, pi. viii. f. 8 ;

 Ent. Syst. iii. pt. i. p. 117 ; Elymnias protogenia, 

 Hiibn. Verz. b. Schmett. n. 323; Bihlis proto- 

 genia, Godt. Enc. Meth. ix. 327. 



Sab. — Singapore, Malacca, Borneo, Java, Lombock, 

 Flores, Timor (Wall.) ; N. India (B. M.). 



The ferruginous band on the hind-wings is often 

 obsolete, and in a specimen from Borneo, in the British 

 Museum, the blue spots have also almost disappeared. 

 Some females nearly resemble the males, but are more 

 dusky ; others are rufous, as in protogenia, Cr. Speci- 

 mens from Ceylon have the rufous band more intense, 

 and in some extending on the margin of the anterior 

 wings, where the blue spots are almost obsolete. This 

 very variable species cannot be separated into its local 

 forms, or races, without much more complete materials 

 than at present exist. 



2. Elymnias Esaca. 



Melanitis Esaca, Westw. Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 405 ; 

 Hewits. Ex. Butt. iii. pi. li. f. 5. 



ifafe.— N. W. Borneo (Coll. WaU.) . 



A species with remarkably rounded wings, but in its 

 type of colouration allied to E. undularis. 



3. Elymnias Dusaea. 



Melanitis Dusara, Horsf. Cat. Lep. E. I. C. Mus. 

 pi. V. f. 7. c?. 



Female. Like the male, but the pale bands are 

 broader, and somewhat yellower, and contain three or four 

 small pale spots on the hind-wings. 



.ffa&.— Java (Coll. Wall., B. M.) .
