071 Eastern Butterjiies. 323 



Mr. Butler identifies Dusara of Horsfield with Fan- 

 thera, Fab. (Ent. Syst. iii. pt. i. p. 75) . The description, 

 however, does not appear to me suflBciently precise to 

 refer it with certainty to the present species ; I therefore 

 retain Horsfield's name, identified by a good figure as 

 well as by typical specimens. 



4. Elymnias lutescens. 



Elymnias lutescens, Butler, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 3rd 

 Ser. XX. 404, pi. iv. f. 10. ? . 



Hab. — Malacca, Sumatra (Wall.) ; Borneo (B. M.). 



The female from Sumatra has less red on the upper 

 wings, one from Borneo has the pale bands almost obso- 

 lete, while another has them more distinct, especially 

 across the apex of the anterior wings. Males from Borneo 

 are much darker than E. Dusara, with the pale band on 

 the hind- wings narrower, and enclosing a row of four or 

 five distinctly ocellate spots. 



I was at first disposed to class all these forms as 

 variations of E. Dusara, but as that species seems to be 

 very constant in both sexes, with little diflTerence be- 

 tween them, I have thought it better to keep it distinct ; 

 while the great variation that occurs in Bornean speci- 

 mens, and their close approximation to those from 

 Sumatra and Malacca, render it difficult to separate the 

 forms of these islands.
