Timor, Dili, Semao, Java. B. M. 



Eleven examples in the Museum series and four in the 

 Hewitson collection. /. venatrix appears to be the dry-season 

 form and is linked to typical L Vollenhovii by an example 

 received in the Godman and Salvin series. Wallace wrongly 

 gave Moulmein as the locality of his /. venatrix, supposing 

 that " E. Indies " indicated one of the specimens so labelled 

 from Archdeacon Clerk's collection ; had either he or 

 Capt. Watson looked up the register number this error would 

 have been discovered and saved much perplexity.
