fore that it is preferable to regard both graminifera and 

 distanti as subspecies of the continental core. The 

 Malaysian subregion thus has : — 



E. c. graminifera Moore Malay Peninsula. 



E. c. distanti Moore Sumatra. 



Swinhoe's circuita from Tonkin, Cochin-China and 



Siani' should also be included as a subspecies of core.

Euploea godarti layardi Fruhstorfer 1910, p. 23fi. 



Not recorded from the Malay Peninsula, but common 

 in Siam and probably extending south on the n^.ainland to 

 Lat. 10° N. 



A series of 16 in the F.M.S. Mus. from Pulau Condore 

 (Lat. 9° N.) off the S.E. coast of Cochin-China is referable 

 to this form, which Fruhstorfer and Godfrey unite with 

 the preceding species H. godarti. 



I agree with Bingham in keeping them separate, as 

 this series difl'ers imiformly from godarti in the sexual 

 brand on the fore wing of the male. This is broader and 

 double the length of that in godarii. It further differs in 

 the absence of a lilaceous patch in the apex of the fore wing 

 so prominent in godarti, and in the straighter inner row 

 of submarginal spots in the hind wing. 



Godfrey states tiiat godarti is very common in Siam, 

 but that the form tai/ardi is not. Breeding experiments 

 to prove the conspecific identity of the two forms are 

 needed.
